due
to be published next year.
The ITV presenter, 63, said she had always wanted to write fiction and had
felt that it was now the "right time" to do so.
Titled The Island Swimmer, the book is due to be published next February, by
Orion Publishing.
Kelly shared the news in a video announcement on Monday.
"I'm really delighted to share with you the news of my debut novel.
"Ive had such a brilliant time doing this. Its something that Ive always
wanted to do. I always wanted to write fiction.
"And I just felt that this was the right time."
The Island Swimmer tells the story of Evie, a woman who returns to Orkney
after years away and struggles to reconnect with her family and community.
She finds herself taken in by a group of cold-water swimmers, a pastime that
Kelly enjoys.
"I wanted to bring my passion for that to the story as well, and really hope
that you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
The novel was inspired by her love of the Orkney Islands, which is "very
much at the heart of the story".
The Island Swimmer is available for pre-order online now.
