Short Biography
the early years

Holly McGuire was actually born Victoria Louise Yallop in Orsett Hospital,Grays, Essex on Sunday 23rd April 1978 at 10.50am to parents Sharon ( a beauty therapist) and Bill (a lorry driver).

At the age of 2 years, Holly`s sister Charlotte was born (Now a Solicitor), and as a family they emigrated to Christchurch,New Zealand.

Although the laid back, slow pace of life did not suit the young married couple with two young children, after a long holiday in Singapore deliberating their future, they decided to visit friends in Perth, Western Australia, and at last found themselves at home, it was here they were to stay for the next 2 years, buying land and building a house, until Holly`s Mum became home sick, and they moved back to England, just in time for Holly to start school at Little Thurrock Primary, Grays, Essex.

But it wasn`t long before Holly`s parents came to realise that they thought they had made a mistake and wanted to go back to Australia. The only trouble with this, was that the laws had now changed slightly, it was now very difficult to gain entry into the country if you was not a citizen, and so started a lengthy process of interviews at Australia house in London.

Holly`s Dad Bill had to go back to college full time to re-train as a carpenter and french polisher as his current profession as a lorry driver was not one on the entry trades list, so times were difficult financially and Holly remembers growing up they never had much money to spare, but thats not to say that Holly was not exposed to glamour from an early age.

Holly`s Aunty Julia, was a showgirl at The Moulin Rouge Paris, and went onto marry her uncle Ferdinand, of "The Ferco`s" a magic illusion act featuring Lions and Tigers - and of course glamourous showgirls.

Holly`s Uncle John, was a guitarist for 80`s rock band "On the Waterfront", who had various top 40 hits. Eventually in 1988, Holly and her family finally had their acceptance letter from Australia house, and begun packing up their home once again to emigrate back to Perth, Western Australia.
