Following her first show back on TV, a body language expert revealed Holly showed a "hint of vulnerability". Speaking to The Mirror, Judi James revealed: "This was a subtly different version of Holly on her TV return. Looking sensational in her silver sequinned sheath dress and standing hand-in-hand with Mulhern in a way that suggested a hint of vulnerability at her return after a long gap, her body language later made her look a little more grown-up and just a little bit wiser than she had before.
"The wide smile was still in place but the excitable girlishness had gone. Her eye expression looked more serious and just a little bit more sombre and her voice had lost some of those higher notes and playful, girlish squeak."
