The couple already have three-year-old daughter Luka Violet Toni Candy together.

Shortly after welcoming Luka in November 2013, Candy described his wife, and former Neighbours actress, as the “perfect mother”.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph he said: “Holly is a perfect mother. It was a natural birth.

“We have decided to call her Luka Violet Toni Candy. Her nickname will be LuLu, but, if she ever goes into business, LuLu Candy doesn't quite work!”

Valance met property tycoon Candy in 2009 after meeting at a mutual friend's party.

They tied the knot in September 2012 in Beverley Hills, California.
