Who is Holly Valance married to? Billionaire Nick Candy's net worth and life

Holly Valance, a former cast member of Neighbours, is supporting Jacob Rees-Mogg for prime minister and has called ‘leftie’ ideas “c**p”.

In an interview at the event, Valance, who went to the Westminster protest with her British property billionaire husband, called the speakers “fantastic”.

She said: "I would say that everyone starts as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after you start either making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, and then realise what crap ideas they all are, and then you go to the right."

Valance told GB News that Liz Truss was "really, really interesting to listen to”, and then she said, "Jacob for PM”.

Along with calling Ashfield MP and former deputy chairman of the Tory party Lee Anderson “awesome”, the 40-year-old added, "Love a northerner, straight to the point and very sensible, and for real people."
