Holly who is girlfriend to Leinster and Irish rugby star, Cian Healy made it into the top 11 models on the Sky Living show, and revealed he was on her mind throughout the shoot.

"It was kind of awkward and that (Cian) was one of the things that was going through my head."

"I know he would never ask me not to do anything, within reason, but that was in the back of my head too."

"I was worried about my body shape, I was worried about my face, I was freezing, I was thinking about Cian. I was thinking that I didn't do my best, but I'm still on the show so that's the main thing."

The couple have been together for a year and a half.

Carpenter, who was deemed the most experienced finalist, said she was annoyed with her performance on the shoot. Judge Danni Minogue that working with Holly on this task was "difficult."

"I model as my job, I thought I would be able to just go on any set and do what they asked, so that was disappointing for me.”

Holly added, "They liked my shot in the end and that was the main thing."
