Former Neighbours actress and pop star Holly Valance has declared she is voting Reform at the next election, saying she hopes the insurgent party blows the Tories “to smithereens”. The Mail has more.
The 40-year-old, who is married to billionaire property tycoon Nick Candy, made a rumble last month being tipped to join the Tory party as an MP after she launched a viral rant about Lefties having “crap ideas”.
Yet just weeks later her allegiance has changed, revealing last night she would be ditching her loyalty to the Tories and will instead vote for Reform in the next General Election.
“Last time I voted Conservatives,” she told Christopher Hope on GB News. “Next time I’ll be voting Reform. I think the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome and I’m sure as hell not voting Labour.”
Holly’s political pivot comes just days after Lee Anderson became the first MP to join Richard Tice’s party after he had the Conservative whip removed over comments ‘Islamophobic and racist’ comments about London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
Throughout the interview the singer also revealed she wanted the party to be led by former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage and said Jacob Rees-Mogg would make a good Prime Minister.
Hailing Mr. Anderson, Holly said: “I support anybody that sort of sticks to what they believe in and isn’t a turncoat, doesn’t do a million flip flops and U-turns.
“So I can have respect for that. Even for like nutters on the other side, if you stick to what you believe and you keep reiterating that over years and years I can always respect that.”
She added: “Lee’s moved from Labour to Conservatives now to Reform. It’s really weird because there was this Reform party in Canada in 1993 that ditched the Tories in Canada as well, or got rid of the blew them to smithereens, which is probably what’s going to happen here.
“It’s not that I think that we’re necessarily going to have a Reform Government but that it’s a means to the next chapter.”
Valance clearly enjoys being able to speak her mind and not having to worry about how she is perceived by the right-on set. “I’m on no-one’s payroll,” she added. “My opinions are my own. Some of them will stink to you and some of them will stink to your listeners, but they are mine. … Unless my kids are doing it, who can cancel me?’

Speaking of Reform, did anybody see this appalling harassment of Lee Anderson yesterday when he was out and about? It’s like a lump of dog muck sprang to life and started gobbing off at him. Absolutely vile this abusive ‘woman’ is, though I’m definitely getting manly vibes, but see what you think. I hope she was arrested and Lee gets even more supporters off the back of this;

Isn’t this ‘woman’ trans Mogs?
She does look manly in that clip, but I suppose some women do look more butch or even just androgynous. What was the name of that javelin athlete from the ’80s? Not Tessa Sanderson, the other woman. She looked incredibly masculine.
On a side note, I see there’s no white male leaders anymore in the UK or Ireland. But I’m sure it’s just coincidence….diversity is winning;

Fatima Whitbread?
Whoops, I posted before noticing your reply.
Maybe Lee should show what a nice guy he is and buy it a shot put.
Fatima Whitbread?
That’s going to seriously embarrass Labour after the next General Election – assuming they win.
They’ll have to ditch Starmer PDQ and find a “person of colour” or they might be branded WAYCIST.
I found this difficult to watch.
Was surprised how close she was allowed to be near him.
i really hope she was arrested, you just cannot go around abusing people like that.
If she wasn’t arrested that is a sign that we tolerate this?

An off – t dump but I have just received this corker.
GP surgeries in Nottingham have been paid for work they haven’t done and have to pay it back – yeah right.
I see press speculation about Mordant being appointed without an election as Tory PM. Usual reaction – things get difficult Tories go left but ignore members.
Mordaunt will be a great help, she’s a Billy Best Buddy.
Had a thing about her when she was felicity in neighbours. Smoking hot with sounds opinions.
I didn’t know Mordaunt was in Neighbours. Is Neighbours still going?
I believe it stopped for a while, and has recently started again (or is about to) with half the cast being gay, trans/other. Not quite what it used to be.
Thanks
Whoa whoa horsey! Holly Valance played Felicity in Neighbours not Penny Mordant….
I think the wrong end of the stick has been grabbed
Thanks Dinger. I must confess I didn’t realise Mordaunt was an actress. Of the thespian kind that is. She does read Billy’s scripts quite well at the Ballot Box.
Sorry, I didn’t correct huxley on that point because I assumed it was a joke!
Not sure how being in Neighbours makes your opinions newsworthy though.
A sobering comment on how we deal with the ship from the always readable Todd Hayen.

The destruction of the Conservative Party is essential for the restoration of democracy and the rule of law in the UK.
People who always or mostly voted tory should ask themselves why they did that. Was it because they wanted a conservative or right of centre party to govern? if so then who do they now think are the conservative or right of centre party? ——-It certainly is NOT the tories so why would those who voted for conservatives or right of centre parties keep voting for them?
Good for her. I’d not heard of Holly until last week, let’s hope her rich hubby chucks a few million at Reform.
She made the cardinal sin of saying that Nigel is charming and, when he introduced her to Trump, she also found him to be very personable (or words to that effect).
So it’s just as well she considers her acting career to be over ….. because a la Laurence Fox ….. it certainly is now.
