She began her final message by remarking it had been a ‘real privilege’ to host the show, as she praised the ‘special, intimate relationship’ she had with the listeners, saying it felt like ‘having a chat with a mate’.
Ball shared: ‘It’s been such a gift to do this show, to follow wonderful Terry and, of course, Chris, tough acts to follow. Pretty cool to be the first lass to host and I won’t be the last. Remember, girls, you can do anything.
‘So to the biggest stars of our Breakfast Show, that’s you all of our listeners, young and old, and those in the middle, thank you for tuning in, whether as a lone listener, as a family, as a work gang on your morning jogs, dog walks, truck drives, training, commutes or hiding in bed, it’s been a real privilege to keep you company through your morning manoeuvres.
‘You’re just there, and I’m just here having a chat with a mate. It’s such a special, intimate relationship. It’s never lost on me that we’ve been through life’s little highs and little lows together.
Chuckling, she reflected on years of ‘much laughter, silliness, few tears, lots of singing and dancing’, and said ‘dear Scott [Mills will look after you in the new year’.
Quoting Paul Williams’ hit, she went on: ‘You give a little love and it all comes back to you. I’ve felt that love from you listeners. I send buckets of love to you. Take care of yourselves lovely peeps, my top cats.’
