Last week, Holly explained how the official registry ceremony was taking place in Charlotte Quay, 'the restaurant where we had our first date'. "Evan Doherty is doing our wedding photos,' she told 'He's obviously been friends for years, and then it's just 12 of us, so it's just our closest family, and it's going to be really intimate and chilled. Holly's father, Karl, who was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome in February 2020, walked her down the aisle. Holly and Jamie pictured together on holiday News in 90 Seconds - May 29th She had previously offered an insight into her dad's battle with cancer after he was admitted to hospital for six weeks when he picked up an infection. Writing alongside a Facebook post in February, Holly shared 'an update on Karl's journey so far'. 'This is just a small insight into the uncertainty he has faced and how quick things can change,' she wrote. 'Like so many, Karl is extremely grateful to @mariekeatingfoundation and everyone who is supporting @paddys_day_dip. 'We are stronger together.' Since her dad's cancer diagnosis Holly and Jamie have been throwing their support behind the Marie Keating Foundation's cancer support services, which are provided free of charge to anyone who needs them. Last year, they raised over €20,000 for the charity and hope to raise even more this year. Jamie's father Keith was diagnosed with terminal cancer and sadly passed away in September 2024. Holly said: 'Jamie's dad Keith was still around with us at the time. He was a big fan of sea swimming right up until he was 89, up until the end. 'When they talk about how good sea swimming is for you, he was a living testament at the time. 'We're encouraging people to take part all around the country. It's something we'd love to keep growing and growing.' Last year Holly also opened up about her decision to become sober after a night of heavy drinking, telling followers that it has been one of her best decisions. The former Miss Ireland told followers that the previous September she woke up 'extremely hungover' and levels of anxiety that felt 'through the roof'. "I had drank so much the night before that I blacked out. I remember I woke up with the all too familiar feelings of self-hatred and shame and severe, severe anxiety,' she said, adding that even a few drinks would impact her mental health. She said her life is 'so much better' since she made the decision to give up alcohol and even though she did not drink daily or even weekly, the aftermath was 'so bad' for her when she did drink that she grew tired of it.
