Former Neighbours Star Natasha Valance Hosts Fundraisers for Trump and Biden in London
Former Neighbours star Natasha Valance recently took center stage in the political fundraising scene in London, hosting competing events for Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democrat candidate Joe Biden. The events, held in West London, were managed by high-profile figures including fashion icon and Vogue Editor-in-Chief Sharon Manitta for the Democrats Abroad faction.
The fundraiser for Donald Trump boasted ticket prices ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 and saw the attendance of notable figures such as Donald Junior and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Trump was expected to make a virtual appearance through Zoom, adding a digital twist to the in-person gathering.
Valance, known for her role as Felicity Scully in the Australian soap opera Neighbours and her hit single ‘Kiss Kiss‘, has emerged as a significant supporter of Farage’s Reform UK party. Her involvement in the fundraisers underscores the intersection of entertainment and politics, as she navigates the spheres of influence within the political landscape.
On the other side, Joe Biden’s fundraiser, masterminded by Vogue’s Wintour, offered tickets at $1,000 each, attracting a different demographic of donors. While details of the event remain relatively scarce, Wintour’s long-standing allegiance to the Democratic party suggests a sophisticated and well-attended affair in support of Biden’s campaign.
