The 22-year-old, from Wigan, became an Olympic champion in the women's B00 metres in Paris on Monday evening, shrugging off the weight of enormous expectations to claim the gold.
It makes her the first British woman to claim Olympic 00m gold since Dame Kelly Holmes at the Athens Games in 2004, and just the third going back to Ann Packer in 1964.
Asked how she will celebrate her success, Keely said yesterday: "I'm going to go and join my family I've not been on a family holiday since 2019 so they've gone over to Marbella today so I'm going to go join them in a few days."
She revealed that she was "more of a rose wine girl than a cocktail girl and said: "T'll be on the beach at ' some point having a nice glass of rose wine.
She jokingly promised to wear the gold medal on the beach in Spain, adding: "T'll snap a picture."
