EX-Neighbours star Holly Valance has praised activist Tommy Robinson after his protest saw 110,000 demonstrators descend on London.
Holly, 42, was pictured with former EDL-leader Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, at his “Unite the Kingdom” rally on Saturday.

Surging crowds marched to Whitehall, central London, with the numbers far exceeding what the police had been expecting.
While the vast majority of protesters were peaceful, police made 25 arrests after cops were punched, kick and targeted with projectiles.
Dozens of Robinson’s pals spoke at the rally last weekend, including Ant Middleton, Laurence Fox and Katie Hopkins.
Speaking on the protests last weekend, Holly – a firm supporter of Reform UK – hailed the march as Robinson’s “redemption”.
She told News Corp Australia: “I’m very proud and pleased for Tommy, this is his redemption. Finally.
“How the man screaming from the rooftops about the rape of white British girls was framed as ‘the bad guy’ is going to be a case study.
“How weak and immoral we have become. Our silence is immoral. On Saturday the lions came out.”
Elon Musk even appeared via video link as he congratulated Robinson for “putting together an amazing event”.
Robinson posted on X claiming millions attended the march, but cops said the real number sat somewhere in between 110,000 to 150,000.
He said: “We came, we saw, we conquered. Millions hit central London in a show of patriotic unity like nothing seen before.
“A cultural revolution has begun. The future belongs to us.”
Aussie singer Holly has also been a visible presence in political circles and is credited with encouraging Farage’s return to frontline politics.
Holly’s estranged husband Nick Candy left the Conservative Party last year and was appointed Reform’s treasurer in December.
The billionaire pledged to raise tens of millions for leader Nigel Farage — including donating a seven-figure sum himself.
In 2022, she visited Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate with Farage and Nick attended Boris Johnson’s wedding celebration in 2021.
More than 1,600 cops were deployed in the capital on Saturday, with the Met calling in hundreds of officers from across the country.
The force confirmed 26 riot officers were injured after groups started attacking officers during ugly scenes.
A statement from the Met said: “When officers intervened to block their path they were assaulted with kicks and punches.
“Bottles, flares and other projectiles were also thrown and concerted attempts to get past barriers were made.”
Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said that 25 protesters had been arrested, with more expected in the coming days.
He added: “Officers went into today’s operation knowing it would be busy and potentially challenging.
“There is no doubt that many came to exercise their lawful right to protest, but there were many who came intent on violence.
“They confronted officers, engaging in physical and verbal abuse and making a determined effort to breach cordons.
“The violence they faced was wholly unacceptable. 26 officers were injured, including four seriously…
“…among them broken teeth, a possible broken nose, a concussion, a prolapsed disc and a head injury.
“The 25 arrests we have made so far is just the start. Our post-event investigation has already begun.”

Cops had been stretched to the limit as MPs Diane Abbott and Zarah Sultana held a counter-protest against the march at the same time.
London was also overwhelmed by football supporters with five Premier League games taking place across the day.
Holly was last spotted with her estranged husband Nick, both linked to the rise of Reform, at an event in London in March.
It comes as The Sun revealed he had struck up a romance with a younger lookalike of his estranged wife.
The Reform UK treasurer, 52, was spotted smooching with 33-year-old Swedish socialite Camilla at an airport.
An onlooker said he and the stunning candle business founder appeared to be “inseparable”.
His new relationship follows our exclusive in June, when we revealed how Nick and Aussie singer Holly were divorcing after 13 years.
