The 23-year-old previously divulged that she’d love to write a novel one day and it looks like she may be drawing on her own experienced growing up in Dublin when she puts pen to paper.
“Even when I was in school, I’ve always wanted to write a book,” she explained.
“I’d like to just write about a girl growing up in Dublin, Not specifically about me, but it would just based on my experiences.”

Speaking at the launch of Dublin at Christmas’s Festive Programme, Holly said that while she doesn’t have any upcoming TV projects on the horizon just yet, she’s hoping 2016 will be a big year for her career.
“No TV stuff at the moment but I always keep one eye open so I’m hoping next year will be a big one,” she told Goss.ie.
Meanwhile, Holly has plans for a quiet and cosy Christmas this year.
“I’ll be in Dubin, the last couple years I’ve gone to the RDS on Christmas morning for the homeless, but this year were just doing Christmas boxes instead and sending them out,” she said.
“Probably have a big Christmas dinner at home with my cousins and all the lads. I just love Christmas at home, I ‘d never really want to go out for Christmas.”
