There are exceptions of course. Off the top of my head I could cite Fanny Flagg, a noted TV personality and comedienne, who wrote Fried Green Tomatoes and it was both a literary and cinematic success.
We see a lot of non fictional books being written by TV, sports, and movie personalities, but they are most often ghost-written books which are expose's of the celebrity's life and experiences, but as novelists I think you would have to look far and wide to find an exceptional one from this group.
It would be the same as asking if noted sculptors or painters would make good authors. Within the limits of their specialty such as a book on sculpture or painting .... perhaps .... if they have good writing skills as well, but probably not as novelists.

Some times it can even benefit the book because it can be helpful for hearing their voice.
For Example My Booky Wook by Russell Brand is undeniably his voice, and it really helped me connect with his story.

One feels like a duck, splashing around in all this wet. And when one feels like a duck, one is happy!
