Kyle Sandilands defends Holly Valance after she called Greta Thunberg a ‘demonic little gremlin’ and accused Australia of being too ‘woke’

Kyle Sandilands has jumped to Holly Valance’s defense after the former Neighbors star accused Australia of being too ‘woke’.

On Monday morning’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, the shock jock, 52, agreed with the actress, saying Australia is “too woke.”

“The people in charge are all woke, so all their stupid rules are for the benefit of everyone.”

“Everyone needs to be taken care of,” he added sardonically.

The comments come after Holly Candy, known professionally as Holly Valance, took a stunning swipe at climate activist Greta Thunberg in an interview with GB News’ Chopper’s Political Podcast.

Valance, 40, a former pop star and Neighbors actress who recently rebranded herself as a conservative commentator, didn’t mince her words when she revealed her thoughts on Swedish-born Thunberg, 21.

The Australian star told podcast host Christopher Hope: “I don’t understand why you have this demonic little gremlin, high priestess of climatism, as the goddess in the classrooms, Greta (Thunberg).”

“All the kids all come home with depression and anxiety,” she said.

“Why would you go to your music class, do your homework, or get out of bed if you think we’ll all be dead in five years anyway?”

The mother of two also stated that she has no plans to move back to her Australian homeland, lamenting that the country is “waking up.”

‘The Australia I grew up in was surreal. It was so much fun and we didn’t seem to have all these problems… the woke thing has really become big in Australia,” she said.

Holly elaborated on the ‘woke culture’, pointing to ‘the things they learn in school’: ‘I don’t think sexuality and children should be in the same sentence. I don’t think anyone’s sexuality is anyone’s business. You don’t know anything about mine. I don’t know about you. Why should we?’

Valance, married to billionaire property developer Nick Candy, was born in Australia but has British citizenship through her British mother. She lives in London and the Cotswolds.

Holly also took the opportunity to attack ‘nanny state’ Victoria, explaining that she still gets fines every few months for not voting. The government will “fine you for breathing,” she joked.

She also firmly ruled out a return to Australia if Labor won the upcoming British election.

“The plan would be to stay and live what we love, which is here, I’m very patriotic for this place. My mother is from Southampton. My whole family is English,” she told the podcast.

‘I don’t want to go anywhere. And Nick doesn’t want to go anywhere. We prefer to be in our country.’

In 2012, Holly married Nick in Beverly Hills and they welcomed two daughters together in 2013 and 2017, Luka Violet Toni and Nova Skye Coco respectively.

The couple enjoy a lavish lifestyle and previously lived in a two-storey Hyde Park penthouse worth £175 million, making it Britain’s most expensive flat.

Nick and Holly have since downsized to a £10 million mansion in the Cotswolds, which they are currently renovating.

In 2020, Nick gifted Holly a £26 million superyacht, despite the mother-of-two suffering from seasickness.
