Nigel Farage to attend Donald Trump fundraiser hosted by noughties popstar turned Reform UK poster girl Holly Valance as battle for US presidency targets Britain's elite
Nigel Farage is to attend a fundraiser for Donald Trump in London tonight hosted by former popstar and Neighbours actress Holly Valance - as the US presidency battle targets Britain's elite.
Reform UK leader Farage will take a break from the election trail to attend the event, which is expected to take place at a private residence in the exclusive areas of either Chelsea or Knightsbridge.
They will be joined by around 100 guests, including a number of American Republicans - some of whom were part of Trump's White House between 2017 and 2021.
The fundraiser, which has already clocked up $2million (£1.57million) in donations, is being billed as a reception and dinner with the former president's son, Donald Trump Jr, and his fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, a lawyer and former Fox News host.
While Trump is busy on the presidential election campaign across the pond, The Guardian reports that he may make a virtual appearance or send a recorded video message similar to the one played at Farage's 60th birthday in April.

Invites to the fundraiser list a variety of categories which guests can make donations under, such as 'host committee' ($100,000 a couple) and dinner ($50,000). Just to attend costs $10,000, while a photo opportunity is $25,000.
Trump Jnr is looking to target wealthy Americans in London for campaign donations as they try to close a big funding gap opened by Biden in the race for the White House.
It comes after his father became the first former president in US history to be criminally tried and convicted last month when he was found to have falsified money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
'After the bogus conviction of my father, we have seen an explosion in financial support from American citizens across the globe, who are rejecting Joe Biden's attempt to use the courts to interfere in the presidential election.
'I'm excited to see my friends in London who are all ready to Make America Great Again this November,' Trump Jnr said in a statement.
The Financial Times reports that Biden's campaign will hold a rival fundraiser in London on the same day, hosted by Anna Wintour, the British-born editor of US Vogue.
Wintour, who also endorsed Biden during his 2020 campaign, hosted another fundraiser for the US president during Paris Fashion Week in March.
Neighbours star Valance, who last week claimed she convinced Farage to stand to be an MP in July's general election, qualifies to make donations to Trump as a US green card holder.
The 41-year-old and her billionaire property tycoon husband Nick Candy have been publicly associated with Trump and Farage since at least April 2022, when the now-Reform leader shared a photo of the group following a dinner at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach.

The former actress and pop star said she talked Farage around after he initially decided against running - before he announced that he would stand in Clacton, Essex.
Valance said she had been 'whispering in [Farage's] ear for a long time, saying, 'Come on, pull your finger out, give the people what they want'.'
There were also rumours Valance herself was going to run as a candidate for Reform and before that, as a Tory candidate in the London mayoral elections.
Other hosts at tonight's Trump fundraiser include New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, who was Trump's ambassador to the UK, George Glass, his ambassador to Portugal, and Duke Buchan, his ambassador to Spain.
Richard Grenell - former acting director of US national intelligence who serves as US ambassador to Germany - is also due to attend - as is Scott Bessent, who has been touted as a possible treasury secretary.
