She’s only in her mid-20s but we feel like we’ve known FHM-fave Holly Valance forever, thanks to three years in Neighbours, a pop career that briefly threatened to make her a megastar, and a bunch of film and TV roles that have kept us interested in the Aussie beauty in a way that none of her former soap stars have quite managed (sorry, Kylie).

Our favourite Valance role was Christie Allen in a film called DOA. One scene in particular stands out, where a towel-clad Holly manages to disarm four blokes, slo-mo style, while her bra is flying through the air. A fan of kickboxing who “likes a good bar-brawl”, she also loves fast cars and has a BMW X5 parked on the driveway of her West Hollywood home. Better still, she recently took a Porsche 911 out for a test drive…
