She's a double Olympic gold medalist from the Athens 2004 Games.

She is a Dame of the Realm.

And she was Ivan's latest guest on the Thursday Interview.

From her birth, to her upbringing by her mother and stepfather (who she simply calls her father), to discovering her talent for running, to joining the military, on to her successes at the Olympic Games, she gets into it all on the Hard Shoulder.

Holmes also goes into her struggles with mental health, and why she wants her Dame Kelly Homes Trust to give people from disadvantaged backgrounds a chance.
