Holly Matthews is coming home to Newcastle with one clear mission, to help people be 'the best version' of themselves and give them tools and techniques that could potentially change their life, as she hosts self development event Restival in the heart of the city.
It was back at the turn of the millennium that Holly first shot to TV fame as one of the most recognisable faces in the later years of legendary Tyneside shot series Byker Grove. After leaving the Grove and 'doing a PJ and Duncan' by landing a chart hit, Holly went onto star in another BBC show, Waterloo Road, but is now best known for being a life coach, acclaimed author and the founder of The Happy Me Project, an initiative which has seen her launch online coaching, a successful podcast and land a best selling book on Amazon.
Holly is now based in Coventry but will be back on home turf on Saturday, April 22 as Restival takes over The Royal Station Hotel, with Holly being joined by celebrity guests including 911's Lee Brannan, now forging out a successful career as a personal trainer and Big Brother winner Anthony Hutton, who runs his own barbers and has been very candid about his mental health struggles after becoming a household name on the reality show its hey-day.
