ITV host Lorraine Kelly hasn’t been seen on her regular morning programme so far in 2025, with Ranvir Singh sitting in for her.

Lorraine Kelly had fans emotional as she announced “the end” in a candid social media post, gushing: “Thank you everyone.”

The ITV morning show host hasn’t yet been seen on our screens in 2025, with Ranvir Singh stepping in for her all week to host the flagship show.

Now Lorraine has taken to Instagram with a picture that simply read “THE END” – but thankfully the words had no bearing on her ITV show. Lorraine announced in her caption: “The two best and happiest words for a writer to type. Book two completed!!

“Thanks to everyone who bought book one – The Island Swimmer. The paperback version will be released soon.”

Fans were loving the news, with one gushing: “Yes, yes, yes! Can’t wait to read it.” Another added: “How marvellous. Can’t wait to read.”

“I’ve just finished The Island Swimmer. It was brilliant, I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait for book two,” somebody else echoed. A fourth social media user said: “Loved your first book – well done, can’t wait.”

Lorraine’s book The Island Swimmer follows Evie, who returns to her family home on Orkney when her father falls desperately ill. Desperate to repair her relationship with her estranged sister, Evie prepares her father’s house for sale and finds herself drawn to a cold-water swimming group.

The novel is about community, the secrets hidden on an island and the mistakes of the past. It quickly became a Sunday Times bestseller and has a 3.95 average rating on Goodreads.

The plot and title of Lorraine’s second book haven’t yet been announced.
