Holly’s keeping a low profile when it comes to love

Beauty keen to shed Wag tag with next romance

SINGLE Holly Carpenter has revealed she’s looking for love online after three failed high-profile relationships.

The formed beauty queen previously dated a string of well-known faces including rugby star Cian Healy, Corona’s frontman Danny O’reilly and soccer ace Richie Sadlier.

The 26-year-old told the Irish Mirror: “Being in high-profile relationships can be stressful particularly being called the Wag.

“If you’re going out with someone in the public eye no matter what you are achieving yourself they’ll always draw in what your partner is doing and if you’re being called ‘the girlfriend’ or ‘Wag of ’ etc, it’s really frustrating.”

“This happened when I was with Cian and it was a bit much when you’re trying to do your own stuff.”

The former Miss Ireland admitted she’s in no rush for love but would be keen to meet a fella with the same qualities as her father.

At the launch of Battle Of The Stars in aid of Breast Cancer Ireland, she added: “I’d like to find someone like my dad, a normal, funny, protective man.”

The brunette revealed she’s even embraced looking for love online.

She said: “I downloaded Bumble last week in a moment of madness, it’s like Tinder but the women have

Battle of Stars launch to speak first. I’d never actually go on a Tinder date though but I’m just doing it for a laugh.”

The model-turned-jewellery designer just launched Lovelift, which has gone into 19 Carraig Donn stores nationwide.

Her brand is about loving yourself for who you are and female empowerment and having studied ceramic glass and metals at university it was the perfect fit for a jewellery line.

Inspired by the Metoo campaign, she said: “I do really support it, I think it’s really good now that men are watching themselves and how they speak to women.

“It doesn’t have to go as far as having a girl locked in her hotel room and assaulting her.

“It’s little comments that dig at women’s self-esteem day to day, it’s about changing the whole language that’s acceptable for men to use.”

Having carved a career in modelling in her late teens, the Dublin beauty has been on the receiving end of inappropriate remarks.

She said: “I was lucky nothing terrible ever happened, but when I was younger and I had started modelling, you’d get the odd sexual comment about what you’d be wearing.

“When I was 19 there were men saying odd things, the same age as my dad, but nobody ever made an advance but they’d make sexual comments.”
