She said: "Like most British women, I love my jeans but often struggle to find the perfect fit. This programme will reveal the hidden truth behind jeans and will offer lots of advice so we can all find that elusive perfect pair, whatever our shape and size."
Celia Taylor, Sky 1's head of features, said: "Kimberley is gorgeous, funny and charming and I'm thrilled she is doing this film for Sky1."
Walsh has already been a roving reporter for The X Factor and presented red carpet coverage at the Baftas for MTV.
The programme will be screened later this year.
