He is joining Virgin Radio to present a new show on Saturdays and Sundays.
Norton tweeted: "Congratulations Claudia Winkleman, you'll love it!! Welcome to BBC Radio 2 Saturday mornings!!"
Ball responded to the news with a simple but effective "Wahooo".
Drivetime host Sara Cox said it was "the BEST news", adding: "As a massive fan of Graham I was a little wibbly of belly about who was taking over his Saturday morning show so absolutely over the moon & thrice round Uranus that it's Claudia Winkles.
"Funny, very smart, witty, great interviewer - perfect choice."
The BBC confirmed Winkleman would present her new show throughout the year - including the months where she also presents Strictly on Saturday nights.
