Former pop star and Neighbours actor Holly Valance is reportedly considering a bid to become a British MP after declaring her support for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party.
The 40-year-old singer, best known for hits like “Kiss Kiss” and her role as Felicity ‘Flick’ Scully in the Australian soap Neighbours, announced her endorsement of Reform UK during a recent public appearance.

Valance, who holds UK citizenship through her British mother and resides in London and the Cotswolds with her husband, billionaire property developer Nick Candy, has made headlines for her political shift from the Conservative Party to Reform UK.
Valance’s attendance at the launch of former Prime Minister Liz Truss’ Popular Conservatism movement in London last month raised eyebrows, signaling her departure from the Tories.
Her vocal support for Nigel Farage and Lee Anderson, Reform’s first MP and a former Conservative, has further fueled speculation about her political ambitions.

A senior source within Reform UK expressed optimism about Valance’s potential candidacy, describing it as “fun.” This suggests that the party could welcome Valance’s entry into politics.
With her background in entertainment and newfound interest in politics, Valance’s potential candidacy adds an intriguing dimension to the British political landscape.
As Reform UK seeks to establish itself as a viable alternative to traditional parties, Valance’s celebrity status and endorsement could significantly boost its visibility and appeal to voters.
