HOLLY VALANCE - HOLLY VALANCE BACKS OUT OF AWARDS SHOW

Sexy pop star HOLLY VALANCE pulled out of presenting an award at a glitzy British bash - because movie hunk ORLANDO BLOOM could not attend.

The KISS KISS singer was to present the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL star with the Best Film Actor gong at the GQ magazine event in London on Tuesday night (02SEP03).

But Holly withdrew from the ceremony after learning Orlando couldn't make it because of filming commitments with BRAD PITT on the set of TROY.

An insider says, "Holly was told he wasn't going to be there and she didn't want to present an award to someone who couldn't make it.

"She was offered two other categories but decided against attending the event."
