It’s clear from the turnout at Donald Trump’s campaign rallies that he has a wide base of support across the U.S.
But an upcoming fundraiser in the U.K. emphasized the fact that Trump supporters are also active and engaged around the world.
Actress Holly Valance, known for her role in the Australian soap opera “Neighbors” and the hit song “Kiss Kiss,” is bucking the entertainment industry’s far-left reputation in order to help boost Trump’s bid for a second term in the White House.
As the Daily Mail reported:
The former Neighbours actress, 41, is reportedly set to host an exclusive Trump election fundraiser in London on June 7, with tickets costing a whopping $100,000 per couple to attend.
According to The Sunday Times, Holly’s name on the hosting list will help to attract some of London’s most elite and wealthy conservative party supporters.
‘It’s a Holly party, so you can guarantee it’s going to be enormous fun,’ conservative British politician Nigel Farage told the publication.
It was Nigel who introduced Holly to her British property tycoon and Conservative Party donor husband Nick.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Valance has spoken out in favor of conservative values and Trump in particular.
She’s a friend of Trump and the Tories, while her forthright views have made her a star guest at right-wing fundraisers on both sides of the Atlantic. But Holly Valance insists wasn’t even trying to be edgy: https://t.co/UvfZJ17y7B pic.twitter.com/R58srt3pz7

Like pro-Trump celebrities in the States, Valance’s political views have cost her fans and reportedly even fueled a rift within her own family.
Acording to MSN:
Olympia, who once followed in her sibling’s footprints by landing a role on Neighbours, appeared on HIT WA’s Allan & Carly to clarify that she isn’t a follower of Holly’s right-wing views.
Olympia told hosts Carly Portch and Allan Aldworth that Holly ‘rarely’ returns to Australia since she based herself in the UK.
‘My sister and I have very, very different political views,’ the Summit star insisted when she was asked about Holly’s controversial podcast interview.
Here’s a clip of her remarks about Trump from an interview earlier this year:
