Aussie star set to split from billionaire UK husband
Former singer and Neighbours actress Holly Valance and Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy have reportedly split and are heading for divorce after 13 years of marriage.
Australian-born Valance, 42, and billionaire property developer Candy, 52, are said to have broken up in recent weeks, according to The Sun.
The couple, who have two daughters, met in 2009 and became engaged two years later before marrying in California in 2012 at a ceremony attended by 300 guests.
"This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family," a family friend told the newspaper.
"The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority.
"They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance.
"This is a family matter and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully.
"Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family."
A spokesman for Valance said there would be no comment at the matter.
"The privacy of all parties involved is respectfully requested."
The couple are high-profile figures within Reform UK, and met Donald Trump with party leader Nigel Farage at the US president's Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022.
After her stint in the Australian soap Neighbours where she played Felicity 'Flick' Scully from 1999, Valance had a music career, including the UK number one hit single Kiss Kiss released in 2002.
She also reached the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.

Rock royalty AC/DC ready to pass down crown to Melbourne punk outfit Amyl and the Sniffers
Is AC/DC passing the torch as Australia's biggest rock band? Embarking on their first tour of Australia in a decade, the ageing rock legends tapped Melbourne punk outfit Amyl and the Sniffers as the support act for the five-city run of shows in the Power Up tour at the end of this year. The nod to the emerging punk rock icons — who have played Glastonbury and Coachella so far this year — has sparked the question of whether AC/DC has nominated their successor to the title of the country's biggest rock export. Started in 2017 by four housemates, Amyl and the Sniffers is led by singer Amy Taylor — an outspoken 29-year-old whose on-stage presence mirrors that of the late great AC/DC singer Bon Scott. Joining Taylor are drummer Bryce Wilson, guitarist Declan Mehrtens and bassist Gus Romer, creating a classic rock sound with punk vibes and a thick, Aussie accent. Tour promoter Christo van Egmond said Amyl and the Sniffers matched AC/DC's live performance energy and attitude. They were his top recommendation to the band for openers, describing them as 'the natural choice'. 'Amyl and the Sniffers have absolutely blown up over quite a period. But they are very hot at the moment, and we're seeing them everywhere,' van Egmond said. 'In the pub rock genre they are at the top of their game, and certainly the biggest Australia has got to offer. 'It's a unique opportunity for them to play with their absolute heroes. 'One of the guys has got a huge AC/DC tattoo. They they love the band.' He said AC/DC fans can expect a performance which has good Australian pub rock energy. It's not the first time the band has been linked to AC/DC, with Taylor highlighting them as a major influence in previous interviews. The group covered AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap at Perth's Highway to Hell festival in 2020, to rave reviews. One critic said they could be Scott's 'bastard children'. After the announcement the band would be joining AC/DC on tour, Taylor took to social media dubbing them the 'the best rock and roll band in the world'. 'I just can't believe it I am so excited. Never ever ever would have dreamed this. Highlight of my literal life,' she wrote, before adding, 'a band's music that's been weaved through my whole life.' 'Mainly just excited to see them play multiple times.' Van Egmond also revealed that each concert would be opened by a local support act, backing in the Perth live music scene by finding an up and coming band to play Optus Stadium for the two nights 'It's going to be an amazing series of concerts, and at a great time of the year with, you know, Amyl and the Sniffers as a great special guest and then some great local openers in in each in each of the markets,' he said. 'We're supporting the local music scene by having local openers, and then we're, you know, supporting the Australian music scene by having an Aussie band like Amyl and the Sniffers.' It comes as tickets for the second and final Perth show on December 8 went on sale on Monday, with organisers saying sales were strong. After announcing shows across Australia last week, the band scheduled a second concert in each city after tickets sold at an average rate of 1200-a-minute Ticketek, the official ticketing provider for most of the Australian shows, said last Thursday marked the largest concert on-sale day in its 40-year history, eclipsing AC/DC's previous record for its Black Ice World Tour in 2009. 'This second Perth show will definitely be the final show that will be added to the Australian tour,' van Egmond said 'We can confirm that absolutely no further shows will be added to the Australian leg.'

Jimmy Barnes opens up about terrifying health scare: ‘If we have nine lives, I've used up at least seven'
If a near-death experience re-defines a person's life, rock music legend Jimmy Barnes has had multiple re-definitions. He's survived years of drug and alcohol addiction, countless health emergencies, and the open-heart surgery (his second) he endured 18 months ago. Barnes has famously stared death in the face and won. Again and again. 'I've confronted death a few times,' he laughed. 'But normally it's sort of self-inflicted.' 'If we have nine lives, I've used up at least seven.' Now the 69-year-old swears he will treat his final two with far more respect. Barnes has taken time out of his busy concert schedule to speak with 7News in an exclusive backstage interview before the Sydney show. He's nearing the end of his sell-out 'Defiant Tour' – his first solo tour since that near-death moment in December 2023. The man who could be described as the heart of Australian rock and roll, had suffered a savage bacterial infection of the heart. It came after complications from a hip replacement. Barnes has just about toured more hospital wards than concert venues in those 18 months – and he was glad to back on stage. And the Sydney gig was special: in the audience are the medical team from St Vincent's Hospital that saved his life. 'They're coming along to see how their little handiwork went,' he laughs. 'They saved my life. So, you know, I'm forever grateful.' So are his fans. Defiant shot to the top of the ARIA charts this month, his 16th Number One album. His publicity team says that's two more Number Ones than The Beatles, and three more than Taylor Swift. 'How lucky am I? It's extraordinary, isn't it? I don't take it for granted,' he said. 'When I think that, you know, joining Cold Chisel 50 odd years ago, 16-years-old and thinking, will we make a living? How long will the band be going? And to be doing this this long afterwards, and we're still having people turn up. It's a blessed life.' His life now is in a very different place to that teenager's but it's still driven by the same dream: to make music. But in December 2023, he and his wife genuinely believed that run of luck had come to its end. 'I literally turned to Jane and said, 'I think this might be it. I think it might have caught me finally'.' He revealed that he actually made preparations for the worst. 'I did do a lot of that,' he said. And as he lay in his hospital bed, he was writing music with a message that held the hint of a farewell. 'I've sort of changed the way I wrote the songs I wrote,' he admitted. 'And I'm letting everybody I know that I love them, know that I've had the best life, you know.' Surviving that has changed everything about his life. 'Well, I'm healthier'' he says. 'If I want to enjoy my family and the life that I've built and I want to continue to make music and be relevant and bring joy to people, I've got to stay fit, I've got to be healthy, I've got to be focused.' 'These days, I appreciate every single day, every step I take.' He still performs at 110 per cent and 120 decibels. His face looks ready to explode and he belts the lyrics to the back of the hall in that traditional 'Barnestorming' way. And he refuses to change or slow the pace. 'It's like having primal therapy every night. Your pain, your fears, your love, your anger - all in an hour and a half on stage - and you can walk away and say, 'I'm okay now'.' His next major milestone will be his 70th birthday next April. Any advice for those of us coming after him? 'I think you can always get better,' he says. 'I honestly believe the more focused I am, the more I look after myself, the more I open up to the people around me and listen to them, the better I get.' He insists he's heading into the best years of his life – as a husband, father, grandfather and musician. 'I think I'll be performing until I drop. Defiant,' he declares. 'I am defiant.'
