She carried a large suitcase and a £2,500 Christian Dior tote bag as she made her way to a waiting car.
It comes after it was revealed that Holly and Nick, 52, are divorcing after 13 years of marriage.
Friends told The Sun that the couple had quietly separated in recent weeks.
A family friend said: 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family.
'The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority.
'They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance.'
The couple - prominent figures in right-wing political circles - were last seen together in March during a lunch outing in London.
Holly rose to fame in the early 2000s playing Felicity 'Flick' Scully in the Australian soap Neighbours, before launching a pop career.
She launched a pop career and her 2002 debut album Footprints produced several hits, including chart-topper Kiss Kiss.
But she was sued by her former manager and forced to hand out a £200,000 pay out.

Broke, she moved to Los Angeles where she continued her acting career - starring in US TV show Prison Break and appearing alongside Liam Neeson in Taken.
Nick, a billionaire property developer, co-founded the luxury real estate business Candy & Candy with his brother Christian in the early 1990s.
Their developments include the ultra-exclusive One Hyde Park in London, valued at over £1 billion.
The couple married in 2012 in a lavish £3 million ceremony in California attended by 300 guests, including music mogul Simon Cowell.
In recent years, Holly and Nick have emerged as vocal supporters of Reform UK.
Nick left the Conservative Party last year and was appointed Reform's treasurer in December, pledging to raise tens of millions for leader Nigel Farage — including donating a seven-figure sum himself.
Holly has also been a visible presence in political circles.
She visited Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022 alongside Farage and her husband attended Boris Johnson's wedding celebration in 2021.
She is credited with encouraging Farage's return to frontline politics.
Speaking last year about her political shift, Holly said:'Everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, then realises what crap ideas they all are.'
A spokesperson for the couple said: 'This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.'

Neighbours stars Tim Robards and April Rose Pengilly reunite in gory horror film
Neighbours stars Tim Robards and April Rose Pengily have returned to screens for a very surprising - and gory - reunion in Australian horror film Drax. The pair, who starred together as a married couple in the long-running soap, play two lovers on a date that goes pear shaped after they encounter a monstrous force. Their scene is a homecoming for fans of Neighbours, who bid farewell to Tim's character, businessman Pierce Greyson, following his shock decision to quit the show in 2020. Drax was written and directed by Australian filmmaker James Demitri, and is currently on the festival circuit. 'April and I had fun being in a very different scenario, and in US accent,' Tim said of his experience filming with April again. 'It was kind of very familiar, but also totally different. I get to play a real a**hole which is fun.... and second nature!' he laughed. April also spoke fondly of the reunion, saying: 'I've known [director] James since early in my modelling days, and obviously worked closely with Tim on Neighbours (we were married, after all!) so it was lots of fun reuniting with them both on set.' 'It's always great working with people you know as you have a shorthand way of communicating and can get stuck into the work straight away - there's no awkward 'getting to know you' phase.' Filmed in neon-lit Sydney, Drax is described as a contemporary spin on the vampire genre. It tells the tale of a disillusioned bloodsucker and artist Drax (played by David Charlie) who becomes entangled with a young skater named Marcus (Finn Middleton). Also starring in the film are Australian talents Emily Teede and Tatjana Marjanovic, with cameos from Matt Levett, Alex Pychtin, Tomi Grainger and Monique Simone. 'For me, Drax is about the question of who is the real monster when the mask comes off. It explores regrets and how people carry them, how those regrets shape us and become part of who we are,' Demitri said in a press release. April and Tim starred together on Neighbours from 2018 to 2020, initially playing lovers before their characters tied the knot in December 2019. Their union, however, was short-lived, as cracks soon began to show throughout 2020 with storylines involving loss, betrayal and distance. Their scene (pictured) is a homecoming for fans of Neighbours, who bid farewell to Tim's character, businessman Pierce Greyson, following his shock decision to quit the show in 2020 'For me, Drax is about the question of who is the real monster when the mask comes off. It explores regrets and how people carry them, how those regrets shape us and become part of who we are,' says director James Demitri By the end of that year, the couple had separated, bringing their on-screen romance to an end. Shortly after, Tim stepped away from the soap. He had originally joined the cast in 2018 for what was meant to be a short guest role, but his popularity saw the part expanded into a regular role. Tim is married to Anna Heinrich. The couple share two daughters - Elle, three, Ruby, one. Anna and Tim met on the 2013 season of The Bachelor.

Ticketholder scoops gigantic £210m EuroMillions in super jackpot draw – making them richer than Adele
Scroll down to see who the UK Millionaire Maker Selection winner is WINNER WINNER Ticketholder scoops gigantic £210m EuroMillions in super jackpot draw – making them richer than Adele A LUCKY lotto player has scooped a whopping £210milllion in the EuroMillions superjackpot draw. The ticket holder from France has now become richer than Adele - who has a reported net worth of around £180million - after winning the eye-watering prize. 1 A lucky winner from France scooped up £182million Credit: Getty The jackpot has rolled over during recent draws, as there has been no winner, meaning the prize has now reached its cap of 250 million Euros (around £210 million). Tonight's EuroMillions winning numbers are: 24, 31, 34, 41, 43 and the Lucky Stars are: 06, 08. One lucky person has also become Britain's newest millionaire with the National Lottery Millionaire Maker. This follows a 250 million Euro win for an Irish family syndicate on June 17 in the EuroMillions draw. The jackpot had reached the maximum amount on June 6 after rolling over several times. Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at Allwyn, said: 'Tuesday's jackpot has the ability to transform not just the winner's life, but the life of the friends and family around them. 'So, make sure you get a ticket to be in with a chance of banking Britain's biggest ever win.' Every EuroMillions ticket also bags you an automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker, which guarantees at least one player will pocket £1million in every draw. You can find out if you're a winner by checking your ticket against tonight's numbers below. The UK Millionaire Maker Selection winner is: XMPX55830. Tonight's National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 04, 08, 13, 36, 38 and the Thunderball is 07. The first EuroMillions draw took place on February 7, 2004, by three organisations: France's Française des Jeux, Loterías y Apuestas del Estado in Spain and Camelot in the UK. Exact location of winning €250 million ticket revealed This comes after the winners of the largest-ever EuroMillions jackpot revealed the risky move they took after receiving the life-changing news. After winning a staggering £213,000,000, a family syndicate took a unique measure to protect their golden ticket. The family, who won the money as a syndicate, described the experience as "surreal". Their good fortune came about as one of the family members ran an errand in Co. Cork and decided to buy a EuroMillions ticket. "Although I'm a regular player, I hadn't bought a ticket for the last two draws. I picked one up and honestly, didn't think much of it," they said. The impromptu purchase changed the family's lives forever. While they waited to cash in, the family took extra precautions to protect their winning ticket. However, their unique move proved potentially risky as they concealed it within an A4 sheet before placing it under a stack of laundry. It remained in the pile of clothes in their bedroom until it could be safely delivered to the National Lottery.
