Ms Holden now features in the new Disney film Hoppers as Amanda the Spider and has said that the role is “absolutely extraordinary” and “a dream come true”.
The 55-year-old features in the upcoming animated film, which follows the story of Mabel, voiced by Piper Curda, who uses secret technology to turn herself into an animal.
Speaking about her latest role ahead of the UK premiere of Hoppers, Ms Holden told the Press Association: “I mean, it’s a dream come true.
“Obviously, Disney and Pixar are in every family household, and to be part of an iconic movie like this is just absolutely extraordinary, and something that I just never though would happen.”
Ms Holden described her character as a “sharp-witted, sarcastic spider”, and she features in the film alongside her friend Alan Carr, who she said is “playing a little squirrel”.

Speaking about working with the Celebrity Traitors winner, the 55-year-old told PA: “Alan and I were allowed to direct each other, so obviously we took the mickey.
“Alan made me crouch down, jump up. Go large, go small. I made him stand on one leg, spin around.
“He even dressed up as a squirrel just because he’s so method. I wore a spider fascinator. We were totally in character for the whole thing.”
Ms Holden was joined by her co-star Curda, as well as director Daniel Chong and producer Nicole Paradis Grindle at the event in Leicester Square, London.
American actress Ms Curda described the movie as “weird” and “unexpected”.

“If you want to see a movie that gets a little spooky, this one will do it. There truly is something for everyone.”
Hoppers will be available to watch in cinemas in the UK from tomorrow (Friday, March 6).
