Zoe Ball washed away her recent marital troubles by munching some baked bean-flavoured crisps for charity.

The Hove-based presenter threw caution to the wind in an advert for Comic Relief.

Blowing a raspberry to recent Press intrusion, Zoe played her trump card by stripping off for the Walkers Crisps commercial with Gary Lineker.

She was filmed lying in a bath enjoying the snack and breaking wind as Lineker prepares to attack her.

Zoe said: "I am a great believer in doing things properly if you are going to do them. So I gave it my best shot and I'm told I'm up for a Bafta for the best- actress-farting-in-a-tub award."

It proved Zoe has not lost her cheeky humour despite weeks of heartache.

Meanwhile, husband DJ Norman Cook, Fatboy Slim, was all smiles after confirming his marriage to Zoe was back on.

The couple have been battling to save their four-year relationship since Zoe returned from a two-week break on Sunday.

Norman drove back from London to the pair's home in Hove yesterday after visiting Zoe where she was staying in Crouch End, north London, at their other home.

He smiled at photographers camped outside his luxury seafront home when he arrived.

Speaking to reporters through an intercom, he said: "We are seeing each other again but we really want to be left alone now."

Earlier, arriving to present her radio show in Leicester Square, London, Zoe looked tired but refused to elaborate on her husband's comments.

Norman has been looking after their two-year-old son Woody since they stunned the showbiz world by announcing their marriage problems last month.

The pair split up in December, confessing their marriage had suffered a "wobble".

Norman, 39, was devastated when 32-year-old Zoe revealed she had struck up "a deep friendship" with fellow DJ Dan Peppe.

But he always insisted he would take her back.

He has remained in Hove, where he has been working on his new album.
