Olympia Valance and fiance Thomas Bellchambers almost married in a secret wedding last month.

The actor and former AFL ruckman were planning to tie the knot on their property in Daylesford but she said COVID restrictions on guest numbers thwarted the party.

“We were going to have our wedding actually in March and it was going to happen at our property,’’ Valance said.

“There were going to be too many restrictions on numbers, we realised it was still a residential property and not actually a venue so we decided to spend our money on renovating the farm.

“But now we’re back in motion and planning again.

“(My dress) was getting made but now we’ve decided to put it on hold until we plan it properly again.”

Valance and Bellchambers celebrated their two year anniversary on Wednesday.

They made a glamorous entrance at Binge’s premiere of new American series Mare of Easttown at Palace Cinema Como on Thursday night.

A fan of Aussie actor Angourie Rice who stars in the drama alongside Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce, Valance made the most of her first red carpet outing since COVID struck last year.

“This is the first premiere I’ve been to in a long time,’’ she said.

“I love Angourie. I’m a huge fan of hers, I’ve watched her on Ladies in Black recently and absolutely love her. I remember seeing her in Spiderman and had no idea she was Australian.”

A former Neighbours star, Valance said it was hard one when asked about the allegations of racism on the show.

She said she was focusing on her Splash Vodka range and other “little things on the side”.

Valance said she missed AFL WAG series Playing For Keeps which was axed by Network 10.

“Honestly I didn’t realise how loved this show was,’’ she said.

“That’s sad because we had the best cast and it was so much fun.”
