Former Neighbours star Holly Valance will not stand for Reform UK at the General Election, despite speculation.

The actress and singer was reported to be considering standing against Tory party chairman Richard Holden in a bid to be elected as an MP for Basildon and Billericay in the July 4 poll.

A friend of the star earlier told the broadcaster Valance was discussing the idea of standing in the election for Reform.

The 41-year-old made headlines in February when she called for Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg to be Prime Minister and labelled leftwing ideas "crap" at the launch of the right-wing Popular Conservatives movement.

UK property tycoon Mr Candy , who is a Conservative Party donor has praised Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's business ties and criticised Tory infighting.

Mr Candy, who is reported to have donated £100,000 to the Tory party when Boris Johnson was prime minister in March 2020 has said the level of infighting in the Tory party has led him to think the country needs something different.
