Former pop star is credited with encouraging Nigel Farage to stand for MP and has helped raised millions for Trump

this side of the Atlantic, he was ebullient about the night ahead. “It’s a Holly party – you can guarantee it’s going to be enormous fun,” he told reporters.

Valance is credited with encouraging Farage to stand for MP and said she had been “whispering in his ear for a long time”. Valance’s fundraiser on Wednesday was attended by Donald Trump Jr and is understood to have been successful, raising in excess of $3m and leading to her being asked to host more.. She told the Guardian she had been “honoured to say a few words” at Farage’s 60th birthday party in April, describing him as a man of “strength and conviction” whom she felt “very protective of”.

But Valance, who has two primary school-age daughters with Candy, said being an MP “would be a tough job” that “deserves your full attention”. She added she would “need to be immersed in my constituency and that would take time away from my daughters if I was to do the job right. Which I’m not prepared to do right now.”Valance grew up in a suburb of Melbourne. She was born Holly Vukadinović to a Serbian father, Rajko Vukadinović, and a British mother, Rachel Stephens.

Candy’s politics appear to be more centrist than Valance’s. He has previously donated at least £290,000 to the Conservative party but said in February that Keir Starmer was a “decent man with good values and morals” and that he would be happy to see Labour win. Valance said her top political priority was Britain coming out of the European court of human rights and the establishment of a British bill of rights, saying “the trickle-down effect would be a huge step in the right direction”.
