Fran Kelly has revealed her next career move.

The former political journalist, 64, is returning back to the ABC to feature on a 'glitzy' chat show called Frankly on Friday nights.

Kelly left the ABC's Radio National breakfast show in 2021 and will now talk to actors, musicians, 'big thinkers' and 'change makers' on the new program.

'I'm so excited about this new show,' she said on Wednesday.

'Leaving RN Breakfast was bittersweet… I'm loving the sleep-ins but missing all those incredible conversations with fabulous guests from around Australia and the world.

'People have been asking ever since what's next for me. Well this is it and I can't wait.

'More great conversations, a live audience and my own band … what's not to be excited about. It's such a privilege and going to be so much fun.'

ABC's Head of Entertainment Nick Hayden said he was delighted to bring Fran back, saying she has 'a warmth and depth of intelligence'.

'We couldn't be more excited to invite the audience in to hear her chat with the most interesting and electrifying people on the planet,' he added.

In a bittersweet moment, Kelly reluctantly left Radio National after 17 years, making the announcement live on air.

The radio veteran said it was 'the hardest decision I've ever had to make' and she had 'never not loved' the job.

'Breakfast radio is very demanding, it's a hard taskmaster, getting up around 3.30am for 17 years, and I never want to be in a position where I can't give it everything, because every day it takes pretty much everything, so I felt like my body and my brain this year was saying it's time.'

Patricia Karvelas, 41, replaced Fran as the presenter of the breakfast show.

The current affairs journalist and political correspondent stepped into the role earlier this year.

She said she was 'humbled' to be taking over from the longtime host.

The ABC has yet to release a date or time-slot for the new chat show Frankly.
