Loose Women’s Kelly Holmes 20 years on from Olympic gold – coming out, life on her terms, and moving in with new girlfriend
Dame Kelly Holmes, Olympian turned motivational speaker and author, couldn’t have been in better spirits when she caught up with OK ! after hosting an Athena Effect women’s networking event at the Corinthia London hotel. Despite spending the whole day engaging in deep conversations about empowering women, Kelly brought just as much passion and enthusiasm when she chatted to us about her “transformation” and life now.The 53-year-old former middle distance runner, who this year marks two decades since winning double gold medals at the Olympics in Athens, has found a sense of peace and serenity in recent years, telling us she’s “got to a point in life where I’ve found my own voice” and that she “really doesn’t care” what anyone thinks of her.
