Former Neighbours star-turned right-wing campaigner Holly Valance has reportedly vowed to take her billionaire ex-husband for “every penny”, telling friends she feels like the injured party in their recent split.

The 42-year-old signed a pre-nuptial agreement with her property developer beau before walking down the aisle 13 years-ago, but experts — and Valance — believe she could be entitled to a substantial slice of his nearly $3 billion fortune.

“Holly is incredibly upset. Her main concern is, and always will be, for their two daughters,” a source close to Valance told The Sun.

“But when it comes to the divorce, she’s made it clear she wants what she’s owed and will take Nick for every penny. She insists that she is the injured party in this.”

“It’s been a very painful time for Holly and she has told friends that the split was not on her terms,” the source said.

“Given the circumstances, it feels as if there could be some room to manoeuvre.

“Whatever the sum ends up being, it will be in the tens of millions of pounds.”

In return, one of Candy’s friends told The Sun, “Nick is a very decent guy and he will always do right by Holly and their children.”

Valance rose to fame for her breakout role as Felicity “Flick” Scully on TV soap Neighbours, joining the cast at 16 in 1999.

She later launched a successful music career. Her 2002 debut single Kiss Kiss reached the top of the charts in several countries.

She met property tycoon Candy in London in 2009 through mutual friends and he proposed two years later.

The pair share two daughters and have an extensive real estate portfolio that includes a $AUD340 million Knightsbridge duplex, a $142m Chelsea mansion, a $100 million mansion in Los Angeles’ exclusive Holmby Hills and an $18m Oxfordshire estate.

In 2015, Candy, 52, famously gifted Valance a $54 million Benetti superyacht despite her chronic seasickness. They sold the yacht in 2023.

In March last year, Valance made headlines with a viral interview in which she spoke candidly about her political views and high-profile connections, further cementing her role as a prominent figure in Britain’s conservative circles.

It’s understood the couple split following a challenging period balancing family life, public commitments, and Candy’s demanding work schedule in property development and as Reform UK party treasurer.
