Graham Norton is thrilled that his "cosy crime" novel Holding has been adapted into a TV series, though he has admitted that he had no desire to adapt it himself.
The presenter, 58, released the best-seller in 2016, with the novel having now been turned into a four-part comedy drama - which is set to air on ITV later this month.
The author is said to have been delighted when former EastEnders boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins, 44, approached him and asked if he could re-tell the story.
