Holly Valance Got A Big Piece of Sparkle

Holly Valance finally was spotted wearing her big piece of sparkle – her shining engagement when she attended a Radio Times party last night, together with her Strictly Come Dancing friends. She seemed in high spirit wearing festive gold dress and sequinned shoes, the 28-year-old was wearing a rather sizeable diamond on her left hand as she arrived at Claridge's Hotel. But missing out on the evening was her businessman fiancé Candy, 38, who proposed in the Maldives four weeks ago.

She did not wear any other bijou jewellery except for her diamond ring. Her engagement is a real big diamond rather than a crystal ring.

 

Valance was pictured in London last week without her ring on, but presumably it was getting resized. Billionaire property tycoon Candy asked Valance to marry him on the beach at the $3,000-a-night Reethi Rah resort in the Maldives a few days before Christmas. He had the words 'Will you marry me' written in fire as he got down on one knee. Uploading a photo of the intimate moment on her Twitter page, an excited Valance wrote: 'And I said YES!!! Happiest day of my life!!!!! Xxxx.'

And when she left the resort on January 3, she tweeted: 'Thank you so much Reethi Rah for the most perfect Engagement/Christmas/NYE EVER! They don't call you the "One & Only" 4 nothing! X C U soon!'

The couple started dating in late 2009 after meeting at a mutual friend's dinner party and moved in together in 2010. During Valance's recent appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, supportive Candy was often seen on screen cheering her on from the audience. Meanwhile, last night gave Valance had plenty of opportunity to show off her new jewellery to her fellow Strictly Come Dancing competitors Lulu, Alex Jones and Russell Grant.
