Nick Candy: Last News

Holly Valance has come a long way from her days on Ramsay Street.The former Neighbours star decided to step away from the limelight over a decade ago. After falling in love with her British husband, Holly made the move to the UK permanently. Pop star Holly first met Nick Candy at a dinner party and was instantly smitten, despite not knowing who he was.

Neighbours star Holly Valance has shaken up her look as she was spotted in London emerging from the incredibly swanky Dorchester Hotel with her husband Nick Candy. The 40 year old star, who shot to fame in the singles charts with the release of her ultra catchy hit song Kiss Kiss, spent years donning skimpy outfits and rocking long blonde hair after leaving the soap world. At one stage, she opted for a side parting fringe, but was more likely known for her defining money piece highlights.

One of Britain's richest men, who used to own Sale Sharks and Stockport County, has snapped up a £37m stake in Manchester-headquartered online retail and software giant THG.

NEIGHBOURS legend Holly Valance is thought to be among those throwing support behind Kate Keltie after it was revealed she is battling cancer.

One of the richest men in Manchester is set to complete the donation of millions of pounds to charitable causes in the city.

A £2.07bn bid to takeover online retail and software giant THG has been abandoned by the two investment companies behind it.

Chelsea was “disappointing” but believes Roman Abramovich’s asking price is “so enormous” that the successful party will face “a huge challenge” with the club. Johnson was one of several interested parties to be told last week that they had not been shortlisted to proceed to the next stage of the bidding process. The 74-year-old American billionaire, who co-owns the New York Jets, offered £2billion for the Blues, according to The Sun.

Chelsea owner Nick Candy once claimed she'd consider doing a Playboy shoot.Candy, who is worth a whopping £1.5billion, is one of several parties interested in purchasing the Blues. The property developer was dealt a significant blow last week after it emerged his bid for the club had not been shortlisted. But he has not given up hope just yet and spent Friday discussing the possibility of joining another bid.

Chelsea buyer Nick Candy has slammed the state of Stamford Bridge, insisting that one of his top priorities as owner would be to move the club to a better stadium - even if it meant relocating the team for a number of years.The British property tycoon, who tabled a £2.5 billion bid for his boyhood club through his Blue Football Consortium on Friday, said Chelsea's ground was "basically s***" and that it needed to be rebuilt from scratch before it could be deemed "fit for purpose".He compared it to Tottenham's new state-of-the-art stadium, which he described as the best in world football, as well as Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. And Candy insisted that Chelsea might have to follow rivals Spurs' lead by playing at Wembley for a period while Stamford Bridge is redeveloped."The stadium is not fit for purpose in the 21st century.

Chelsea could still be sold should Roman Abramovich hand control of the process to UK Government officials - and there is still interest in the west London outfit.Abramovich was one of seven Russian oligarchs to have their assets frozen by the government on Thursday (March 10) morning, which means that his plans to sell the club are currently blocked.However, the sale could still go ahead during this period should he stand to make no financial gain from the deal - having previously promised to donate the net profits.The Russian would have to apply for a special licence to sell the club now, declaring that he will not benefit from the sale.It has now been reported that there is still plenty of interest in taking control of the club despite the current uncertainty at Stamford Bridge.The Telegraph report that prospective buyers have not been put off by the latest update, meaning a deal worth in the region of £2billion could go ahead.Their report adds that 'special dispensation' will be given if the sale of Chelsea is seen in the best interests of the football club.Will Thomas Tuchel be Chelsea manager next season?

Chelsea up for sale but there are already at least 10 parties who have reportedly declared an interest in taking over.One such would-be owner is Nick Candy, a British property tycoon who's been a Blues fan all his life.It's understood that Candy is working on a £2.5billion bid for the London club and is in talks with a number of potential investors to form a consortium.The 49-year-old's bid is still short of the £3billion asking price Abramovich has set, but his prior allegiance to Chelsea could end up swaying the Russian, who wants to sell the club to someone he knows will look after it, rather than to the highest bidder."We are looking at what the art of possible is," Candy told The Telegraph on Wednesday, while a spokesperson for the tycoon insisted that delivering Chelsea's new stadium would be one of his top priorities, especially given his background in real estate.Candy, together with his brother Christian, began renovating small London flats in the 1990s before gradually working his way up the property ladder.By the turn of the millennium, he was selling luxury apartments for nine-figure sums and was soon listing the world's most expensive flat - which sold for £140million in 2014.CHELSEA FANS!
