Holly Carpenter has spoken out with an update on her dad’s health following her sudden disappearance from social media.
Taking to Instagram, Holly admitted that she didn’t have a great Christmas, as her dad has been in hospital for the past seven weeks.
Holly’s father, Karl, is currently battling a rare blood cancer, having been diagnosed with the disease back in 2020.
Last year, he was unable to attend his daughter’s destination wedding in France as he was undergoing treatment.
Holly previously shared that she was horribly trolled for having two big weddings but said she has no regrets about hosting both days as her dad walking her down the aisle at her ceremony in Dublin made it “really special.”
She said: “Back in May, when Jamie and I got legally married, we were still really optimistic that he would be able to make it, but we still decided to make this Dublin wedding really special, just in case.”
Updating her followers this week, Holly shared: “Did I have a good Christmas? Probably not, I was kind of glad to see the back of Christmas.

“My dad’s been back in hospital for nearly seven weeks now, and I won’t get into it, but obviously it’s been quite difficult, and so that is probably why I’ve been quite quiet.
“So apologies for going dark, I guess,” she added.
“It’s hard to come on and just talk normally and be animated and positive when you’re not feeling that way, you know.
“So I’d rather just like not force it.”
