    At 2 minutes & 29 seconds in to the interview, the interviewer asks Holly about where her family is from. Holly says her mother’s family are from Southampton, England, but also adds that she has Spanish Grandparents.
    So Ethni I think you need to add Spanish to Holly’s ethnicity.

  4. eMI says:

    SHE LOOKS ENGLISH,SHE IS NATURALLY BLONDE WITH BLUE EYES

  5. Amy says:

    She looks Albanian, or Turkish I think. So when you said Serbian, that’s not surprising.

    • emmy says:

      she looks definetely serbian/slavic and absolutely not albanian- you probably have never seen one! i mean, to what albanian are you comparing her?

      • fatkat says:

        and Serbs do not looks slavic, ok? The Balkan nations are ethnically very mixed and it’s very likely that she has some turkish blood in her, considering that Serbia was under the Ottoman empire for centuries. And Amy is right, I know albanian girls who resemble her

        • andrew says:

          what do you mean for “the Balkan nations are ethnically very mixed”? It’s nearly impossible to distinguish a Serbian from a Croat from a Bosnian etc..

          “She has some turkish blood in her, considering that Serbia was under the Ottoman empire for centuries”

          I am VERY dubious about that
