SAMANTHA Fox was the dream girl of the 80s, famed for flaunting her fabulous curves on Page 3.
But what has Fox gotten up to since her glamour modelling days?
Samantha Karen Fox was born on 15 April 1966, making her 54-years-old.
She is from Mile End, East London and is the eldest daughter of actress Carole Ann Wilken and John Patrick Fox.
She comes from a family of market traders.
First appearing on The Sun’s Page 3, Fox retired from modelling aged 20 to pursue a career in the music industry.
Sam has since become a regular face on reality TV, such as her stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Sam is estimated to be worth a whopping $20 million (which is just over £16 million).
She hit the big time in 1983 when she began appearing as a topless model on Page 3 of the Sun.
She continued as a Page 3 girl until 1986, and during this time, she became the most popular pin-up girl of her era.
Chart success followed after her modelling days, and she launched her music career starting with the 1986 release, Touch Me (I Want Your Body).
The song reached the top of the charts in 17 countries and she has sold more than 30 million records throughout the world.
Sam has appeared in an array of reality TV shows such as Celebrity Wife Swap, Come Dine With Me, I’m a Celebrity.
She has also continued her singing career. Her most recent song was released in 2018, called ‘Hot Boy’.
Fox sometimes posts vlogs on her YouTube channel SamanthaFoxOfficial, where she films behind the scenes of her various music tours.
Fox has also volunteered for various animal charities.
Sam has been dating Norweigan mum-of-two Linda Olsen since 2016.
In March 2020, Sam revealed that the pair had been planning a romantic summer wedding in Essex – but have been forced to put their special day on hold because of the coronavirus crisis.
A close friend to Sam revealed: “Sam and Linda are so happy together and want to spend the rest of their lives together. They’re so in love and want to make it official.”
After a string of relationships with men, Samantha came out as a lesbian.
She was in a long-term relationship with her partner of 16 years Myra Stratton.
Speaking of the relationship to her manager, Sam said: “People say I’m gay….I don’t know what I am. All I know is that I’m in love with Myra.
“I love her completely and want to spend the rest of my life with her.”
However, Myra sadly lost her battle to cancer in 2015.
She later admitted that she feared identifying herself as a lesbian due to worries she’d lose fans.
