The 'Strictly: It Takes Two' presenter was left devastated when her partner Billy Yates died by suicide seven months ago but she is believed to have found happiness again with businessman Michael Reed.
Zoe, 47, was spotted on a date with 47-year-old father of two and construction firm boss Michael earlier this week and friends say Michael is helping her to move on.
A source told the Sun on Sunday: "She deserves some happiness.
"It is great to see Zoe with a spring in her step - smiling and enjoying life again."She has had a tough time of it this year so deserves some happiness.
"It is early days with Michael but Zoe seems quite taken with him. She left her girlfriends to go and meet him so that shows how keen she is.
"Michael is a charismatic guy and very handsome, so it is not hard to see the attraction.
"He is also not in showbiz, so hopefully that might make any relationship easier."
Zoe and Michel were spotted enjoying drinks in London together on their date night before making their way to a hotel.
An insider said: "They seemed really close and were having an animated chat as they walked down the street to The Union Club.
"They looked cosy together as if no-one else mattered and like a couple in the early stages of romance.
"They didn't seem to meet anyone else there so perhaps wanted to be alone for a late-night drink."
Last year Zoe split from her husband of 18 years, Norman Cook, the father of her children Woody, 17, and Nelly May, seven.
