Telford 24 Seven

It’s always the quiet ones

Hollie Miller

At school, Hollie was the quiet one. Her friends assumed she’d go to university and end up an accountant. Instead, she became a glamour girl.
Former William Brookes school pupil, Hollie Miller, is a Telford model who, instead of entering the dusty world of accountancy, revealed her charms to an audience of internet browsers, lad’s magazine buyers and nightclub goers.
The Ironbridge pin-up shocked friends and family when she started peeling off. Hollie says: “At school, I was the shy one. People just thought I’d go off to uni and that would be that. My friends were amazed when they saw me in magazines and online. I was the last person they expected to see modelling. They thought I’d be an accountant.”
Hollie, who currently works full-time at a Telford jewellers, learned about the world of entertainment during a BTEC course in popular music at New College, Wrekin. She started singing in a rock band called No, named after a bassist’s tattoo. When her bandmates went to university, Hollie went solo.
She left Telford, seeking work as an entertainer at holiday camps. Hollie says: “I wanted to be a red coat at Butlin’s. But they wouldn’t accept me because I was too young. So, instead, I went to work for a different company, at Skegness. I worked for a year as a compere for children’s entertainment. It was great fun, one of the best jobs I’ve had.”
Working as a compere brought Hollie into contact with models, actors and other entertainers. She used those contacts to launch her career as a glamour girl.
Hollie says: “I moved back to Telford in 2004 and started modelling in 2005. Basically, I’d met a few people who were actors and dancers and models.
“They asked me if I wanted to have a go at modelling. I’d always been very quiet and shy, so they didn’t think I would. But as soon as I got my confidence, I decided to go for it. Everybody who knew me was shocked.”

Since 2005, Hollie has also earned work modelling for online shopping catalogues. Her pictures have appeared in risque lads’ mag Nuts, she has sung in men’s clubs and at holiday camps and earned promotional work at leisure clubs, gyms and nightclubs.
Hollie, at the tender age of 23, has now retired from glamour modelling. She is, however, still involved in the pin-up business. Her wide array of contacts help find work for other budding starlets from Telford. Hollie also organises charity functions; last year she helped raise £350 for Breast Cancer Research during an event at Madeley Court Sports Centre, which was attended by Page 3 girls.
“I’m still very interested in glamour,” says Hollie. “Though these days I’m on the other side of the fence, acting as an agent for other girls.”

Hollie is currently raising money for charity with a calender called The Girlie Calender. Further details are available at www.myspace.com/thegirliecalendar and it is on sale nationwide.
