The 2007/08 season was a disappointing one for Holt as he failed to reach the last 16 of any of the season’s seven ranking events.
The closest he came was at the first tournament – the Roewe Shanghai Masters – when he lost 5-4 to Graeme Dott, the world No 2 making a superb clearance in the deciding frame.
Holt put up a strong performance against Ronnie O’Sullivan in the Maplin UK Championship, leading 6-5 only to lose the last four frames. He finished the season with a 10-6 defeat to Michael Judge in the 888.com World Snooker Championship qualifiers, which confirmed Holt’s relegation from the top 32 after four seasons among that bracket.
He has reached three ranking event quarter-finals – the last of those was the 2005 Grand Prix.
Holt’s chief passion away from snooker is music and his idol is Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown. His brother Matt plays bass guitar in a popular rock band called The Kull.
He enjoys travelling, he has worked on Greek islands "pulling people into discos" and spent several weeks touring the USA in 2006.
The charismatic Nottingham Forest fan is also a qualified fitness instructor and an accomplished cook.
