Actress, model and popstar Holly, first found fame in Neighbours as the wholesome Flick Scully. Moving from the small screen to the music world, she embarked on a pop career and had an international number one hit with her first single, Kiss Kiss in 2002, where she shed her girl next door image for something more provocative. Holly has also appeared in a number of other dramas and films including Prison Break, CSI Miami and CSI New York and Taken with Liam Neeson. Sexy and self assured Holly is sure to set pulses racing when it comes to the Latin dances.

What made you decide to do the show?

I really love the idea of taking part in a show the whole family can watch together. I'm excited about learning a new skill and getting super fit and strong. Obviously the show is incredibly popular and I'm proud to be involved in such a successful and loved programme that promotes a really positive and uplifting message.

What are you looking for from your professional partner?

Someone who is patient, perseveres with me and will push me to be the best. I'd also like to have a real laugh at the same time. I'm tall, so I also need someone who physically complements me, so I don't look like I'm leading!

Do you think stepping foot on to the ballroom dance floor will be more nerve-wracking than first stepping on to Ramsay Street?

Yes, If not more! There's no chance of a 'Take 2' on Strictly!! I have to get it right and blow it out of the water first time!

Your appearance in the video for your hit song Kiss Kiss was famously provocative... are you prepared for some of the sexy Latin outfits on Strictly?

The question is…are the outfits prepared for me?! Ha! Listen in all seriousness, I'm very excited about the theatre of the costumes and the thrill of a live show. But I'm not riding on my outfits to get me through, sheer hard work and skill is what I'm going for!
