Holly Valance calls climate activist Greta Thunberg a ‘demonic little gremlin’ and slams Australia for going ‘woke’ in explosive interview

Holly Candy, known professionally as Holly Valance, has taken a stunning swipe at climate activist Greta Thunberg in an explosive interview with GB News’ Chopper’s Political Podcast.

Valance, 40, a former pop star and Neighbors actress who has recently rebranded as a conservative commentator, didn’t mince words as she revealed her thoughts on Swedish-born Thunberg, 21.

The Aussie star told podcast host Christopher Hope: ‘I don’t understand why you have this, like, demonic little gremlin high priestess of climateism as the goddess of the classrooms, Greta (Thunberg).’

“All the kids all come home with depression and anxiety,” she said.

‘Why would you go to your music class or bother to do your homework or get out of bed if you think we’re all dead in five years anyway?’

Elsewhere in the interview, the mother-of-two said she had no intention of moving back to her native Australia and lamented that the country is ‘waking up’.

‘The Australia I grew up in was unreal. It was so much fun and we didn’t seem to have all these problems … the woke stuff has really become big in Australia,’ she said.

Holly elaborated on the ‘woke culture’ and pointed to ‘what they teach in school’: ‘I don’t think sexuality and children should be in the same sentence. I don’t think anyone’s sexuality is anyone’s business. You don’t know about mine. I don’t know about yours. Why should we?’

Valance, who is married to billionaire property developer Nick Candy, was born in Australia but holds British citizenship through her British mother. She lives in London and the Cotswolds.

Holly also took the opportunity to target ‘nanny state’ Victoria, explaining that she still gets fined every few months for not voting. The government will “fine you for breathing,” she joked.

She also firmly ruled out a return to Australia should Labor win the upcoming UK election.

‘The plan would be to stay and live where we love, which is here, I’m very patriotic to this place. My mother is from Southampton. My whole family is English,’ she told the podcast.

‘I don’t want to go anywhere. And Nick doesn’t want to go anywhere. We prefer to be in our country.’

In 2012, Holly married Nick in Beverly Hills and they welcomed two daughters together in 2013 and 2017 named Luka Violet Toni and Nova Skye Coco.

The couple enjoy a lavish lifestyle and previously lived in a two-storey Hyde Park penthouse worth £175 million, making it Britain’s most expensive apartment.

Nick and Holly have since downsized to a £10 million country mansion in the Cotswolds, which they are currently renovating.

In 2020, Nick gifted Holly a £26 million superyacht, despite the mother-of-two suffering from seasickness.
