Holly Candy is five months pregnant with her first child with billionaire husband Nick

Holly Candy is expecting her first child with her billionaire husband Nick, it has been revealed.
Details of the former Neighbours star's pregnancy emerged when she launched a court case in an attempt to stop Australia's Woman's Day magazine from publishing pictures taken of her which clearly revealed the baby news.
The images are said to have been taken of the 30-year-old actress as she holidayed on the Italian Riviera last month.

Holly sought an injunction when she discovered the images had been sold to the magazine by a London photo agency, and attempted to prevent them from being used.
Lawyers employed by the expectant parents then got involved, with the photo agency issuing a retraction.
However, Woman's Day magazine proceeded to print the pictures, with 27,870 copies of the magazine sent out to subscribers when it was printed on Friday.

Justice Michael Pembroke said in his ruling that due to the publication of the magazine, it was impossible to then get the injunction.
He said: 'If the objective of the plaintiff is to protect her own opportunity to reveal the fact of her pregnancy at a time of her choosing, then that opportunity has been lost by the events which have occurred.
'There is no point in restraining the defendant from further distributing copies that remain as part of the print run for this issue.'
Justice Pembroke added in his judgement: 'I make it quite clear that the conduct of the defendant is disdainful. It clearly puts a premium on its own commercial advantage ahead of the privacy of the plaintiff.'

In an interview with You magazine in May, when Holly would have already been three months pregnant, she said she was desperate to have a family.
She said: 'We will have a family, God willing, and when it happens I just want to be a mum. The biggest luxury on the planet to me would be to be at home with my child.
'Finally at 30 I am coming round to the idea of babies and Nick, at 40, is well and truly ready. I think he might just get his way. I can see it now: I will be the bad cop – the strict one – and he will be the fabulous, fun dad!'
Holly's pregnancy news comes just ten months after the actress wed property developer Nick in an extravagant ceremony.
The pair are said to have paid out a staggering £3million for their fairytale ceremony.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Holly about the pregnancy news.
