The broadcaster has not been on the The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show since she briefly returned to hosting on August 8, following a summer break.
Both Gaby Roslin and Mills have been standing in for Ball.
A BBC Radio 2 spokesperson said: “We are looking forward to welcoming Zoe back to the Radio 2 Breakfast Show tomorrow morning.”
The corporation had previously confirmed Ball would be returning to the breakfast show later in the month but did not give an exact date.
In a social media post in April, Ball announced the death of her mother and wrote: “We are bereft without you but will hold so tight to each other.”
Ball, 53, took over the Radio 2 morning programme in 2019 from Chris Evans.
She was the first female host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show in 1998, a post she held until 2000.
She also co-hosted the BBC’s Saturday morning children’s magazine Live & Kicking alongside Jamie Theakston for three years from 1996.
Ball has presented the BBC spin-off show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, and ITV’s reality competition show Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream.
