Zoe Lyons has kept herself busy in the last couple of years by having what can best be described as a monumental midlife crisis.
It involved buying a sports car, having a brief marital separation and running a 100k ultra marathon which really didn’t end well. Along the way her hair decided the best thing to do was abandon ship. It ain’t easy being a middle aged woman: try doing it with a combover.
Thankfully Zoe has been able to explore the funny side of all these twists and turns. It's time to sell the silly car and try and put the wheels back on her life.
As well as being the host of BBC2’s Lightning, Zoe has also appeared on Live at the Apollo and House of Games, and is a regular on Have I Got News for You, QI and Mock the Week.
Zoe is an immediately recognisable voice on Radio 4, with multiple appearances on The News Quiz, Just a Minute, The Unbelievable Truth and The Now Show, and as regular co-host of Frank Skinner’s show on Absolute Radio.
