Friends ‘concerned’ by new Holly Valance sighting
Friends have raised concerns for the former Neighbours star and her two daughters after she was seen spending time with a controversial name.
Holly Valance has been pictured unwinding alongside Tommy Robinson on a train trip. The Neighbours star was reportedly on a luxury steam train with the far-right activist, leaving worried pals “concerned”.
Holly and Robinson were seen lying down on the train on separate sofas in images posted on social media that date back to Robinson’s X account in October.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, was seen smiling as he swigged a drink.
It is not the first time Holly has been pictured spending time with the former EDL leader.
And her friends are reportedly concerned by her relationship with Robinson after the latest public snaps, according to the Mail.
Friends have raised concerns about the prospect of her two daughters, aged 12 and 8, spending time around the 42-year-old co-founder of the English Defence League (EDL) and a former member of the British National Party (BNP), the outlet reports.
One friend told the Mail: “There is concern about Holly and her two girls. Plenty of her friends are worried.
“The question is whether they (Ms Valance and Robinson) are romantically involved.
“Even if they are not having a romantic relationship, there is the fact that he has all of these convictions against him.”
Taking to X, Valance took a swipe at the mysterious timing of the old photo re-emerging online.
“Wow, a briefed Sunday rag story about my mate & me during my divorce proceedings, what are the chances!?” she wrote.
Robinson is well-known for being a member of the far-Right British National Party (BNP) and co-founded the English Defence League (EDL).
Holly, who played Felicity ‘Flick’ Scully in Neighbours, was first pictured with Robinson during his “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London back in September.
She wore a MEGA (Make England Great Again) hat at the event and later praised the march.
But worried pals claimed that she has recently “gone down a political rabbit hole”, reports the Mail.
Holly was previously married to Reform treasurer Nick Candy, but the pair split after 13 years of marriage in June.
Holly, also known as a singer for her hit songs such as Naughty Girl and Down Boy, has spent the last decade becoming an unlikely presence in political circles.
She has hosted fundraisers for the Reform party and she and Nick have made little secret of their support for Nigel Farage.
They were in the audience when Farage returned as Party leader last year and as far ago as 2022 they joined him and US president Donald Trump for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Robinson has previously been deported from many countries for national security reasons.
The far-right thug has convictions in the UK for fraud, stalking, assault, using someone else’s passport, using threatening behaviour, and contempt of court.
He has been disavowed by all major political parties, including Reform UK.
He has been jailed multiple times, most recently for 18 months in October 2024 for contempt of court after breaching an injunction by repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee.
The sentence was later reduced, and he was released early in May 2025.
Robinson was recently cleared of a terror offence after telling cops “not a chance bruv” when they demanded his mobile pin.
The former EDL leader was in a silver Bentley when he was stopped at the Channel Tunnel in Folkestone last July.
Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – had £13,000 on him and 1,900 euros and claimed he was on the way to Benidorm.
He claimed the phone had “journalistic material” on it and there was information about “vulnerable girls”, Westminster Magistrates’ Court was told.
