‘Neighbours’ actress Olympia Valance lands on top 10 of Maxim’s ‘Hot 100’ 2016
Australian model and actress Olympia Valance turns the heat up not just on the small screens but on a men’s magazine as well.
The 23-year-old brunette beauty, popularly known for her role as Paige Smith in the soap opera “Neighbours,” ranked seventh in this year’s Maxim’s “Hot 100.” “Suicide Squad” actress Margot Robbie topped the “eclectic list of the most gifted and gorgeous Australian women who have impressed — and undressed — this year.” The annual countdown also included “The Wrong Girl” star Jessica Marais and “The Voice Australia” judge Delta Goodrem. Jennifer Hawkins, Renee Somerfield, Miranda Kerr, The Veronica’s and Ruby Rose rounded up the top ten.
Australian wildlife warrior and “Dancing With the Stars” winner Bindi Irwin, who just turned 18 in July, followed Paige at eighth place. [READ: “Fans commend Bindi Irwin’s priceless reaction after landing in the top 10 of Maxim's 'Hot 100'”]
“Words can't describe how honoured I am to have been named in the top 10 with this issue of Maxim's 'Hot 100',” Bindi wrote on her Instagram. “My goal in life is to empower each and every person around the world to embrace themselves inside and out. Beauty is not just found on the outside, it's the kindness you share with others and the positivity you embrace every day. If your core values revolve around love and light, you are a beautiful person.”
Olympia, on the other hand, had less to say. “Thanks @maxim_aus. I guess now I’m officially a 7/10.
In Maxim’s feature, Paige proved why she made the list, wearing matching nude-coloured underwear. The magazine put a brief description alongside her photo: “The 23-year-old Neighbours star continues to heat up Ramsay Street as the fiesty Paige Smith, whose latest drama has seen her falling for a hunky Catholic priest! The younger sister of the Aussie soap’s royalty, Holly, Olympia has also done campaigns for both UK lingerie brand Gossard and Cherry Ripe. Perfect combo!”
