Holly Matthews (née Wilkinson, born 13 October 1984) is an English actress, vlogger and former singer.

Career

She started her career in the hit BBC children's drama Byker Grove, playing the role of Emma Miller. She left the show to pursue a singing career after signing to Sony UK. She appeared on various TV shows promoting her single "Little Miss Perfect" under the name Summer Matthews. The song's instrumentation consists of a guitar and synthesiser.[1] An editor from Cambridge News noted that "Little Miss Perfect" is reminiscent of songs released by Canadian recording artist, Avril Lavigne.[2] However, they felt that it was "not the worst single ever made", although "not one you're likely to remember either."[2] Matt Gray of The Digital Fix wrote that the song "doesn't quite scan", and joked that it has "all the ferocity and attitude of a cute ickle Care Bear. He also felt that "Amy Studt and Avril Lavigne do it a lot better" and went on to describe it as a "bland, uninspired pop tune".[1] "Little Miss Perfect" peaked at number 32 on the UK Singles Chart in the week dated 28 February 2004.[3]

She attended the British drama school East 15 in 2005, and left after winning a high-profile role in the BBC drama Waterloo Road, playing the bully Leigh-Ann Galloway.[4] Since that role, Matthews has continued to act in BBC's Doctors, playing Connie Whitfield; in ITV's The Bill playing drug addict Josie Clarke; and she was back in Doctors in 2009, playing Tansy Flack.

Away from her acting career, Matthews works as a personal business and mindset coach to female entrepreneurs and creatives.[5] In November 2016, Matthews launched her flagship online, self-development course The Bossing it! Academy.[6]

Matthews is a Huffington Post blogger,[7] and was personally asked by Arianna Huffington to write for Thrive Global. Matthews is also a paid vlogger, creating content for Channel Mum.[8]

Personal life

Matthews gave birth five weeks early to a daughter, Brooke, early in 2011.[9] At five months old, Brooke was diagnosed with meningitis, which Matthews herself had at seven years old. In October 2016, a video showing Brooke telling off the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Theresa May, went viral.[10]

On 29 July 2017, Matthews' husband Ross Blair, son of Andy Blair and brother of Matty Blair, died from a brain tumour.[11] Matthews has raised more than £11,000 for the Warwickshire hospice where her husband spent his final days.[12]
