Sussex-based superstar DJ Norman Cook and his wife Zoe Ball are back together, he told reporters this morning.

Norman, 39, known to millions of fans as Fatboy Slim, was speaking from his home on Hove seafront.

He asked to be left alone to get on with rebuilding his marriage to Zoe, 32, a radio presenter. The couple have a two-year-old son, Woody.

Zoe walked out last December and later had a relationship with fellow DJ Dan Pepe, prompting fears that her marriage was over.

But she and Norman were pictured on Brighton seafront at the weekend. Both were wearing their wedding rings.

Today Norman said he was back with Zoe and added: "Our private life is our private life. We just want to be left alone to get on with our lives now."
