Louise Minchin certainly wasn’t wasting any time when it comes to new endeavours as she revealed that she’ll be bringing out a new book.
After devoting 20 years to her BBC Breakfast career, the 53-year-old TV star stepped down from her role last month.
Having enjoyed a few weeks without setting the alarm for 3:45am each day, the mum-of-two is raring to get back to work again.
Until now, Louise has remained tight-lipped about any future projects that were in the pipeline.
The newsreader has confirmed that she will be writing a book about women’s challenges in sport, along with continuing her podcast that is focused on mental and physical benefits of sport and exercise.

Announcing the new publication, Bloomsbury Sport wrote: “We’re thrilled to announce we’ll be publishing Adventures With Superwomen, the second book from former BBC Breakfast presenter @louiseminchin, in September 2023.
“Join Louise as she sets out to meet women taking on some of the toughest challenges in sport.”
Louise was quick to spread the word, re-tweeting the news on her own Twitter page and 226,000 followers.
She penned: “I am so excited about this, thanks @BloomsburySport.”
Her celebratory post was inundated with comments, including many compliments from friends in the industry.
Presenter Andrew White commented: “Excellent Louise,” another fan added: “Fabulous news – I loved your first book. Been waiting for this second book.”
With many others offering up “congratulations” and well wishes.
Back in June, the long-serving presenter announced her exit with an emotional statement live on air.
She explained: “It will be this year 20 years since I first presented this programme.
“Since then I’ve felt part of a huge, enormous BBC Breakfast family which includes everyone who works here, everyone on the team and every one of you who watches the programme.
“I’ve loved being part of it, but – there is a but – I’ve decided that it is time that I stop setting my alarm for 3.40 – sometimes if I’m feeling really rebellious 3.46 in the morning – and I’m going to be leaving the programme.
She continued: “It’s not going to be for a while.
“But before anything else, I wanted to thank everybody who is watching for your loyalty and support over all these years.
“I have absolutely loved being part of it and I will really miss it but it’s time now to stop that alarm early in the morning. Thank you for watching all these years.”
