Sara Cox Says Teen Son Snubs Her at Gym as She Recovers From £11m Children in Need Feat

Her Radio 2 Drivetime hours limit school involvement, leaving husband Ben Cyzer to handle most parent duties.

Overview

  • Cox completed 135 miles over five days for Children in Need, raising more than £11 million and finishing in Pudsey on November 14 after starting in Kielder Forest.
  • She says recovery has been difficult, reporting poor sleep and lingering stiffness in her knees and shins.
  • The presenter says her 17-year-old son, Isaac, often ignores her at their gym, giving a look that signals her to keep away.
  • She says she frequently apologizes to her children for missing school events due to work and worries about the toll on them.
  • Cox serves as a Centrepoint ambassador and says she has met Prince William through the charity, reflecting too on her 1990s ‘ladette’ image and a 2000 on-air remark about the Queen Mother that drew 12 complaints.
