Lucy stars as a Kylie Minogue impersonator in the international hit show, 100% Kylie. The show has toured across Australia, Dubai, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Fiji, New Zealand and Singapore. It is the longest running Kylie Tribute show in the world. Minogue herself has called the show the 'best Kylie act' ever on Twitter.[1]
Holmes has also starred in TV adverts as Kylie, and has performed on many TV shows such as StarStruck, The Footy Show, Postcards, A Current Affair, Mornings with Kerri-Anne, The Morning Show and Battle of the Choirs.
Lucy also appeared in an episode of Big Brother in 2008, appearing briefly as Kylie Minogue in an internal window in the house during the housemates' "Paparazzi" task. This involved housemates having to photograph any "celebrities" (being either images or live impersonators) in the house. Housemates were notified that a "celebrity" was in their presence by the sound of camera flashes being played.[2]
A recent appearance saw Lucy as Kylie on ABC3's Prank Patrol. The episode notes read " Today’s prankster, Oakleigh, asks Scotty to her help prank her super-sporty cousin, Danielle. Scotty accepts the challenge and gets to work planning a trip to the laundromat with a special appearance from a Kylie Minogue impersonator, a crazy laundromat lady and problematic washing machines."[3]

Lucy hosted Channel 9's live phone-in game show, The Mint alongside five other hosts before its cancellation on 29 March 2008.[6]
