Olympia Valance has revealed the eye-watering price she once paid for a marble coffee table as she tries to sell it after becoming a mother.
The Neighbours star, 32, took to Instagram on Friday to share photos of the sleek Boffi Italian piece, admitting she splashed out a staggering $4,230 on it back in 2023.
But the Melbourne-born actress explained that the stylish centrepiece has become a safety hazard since welcoming her son Billy with her husband, former AFL star Tom Bellchambers, in December.
‘I’m selling my favourite piece of furniture, my solid marble coffee table. Apparently babies + sharp corners = a survival show I didn’t sign up for,’ Olympia told fans.
‘Billy’s tried to chin slam it more times than I can count.’
Olympia then confessed she had splurged on the high-end table when she was in a more carefree stage of life.

‘Bought it at Coco Republic when I was cashed up, carefree and thought a marble coffee table was a personality trait,’ she told fans.
‘Original price tag was ridiculous.’
She then invited interested buyers to message her with an offer.
Olympia and her former Essendon star husband welcomed their son Billy in December.
At the time, she took to Instagram to confirm she had welcomed a baby boy.
She shared an adorable black-and-white photograph of her newborn son and confirmed his sweet name as Billy Bellchambers.
The actress announced her joyous pregnancy news in an Instagram post in August last year, while candidly opening up about her fertility struggles before her ‘miracle baby’ came along.
In photos shared to her social media account, Tom cradled Olympia’s growing baby bump as she held a positive pregnancy test.

‘I’ve been hiding away for the past 5 and a half months to make sure this wasn’t all a dream,’ she began in her caption.
‘But you kept growing and growing and it’s starting to look like our dreams have finally come true.’
‘I’ve been as open and honest as I could about our struggles with infertility and I truly believed this day wasn’t going to be possible for us.
‘So when I saw this positive pregnancy test I have to admit, at the time, I wasn’t jumping for joy.’
‘I was full of fear because that’s all I’ve known. But as the weeks kept going by it was hard to wipe the smile off our faces.’
She noted her excitement at starting a family while thanking their supporters who stood by them during their ‘darkest days’.
Olympia, who rose to fame when she joined Neighbours as Paige Smith in 2014, got engaged to Tom in October 2021.
The couple finally tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in June 2022 as the pair exchanged vows in front of 250 family and friends in Daylesford, Victoria.
They began dating in June 2019 after Olympia met him on the ultra-exclusive celebrity dating app, Raya.
