Former Neighbours actor Kate Keltie has been diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer at age 36.
The ex-actor appeared in the Australian soap between 1999 and 2004 as Holly Valance’s sister Michelle.
Keltie was recently given the alarming diagnoses of stage four cancer and told it has spread to her blood, hip bones and lymph nodes.
Since then, a GoFundMe page has been set up to raise money to cover living expenses during Keltie’s treatment.
“Our beautiful Kate is going through the unimaginable,” the statement on the page begins.
“This week the fight of her life begins as she starts chemotherapy.
“She will lose her gorgeous hair and cannot carry children in the future. This is devastating news for anyone, let alone at the age of 36, with no family history of breast cancer,” the statement on the page continues.
“Kate will then require chemo infusions every three weeks for the rest of her life,...

After airing what was thought to be its final episode earlier this year, Neighbours is set to make a shock return to screens in 2023.
The Australian soap was cancelled in February after Channel 5 decided to stop airing the show in the UK. When production company Fremantle was unable to find another channel to carry the programme, the show was cancelled altogether due to a lack of funding.
To mark the end of the programme, several notable actors from the show’s 36-year history returned to say goodbye, including Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Margot Robbie, Holly Valance and Guy Pearce.
The final episode drew in 2.5 million viewers – a significantly higher number than usual.
However, an announcement made on Thursday (17 November) has confirmed that the show has been picked up once again by Amazon Freevee, with new episodes to air next year.

Rianne Addo at Daily Mail gives a pretty good accounting of what’s happened to Holly Valance these days. If you don’t know all that much about her it could be that you didn’t follow her career like a lot of people or just didn’t get in on the 90s since back then she was still very popular. Once she started getting into the family life however things did start to slow down and she simply had to try and figure out how to be a mom like so many other women have done throughout history. Admittedly she had a hard

The violence, plot and gift choices of Taken 3 come under Ryan's FBI-grade trailer analysis...
We've learned quite a few things about retired CIA veteran Bryan Mills during the course of the previous two Taken movies: his skill with guns. His love for his wife and daughter. His ability to turn just about anything into a torture device. Our biggest take-away from the Taken franchise, though, is that Mills is a man of extraordinary emotional resilience.
In the first Taken, his daughter was kidnapped, so Mills did what any father would do: killed everyone in Paris until the daughter turned up again. In Taken 2, both he and his wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) are the ones who are kidnapped, leaving daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) to run around Istanbul throwing hand grenades off the roofs of buildings.
Eventually, Mills - thanks to the cunning use of a tiny, tiny mobile phone hidden...

It’s a well known fact that many of Hollywood’s Aussie actors have appear in the likes of Home and Away and Neighbours during their rise to the big leagues. Much like every British Actor has at some point cut their teeth on Eastenders, Coronation Street, Casualty or The Bill, it’s a rite of passage for all Aussie mega-stars to, at some point appear in one of the big two Channel 5 Aussie dramas. That said, on doing research for this article, it would appear that half the people in this list were actually born in the UK or Us, but we’ll push that aside for now and focus on their accents!

Style expert Brix Smith-Start is one of the starts of TLC's new fashionistas series Ultimate Shopper. Alongside host Holly Valance, Smith-Start will be selecting a winner from Britain's biggest style addicts and crowning the 'Ultimate Shopper'.
Ahead of the show's launch, Digital Spy caught up with Brix to get her verdict on the fashion sense of some of the world's most suave (and dodgy) looking stars.
Holly Valance
Holly has got really incredible taste. She's got amazing taste in handbags and shoes, for sure. What I really love about Holly is that she's able to wear anything, be it designer or high street, and look great. She's really tall and quite statuesque and, you know, she always looks good every time I see her. And I lust after her shoe collection - I do, and her handbags, like proper.
Rihanna
Rihanna actually is involved in fashion herself because she does the line for River Island.

Katy Perry's own marriage ended in divorce, but that didn't stop the "California Gurl" from belting out her chart-topping tunes at Australian actress Holly Valance's wedding to billionaire real estate mogul Nick Candy last weekend.
Perry was reportedly paid $1.9 million to play a 45-minute set at the wedding on September 29. The newlyweds are former neighbors of Perry's, and her performance accounted for nearly half of the wedding's reported $4.7 million total cost.

Apparently in-between being abducted and almost sold into slavery at the beginning of the first movie and getting singing lessons from Holly Valance at the end, Maggie Grace’s Kim character also picked up some wicked driving skills that are now coming to good use in a new clip from “Taken 2″. Check out Kim and dad (that would be Liam Neeson) evading bad guys and trucks. Between this clip and the previous one (also below) that had Kim handling grenades, I guess it’s true that Maggie Grace has definitely gotten an upgrade in terms of kick-ass for the sequel. Liam Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent with a “particular set of skills” who stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim from kidnappers. When the father of one of the villains Bryan killed swears revenge, and takes Bryan and his wife hostage in Istanbul, Bryan...

Before we start, let’s get one thing straight. Ed Vallance is nothing to do with Holly Valance. (Note the lack of two L’s in Valance.) He isn’t Australian, isn’t related to her in any way and thank God, has never appeared in Neighbours. Sadly, he’s also never had a number-one, unlike Ms. Valance who somehow managed to get an international number-one with that hideously catchy single Kiss Kiss. So, sorry guys, but if you thought this was a review of Holly Valance’s brother or something then you’re going to be disappointed – but you may have just stumbled across your new favourite artist so stick around.
