Holly Valance Urges Australians to Support Hanson

has demanded Australians stop being 'embarrassed' about being patriotic, as she marched alongside far-right figure in London on Saturday.

The Neighbours star was stopped for an interview at the Unite the Kingdom rally Robinson organised at the same time as a rival pro-Palestinian demonstration.

Valance, 43, who holds dual citizenship for Australia and the UK, gave a passionate plea to her fellow Aussies, asking them to 'stand up for your country', according to Adelaide Now. 

'Don't be embarrassed and don't be too scared to stand up for your country that's given you everything, that's given you freedom, that's given you the great life that you have,' she told the publication. 

'Respect it, respect the culture, respect the flag, don't be embarrassed to fly the flag, be patriotic, stand in that and don't let anybody tell you you're a racist for doing so. That's disgusting and treacherous and treasonous that they would.'

Valance went on to admit she is 'absolutely right-wing' and had no qualms about being called 'far right'. 

She also doubled down on her support for One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, saying she was an 'amazing, Australian' and said she was glad to see her popularity rising in Australia.

'The support behind people like Pauline Hanson is growing day by day and people are talking to me online, saying, "Yes, we love her,"' she said.

Valance went on to say things would be 'different' if people had 'listened' to Hanson, 71, in the late '90s.  

'Hindsight is an amazing thing and she was on to something then and we all laughed at her, me included. I remember being a child and watching her and being told she's the crazy lady. Not so crazy now.'

Valance attended the Unite the Kingdom rally with her new partner, former soldier Grant Gale, who acted as her family's bodyguard before she split from British property tycoon Nick Candy. 

The former Neighbours star first shot to fame in the late '90s when she played Flick Scully on the soap series, before going on to land various TV roles and release her own music.  

However, the former pop star has since entered a new chapter of her life following her divorce from her billionaire husband, splitting from Candy, 53, in June last year after 13 years of marriage.  

A source told Daily Mail at the time: '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.'
