Career

Holmes began her work in 1989 as a journalist at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. From 1996 to 1998, she worked as a media spokesperson for the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG). In 1998, she co-hosted SBS presentation of the FIFA World Cup.

From 1998 to 2000, she worked as a sports presenter for television station Channel Seven. Her contract was terminated amid some controversy in mid-2000 after she had an affair with journalist Stan Grant who was married at the time.[3] Holmes then moved overseas with Stan Grant and worked as a sports broadcaster in Hong Kong and Beijing.[1][2]

In 2006, Holmes returned to Sydney. She acted as fill-in presenter for Richard Glover's radio drive program on 702 ABC Sydney during the 2006/2007 summer break. In February 2007, Holmes was re-appointed as the ABC Radio Grandstand announcer, taking over from Simone Thurtell who moved to 1233 ABC Newcastle as Drive presenter. However, in 2009 Holmes left Grandstand to again follow her husband who was working for CNN as a reporter in Abu Dhabi. Holmes also worked for CNN in the middle East covering social issues, business and sport. In 2011, Holmes re-joined China's English-language news channel CCTV News as an anchor.

Inn 2014 Holmes returned as a reporter on ABC News Radio.[4]
