Why is Holly Forbes bald?
When Holly was around 11 years old, she began experiencing seizures.
The doctors ended up putting her on medication that made her hair brittle and patchy.
Due to the variety of drugs she had to take, it eventually resulted in her losing all her hair completely.
She said: “For a kid, it’s not easy being bald.
“At that time, I listened to music. It gave me confidence.”
Holly has said how she loves the idea of The Voice as it doesn't judge appearances but the actual ability to sing.

Who is her coach on The Voice?
Holly not only managed to get one chair to turn, but four.
Although judge Blake Shelton was the last to hit his button, he was blown away with Holly’s performance.
Blake explained: “What a great performance. My favorite part was when you hit these little notes in the verses. That’s impressive.
"That’s what makes you not just a singer, that’s what makes you an artist and someone that everybody can relate to on the stage at that moment.
"So, I would be proud to be your damn coach.”
Ariana Grande jumped in, saying: “That was so incredibly moving. I am choked up beyond.
"Every single second of it was so emotionally charged. I respect and admire and would love to work with you.”
Kelly Clarkson gave her pitch to Holly.
"She said: “[Ariana’s] great, I get it, but I’m great, too.
"I’ve won this show a few times; I’ve won a show on my own. I loved your voice from the beginning, especially when you did the growl, the raspy soulful thing.
"You just got lost in it and you became the vessel for the song and that’s the most beautiful thing.
"I know there’s maybe a slim chance, because if my baby girl liked her, I’d probably go with her, too, because I do everything my daughter loves, but Violet, I’m really cool, too!”
Finally, it was up to Holly to make her choice on who she wanted to be her coach and to everyone's surprise, despite being a huge Ariana Grande fan, Holly went with Kelly.
She said: “I grew up with you, Kelly Clarkson, so I’m going to go with her.”
But there was another twist after she failed to secure her coach Kelly's vote in The Knockouts.
