Early Career

In Melbourne, her father operated a clothing store in Melbourne and would sometimes use photos of Holly to promote the clothes in store billboards and posters. As she became quite beautiful as a teenager, Holly began appearing in supermarket catalogs and other local ad campaigns. She even posed for a line of lingerie that was targeted at teenagers.

At 16, Holly was cast in the long-running Australian soap opera "Neighbours" as Felicity "Flick" Scully. She went on to appear in 330 episodes of the show between 1999 and 2002, with a reappearance in 2005.

When she was 17, she landed a role in the music video for the song "He Don't Love You" by Human Nature:

Music Career

Around this time, Holly also began releasing her own music, starting with the 2002 single "Kiss Kiss," which charted moderately well in Australia. The song actually reached #1 in Macedonia.

Her debut full-length studio album, "Footprints," was released in October 2002. The album reached #15 in Australia and #9 in the UK.

Her second album, "State of Mind," was released in November 2003. This album's title track peaked at #14 in Australia and #8 in the UK, but the album itself was not a major hit on global charts.

A year later, her recording contract with Warner Music expired, and both sides agreed mutually to walk away. Holly has since retired from music.

Personal Life

In September 2012, Holly Valance married British billionaire real estate developer Nick Candy. Holly and Nick live in a luxurious penthouse apartment in the most exclusive building in the world, London's One Hyde Park (which Nick developed). They have two children together. Holly and Nick separated in June 2025 after 13 years of marriage.

Real Estate

During their marriage, Valance and Candy assembled an extensive portfolio of luxury properties. Their holdings included a penthouse in One Hyde Park, widely considered one of the most exclusive residential buildings in the world, as well as estates in Chelsea, the Cotswolds, and Los Angeles.

One of their most notable U.S. properties was "The Reserve," a sprawling Holmby Hills estate in Los Angeles. Originally purchased through Candy family transactions, the property underwent significant expansion and renovation, including the addition of a massive guest house. The combined estate spans roughly 21,000 square feet, with luxury amenities, a long private driveway, and extensive grounds. The property was listed for sale in 2022 for $85 million.

Record-Breaking London Mansion

In March 2026, Valance and Candy's former marital home in London's Chelsea district sold for more than £270 million, approximately $350 million, setting a new record for the most expensive private home ever sold.

The estate sits on a rare two-acre parcel in one of London's most exclusive neighborhoods. The property was designed to resemble a grand country estate within the city, featuring landscaped grounds, a private lake, and a swimming pool, along with interiors that incorporate preserved Georgian architectural elements.

Despite never being formally listed on the open market, the home attracted multiple offers from ultra-high-net-worth buyers, highlighting continued demand for trophy properties at the very top of the global real estate market.

The record-breaking sale not only marked a historic transaction but also underscored the scale of the real estate empire Valance shared during her marriage, placing the property among the most valuable private residences ever owned and sold.
