Holly Valance has been spotted out for lunch in a ritzy London suburb, in what’s a rare public appearance for the former Neighbours star.

Valance, 37, was pictured in an electric pink suit jacket with matching top and black jeans as she left swanky seafood eatery Scott’s Restaurant in Mayfair on Tuesday.

Valance became a household name in Australia after she was cast as Felicity “Flick” Scully in Neighbours back in 1999, and just one year later, won the Logie Award for Most Popular New Talent.

She left the soap in 2002 to pursue a music career with her debut single Kiss, Kiss going straight to Number One.

However, Valance has kept a relatively low profile since relocating to London and marrying billionaire property developer, Nick Candy, in 2012.

The couple welcomed their first daughter, Luka Violet Toni, in November 2013 and their second, Nova Skye Coco, in September 2017.

In an interview with podcast Made By Mammas last year, Valance spoke about her life as a mother.

“At the beginning with Luka I thought it was absolutely terrifying, it’s like the best and worst thing to ever happen to you,” she explained.

“It’s terrifying. You’re exploding with love, but you don’t know what you’re doing. You’re absolutely exhausted and fumbling around just trying to survive.”
