Neighbours star Kym Valentine speaks for the first time about her life-threatening illness, divorce, and the truth about her and TV hunk Vince Colosimo.
No-one could ever accuse Neighbours‘ Libby Kennedy of lacking drama in her life. But until a year ago there wasn’t a breath of scandal attached to the actress who played her.
Kym Valentine was the show’s golden girl — a disciplined, hard-working mum to beautiful little five-year-old daughter Millana Valentine-Tolli, wife of singer-songwriter Fabio Tolli and star of the stage musical Dirty Dancing.
Then, in a matter of months, her seemingly picture-perfect existence fell apart.
First came the end of her five-year marriage to Fabio. Then, a few months later, rumours alleging a love affair between her and Underbelly star Vince Colosimo — who’d recently separated from Kym’s Neighbours co-star Jane Hall — spread like wildfire. Stressed and at her wits’ end, Kym then fell gravely ill with pneumonia, forcing her to take a month off work to recover.
