Valance: Greta’s a demon gremlin

Holly Candy (nee Valance) has taken aim at Greta Thunberg, branding the 21-year-old climate activist a “demonic little gremlin” in an extraordinary new interview.

The notoriously private Aussie star (pictured), who became a household name after landing the role of Felicity Scully on Neighbours in 1999 and briefly launching a pop career, delivered her blistering assessment on GB News’ Chopper’s Political Podcast.

“I don’t understand why you have this, like, demonic little gremlin high priestess of climatism as the goddess in classrooms, Greta (Thunberg),” Candy, 40, told host Christopher Hope.

“All the kids are all coming home with depression and anxiety. Why would you go to your music lesson or bother doing your homework or get out of your bed if you think we’re all going to be dead in five years anyway?”

The former actor and singer has lived in the UK for more than a decade, and has largely shunned the spotlight since marrying her British husband, billionaire property developer Nick Candy, with whom she now shares two children.

During the wide-ranging new interview, Candy also hit out at her homeland, claiming it was plagued with “problems” as a result of the increasing “woke stuff”.

“The Australia I grew up in was unreal,” she said. “It was so fun and we didn’t seem to have all these problems.

“The woke stuff’s really gone big in Australia.”

Elaborating on the “woke culture”, Candy pointed vaguely to “the stuff they’re teaching 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 about mine. I don’t know about yours. Why would we?”

Candy then specifically targeted “nanny state” Victoria, telling the host she was “still getting fines every few months for not voting”.
