Television presenter Zoe Ball has revealed how her school friends used to make fun of her ears.

Zoe, who lives with her husband, musician and DJ Norman Cook, in Hove, said she was called FA Cup because of the shape of her ears.

She recalled the jibes while promoting a new show about reunions called Class Of ... which is on air at 9pm on BBC2 on Sunday.

The daughter of Seventies icon Johnny Ball, Zoe said: "I wasn't good-looking at school.

"In fact, I looked like a boy and the guys I fancied didn't fancy me."

Zoe will be seen this week presenting the prestigious Brit Awards on ITV.

Norman is nominated for best video and dance act under his moniker Fatboy Slim.

The ceremony is today at Earls Court in London and will be broadcast on ITV1 tomorrow.
