Lorraine Kelly shares update on new project ITV

Lorraine Kelly has shared an update on her upcoming book project, revealing that she has reached the "happiest" time of the creative journey.

The television presenter, who has hosted her morning talk show since 2010, is currently writing her follow-up novel to The Island Swimmer, and revealed via social media that she has now completed the first draft.

"The two best and happiest words for a writer to type," she wrote on Instagram on Friday (January 3), with the post including a photo of a document with the words: 'THE END' typed out. "Book two completed !!"

Further comments included: "You are superwoman! How do you find the time to do everything you do? Amazing!" and "Yes!!!!!! I have a kindle so hoping the release date is the same or as near to Lorraine! This calls for a reread now of The Island Swimmer".

Kelly recently spoke to Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden on the presenter's What If? podcast, with Dowden opening up about her hopes to one day have a family with her husband Ben Jones following her treatment for cancer.

"Hopefully in years to come we'll be lucky enough to become parents, too, but [we're] taking every day as it comes," she said.
