Former actress and singer Holly Candy (formerly Valance) stepped out in London on Tuesday at an event in support of right-wing political party, Reform.

Reform held a ticketed dinner at Oswald’s private members club in a bid to attract new donors, especially those who shunned the Conservatives in the last UK election.

Tickets for the glitzy event were priced between $25,000 to $50,000AUD.

Candy has been a huge supporter of leader Nigel Farage and his right-win politics, and has been used by the party to help bring in donors.

The event proved to be a big success, with it thought to have brought in more than $2.5m AUD dollars, an extraordinary amount for a party that six months ago was on the fringe of national politics before gaining their first ever seats in the general election.

“Reform is the future of this country,” Michael Hewitt, a retired U.S. Navy admiral and co-founder of the nuclear technology firm IP3 International, said after the event. “It’s the same movement that Donald Trump created.”

Reform stunned political commentators last year when they won a record five seats in parliament, and 14 per cent of the vote overall.

After Candy’s pop career floundered, she ended up marrying a billionaire and turning her back on her pop legacy, instead setting her sights on becoming a mouthpiece for right-wing politics.

In the past she’s bemoaned how ‘wokeism’ has gone too far in Australia, citing the speeding tickets. She’s stuck up for her chum Boris Johnson – whose third wedding she attended – for “having a drink in your home which is also your office … any other country would say, piss off.”

Australia previously wouldn’t let Candy back into the country when she refused to get the Covid jab, and she even missed her sister’s wedding.

Last year, Candy opened up about her bizarre turn toward politics.

“I would say that everyone starts off as a leftie, then wakes up at some point, after you start either making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, and then you realise what crap ideas they all are,” Candy told GB News. “And then you go to the right.”

She had largely shunned the spotlight since marrying her husband, billionaire property developer Nick Candy in 2012.

However, her growing popularity among right-wing circles seems to have sparked a willingness for her to return to the limelight.

Working alongside his brother, Nick is known for developing projects like London’s One Hyde Park, one of the most expensive residential buildings in the world, and has an estimated net worth of $2 billion.
