If she is working in the afternoon she is always home by 5pm on the dot for tea time and will then will get her children, Harry, 12, Belle, 10, and Chester, 7, ready for bed.
Speaking to award-winning novelist, Elizabeth Day, Holly said: "I’ve always had good rules in place. The majority of the time I fight really viciously for that even if it literally means me walking off the set [...] and I’m sure there are people at the time that go, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe she’s doing that!’
"But I really have to hold onto that, because otherwise there’s too much opportunity for that stuff to slip away and then the person who goes grey inside is you, because you’re the one that hasn’t got that balance right."
Holly went on to explain that having a family to get home to made it easier for her to say no if it results in not leaving herself with enough personal time. She finds it easier to stick to her own strict rules because she is doing it for someone else.
She went on to add: "I think I drive people mad that I work with and I definitely know that I am, like, ‘Little Miss No - is what I’m known as.
"Because I sort of turn down an awful lot of stuff and I walk away from an awful lot of stuff if it feels like it’s getting too much. I’ve always been really protective of that."
