Buffy The Vampire Slayer

FORMER Neighbours starlet Holly Vallance is being lined up to take over the role of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The Aussie beauty is said to have been singled out by the show’s US makers as the ideal replacement for Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Sarah said no to a seventh year as the unlikely teenage vampire killer.

Ratings for the once-popular TV programme have dropped recently.

But producers believe Holly has just what it takes to inject new life into the cult series, which also stars heart- throb David Boreanaz as Angel.

Stunning Holly, 19, who played Flick Scully in Neighbours, went on to pop success and had a No1 hit with Kiss, Kiss last year.

She is now looking for a new acting role.

A source said: "Holly has been approached and is interested. She would be perfect for the role - she’s sexy and energetic.

"This would be a perfect way for her to break into Hollywood."

But Holly’s record company WEA London Records appeared in the dark over her new job.

A spokesman said: "We are waiting to hear from the people who make Buffy.

"I do not know anything about Holly taking over."
