I think it's obvious why, women feel threatened by her.. and Im sure she's fully aware of that.
Both Alesha and Kara are good looking too but for some reason they dont cause that reaction with most other women, perharps they showed a vunerability that other women can relate with. Hopefully Holly's dancing will speak for itself and people will warm to her, she seems a fun girl plus she's got the hottest partner on the show (imo of course) so I reckon she'll be ok but I'd just be very surprised if she gathers enough support to make it far in the contest.”
I have to be honest with you that I know very little about her at all apart from the Kiss Kiss song. I really loved that song BTW, but couldn't really differentiate it much from the original Turkish singer and often wondered why she didn't make it slightly different.
But apart from that, she's a stranger to me.........I haven't watched any of those movies that she's been in, so can't judge her on those either.
So really I'm a virgin when it comes to Holly and therefore I have no past bias etc.
I think she's a stunning looking woman and hope she raises to the challenge of Strictly.
I therefore hope that what you have said about how she might come across as being smug, is in fact just being misunderstood. However, I fear that female viewers are very unforgiving in this area is she shows the slighest bit of smugness.
Let's hope for her sake that she reins that part of herself in on the show if it's a weakness of hers.
