Holden is already under fire after he was proposed as the only candidate for the Essex seat.
Party rules say candidates can be imposed on seats if it is 48 hours before the close of nominations.
Valance, married to property millionaire Nick Candy, has emerged as a darling of the Right after she spoke to GB News about her political beliefs at a Popular Conservativism rally in February.
She attended Monday's surprise announcement by Nigel Farage to take over as Reform leader and stand in the Tory-held seat of Clacton.
On Monday she told GB News that she would help Farage by knocking on doors "if asked".
It now seems that she might go one step further and stand to be a MP.
