Holly Valance’s shock split from billionaire property tycoon Nick Candy is set to get messy, according to new reports.
It was revealed last week that the former Neighbours star, 42, had parted ways with her businessman husband, 52, after 13 years of marriage.
Now, friends close to the former pop star have claimed Valance has vowed to ‘take every penny’ from Candy, in what is shaping up to be an acrimonious split.
‘Holly is incredibly upset. Her main concern is, and always will be, for their two daughters,’ a source told The Sun this week.
‘But when it comes to the divorce, she’s made it clear she wants what she’s owed and will take Nick for every penny. She insists that she is the injured party in this.’

Holly, who is understood to have signed a pre-nuptial agreement before her lavish 2012 Beverly Hills wedding, stands to walk away with millions.
‘It’s been a very painful time for Holly and she has told friends that the split was not on her terms,’ they said.
‘Whatever the sum ends up being, it will be in the tens of millions of pounds.’
It comes after the former Neighbours star was spotted for the first time without her wedding ring.
Holly was seen last Saturday arriving solo from a flight at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 in west London without her sparkler.
The couple are parents to daughters Luka, 11, and Nova, seven, and friends say the pair’s priority has always been their daughters and will continue to be so during this very ‘difficult period’.
A source told MailOnline: ‘They have been living separate lives for a long time, he’s travelling a lot.
‘Nick has businesses in Dubai and London, The Reform Party.’

A family friend added to The Sun – who first reported the couple’s split: ‘The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority.
‘They’ve had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick’s intense work commitments, it’s been a tough balance.’
The estranged couple were last pictured together in March as they enjoyed a swanky lunch in London.
A spokesman for the couple said: ‘This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.’
They wed in 2012 in a lavish £3million (AUD$6.2 million) ceremony with guests including Sir Elton John, Simon Cowell, as well as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Together they have enjoyed a lavish lifestyle and previously lived in a two-storey Hyde Park penthouse worth £175million (AUD$364.4 million), making it Britain’s most expensive flat.
The pair later downsized to a £10million (AUD$20.8 million) countryside mansion in the Cotswolds, which they have been renovating.
In 2020, Mr Candy gifted his wife a £26million (AUD$54.1 million) superyacht, despite the mother-of-two having spoken in the past of suffering from sea sickness.

The businessman, who previously poured millions into Conservative coffers, became Reform UK leader Nigel Farage’s party treasurer earlier this year.
Both he and his former singer and actress wife have made little secret of their support for Mr Farage – and joined him and Donald Trump for dinner in 2022 at the current US President’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
She also hosted fundraisers for Reform and they were in the audience when Mr Farage returned as party leader last year.
Valance launched her acting career in 1999 and played Felicity Scully in Neighbours until 2002.
The Melbourne-born actress later moved to America and starred in several popular US movies and TV shows, including Taken, Entourage and Prison Break.
She also topped the UK singles chart in 2002 with Kiss Kiss, following it up with Down Boy which reached number two and State Of Mind which made eighth place.
She semi-retired from the acting industry in 2015, although she made a brief cameo on Neighbours in 2022.
Holly raised eyebrows last year after slamming Greta Thunberg as a ‘demonic little gremlin’ as she claimed Australia has become ‘too woke’ in a TV interview.
Holly criticised climate activist Thunberg to podcast host Christopher Hope, saying: ‘I don’t understand why you have this, like, demonic little gremlin high priestess of climatism as the goddess in classrooms, Greta.
‘All the kids are all coming home with depression and anxiety.’
