Holly Valance reveals HER role in Nigel Farage's decision to lead Reform

Neighbours star Holly Valance says Nigel Farage opting to lead Reform into the General Election is "exactly what we all wanted".

The ex-Ukip chief told a room full of reporters yesterday that he will contest for the Tory-held Clacton seat.

Speaking to GB News Political Editor Christopher Hope, Valance lauded the decision, saying it's the "right move".

The ex-soap actress said she has been in Farage's ear trying to convince him to stand at the General Election.

"I have been whispering in his ear for a long time", she said.

"I said, 'pull your finger out, give the people what they want', he is the face of Reform.

"Richard [Tice] has done an incredible job and he is a great guy, they are an incredible team."
