## Personal life

[edit]

In 1992 while they were both appearing in The Sound of Music Holden dated George Asprey.[41] She married the comedian Les Dennis in June 1995. The couple separated temporarily in 2000 after Holden's affair with actor Neil Morrissey.[42] Holden and Dennis separated permanently in December 2002 and divorced in 2003.
