Samantha Karen Fox (born 15 April 1966)[1] is an English pop singer and former glamour model from Crouch End in North London. She has also appeared on reality television shows and has occasionally worked as a television presenter and actress.

Fox rose to fame as a Page 3 model in The Sun tabloid newspaper, where she appeared regularly from 1983 until 1986, becoming one of the most photographed British women of the 1980s and a prominent sex symbol of the era. She left Page 3 in 1986 to focus on her singing career. Released in March of that year, her debut single for the Jive Records label, "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)", became a top-10 hit across Europe, North America, and Australia, reaching number one in several countries.

She released her debut studio album Touch Me in July 1986, and followed it with the studio albums Samantha Fox in 1987 and I Wanna Have Some Fun in 1988, each of which produced international hit singles. At the Brit Awards 1988, she was nominated in the British Female Solo Artist category.[3] Fox's subsequent studio albums Just One Night (1991), 21st Century Fox (1997), and Angel with an Attitude (2005) were less commercially successful, but she has continued to tour and has announced a forthcoming seventh studio album, produced by Ian Masterson.[4]

Following rumours about her sexual orientation, Fox came out as a lesbian in 2003. She was in a long-term relationship with her former manager Myra Stratton from 2003 until the latter's death in 2015. She became engaged to Linda Birgitte Olsen in 2020 and the couple married in 2022.

Early life

[edit]

Fox was born on 15 April 1966, the eldest child of John Patrick Fox, a builder, and Carole Ann Wilken, an actress and former dancer on the 1960s pop music programme Ready, Steady, Go![5][6] She grew up in Crouch End in North London, later describing her background as "a working-class market-trader family".[7] She had one sibling, a younger sister Vanessa, who died in 2023 at age 50.[8][9]

Fox took an interest in the theatre from an early age, attending the Anna Scher Theatre School from age five, and subsequently attending Mountview Theatre School.[10] She also attended St Thomas More Catholic School, Wood Green.[11] She formed her first pop band when she was 14 and signed her first record deal with Lamborghini Records at age 15.[12]

Career

[edit]

Modelling

[edit]

Fox's glamour modelling career began at age 16 when her mother took photographs of her wearing lingerie and submitted them to The Sunday People's "Face and Shape of '83" amateur modelling contest. After Fox placed second in the contest, a photographer for The Sun invited her to pose topless for Page 3; at the time, she was the youngest person to model topless for the feature.[11][5][13] British publications could then legally feature topless models aged 16 and older, although the minimum age was raised to 18 in May 2004.[14]

Fox later said she was grateful for the opportunity to break into glamour modelling, since many people in her area were unemployed or had "rough, low-paying jobs”. She had previously considered joining the police force, but at 155 centimetres (5 feet 1 inch) tall she did not meet the height requirement then in place of 163 centimetres (5 feet 4 inches) for female officers.[7] Having become comfortable with sunbathing topless on European beaches, she later said that she did not consider modeling semi-nude a "big deal".[15]

Fox's first Page 3 photograph appeared in The Sun on 22 February 1983, under the headline "Sam, 16, Quits A-Levels for Ooh-Levels".[16][14] She signed a four-year modelling contract with The Sun and was named "Page 3 Girl of the Year" for three consecutive years from 1984 to 1986.[17][18] She also made modelling appearances in multiple men's magazines. During her glamour modelling career, she insured her breasts for £1 million, inspired by Betty Grable insuring her legs for $1 million.[19] In 1985, she appeared in a David Cassidy music video and modelled for an accompanying photoshoot, but she later claimed that Cassidy had sexually assaulted her during the shoot and again afterwards in the toilets of a restaurant.[20]

Fox left Page 3 in 1986, aged 20, to focus on her singing career. She made occasional glamour modelling appearances later in her career, including a nude photoshoot for the October 1996 issue of Playboy magazine when she was aged 30.[21] She is recognised today as the most popular pin-up girl of her era, as well as one of the most photographed British women of the 1980s, alongside Diana, Princess of Wales, and Margaret Thatcher.[22][7]

Singing

[edit]

Fox attempted to launch a music career in 1983. Her first single, credited to S.F.X., was a cover version of the 1981 Lesley Jayne song "Rocking with My Radio", released on the Lamborghini Records label. It was produced by Ian Gillan Band and Spencer Davis Group member Ray Fenwick, who also wrote the B-side, "My Old Man". Fox continued her collaboration with Fenwick, releasing her second single, "Aim to Win", under her own name in 1984. Neither of these singles was successful. Fox later said that "[Lamborghini Records] didn't really have a clue in those days and I didn't either," but said that the experience of performing live benefited her later musical career.[12] Songs from her early Lamborghini Records singles were included as bonus tracks on the 2012 deluxe reissue of her album Touch Me.[23]

In 1986, Fox was invited to an open audition for Jive Records, which was seeking a "British Madonna" to record the track "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)".[24] Released as a single in March 1986, the song became an instant hit, reaching the top 10 across Europe and topping the charts in multiple countries. In the UK, the song reached number 3 in the charts,[25] and in the US it reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.[26] Her second single, "Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)", also reached the top 10 in the UK. Jive Records offered her a five-album deal.[24] Her debut album, Touch Me, peaked at number 17 in the UK and charted all over Europe, reaching number one in Finland.[27] The album received mixed reviews from critics, but Fox dismissed the criticism, claiming that music critics routinely disapproved of attractive artists; she called female critics "plain, drab women without any sex appeal" and said that male critics "look like Elvis Costello".[15]

Her second album, Samantha Fox, released in 1987, featured the hit singles "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" (UK #8) and "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)" (US #3). The former song was produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman, while the latter was remixed by US production duo Full Force. At the Brit Awards 1988, Fox was nominated in the British Female Solo Artist category alongside Kate Bush, Alison Moyet, Sinitta, and Kim Wilde. The award went to Moyet.[3] Her third album, I Wanna Have Some Fun, released later in 1988, featured the hits "I Only Wanna Be With You" (UK #16) and "I Wanna Have Some Fun" (US #8). The album also charted in both the UK and US. By the end of the decade, Fox had achieved three top-10 singles in both the UK and US and three gold albums in the latter. She continued to have notable success in Australia and Europe.

Fox's record sales declined sharply after the 1980s. She released three further studio albums, Just One Night in 1991, 21st Century Fox in 1997, and Angel with an Attitude in 2005, but none produced any hits. A Greatest Hits album was issued in 2009, both in single and double CD formats.[28] In 2012, her first four albums were remastered and reissued as double deluxe CDs by Cherry Red, with the addition of remixes and previously unreleased tracks.[29] In 2022, Fox announced that she was working on a seventh studio album, produced by Ian Masterson, that would include a song co-written with Steve Strange as well as songs co-written with Ricky Wilde, brother of Kim Wilde.[30]

In addition to her solo career, Fox collaborated with Cris Bonacci (former lead guitarist for the all-female rock band Girlschool) and Lauraine McIntosh to form the short-lived band Sox. They entered A Song for Europe, the UK's pre-selection competition for the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest, coming in fourth place out of eight songs with their entry "Go for the Heart".[31] Sox released the song as a single before disbanding.[32] Fox collaborated on "Santa Maria" by DJ Milano, a 1997 cover version of the original 1995 song by Croatian-Dutch model and singer Tatjana. She collaborated with Swedish singer Günther, who recorded a cover version of her 1986 hit "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" for his 2004 album Pleasureman. His version features new vocals by Fox, who also appeared in the music video. In August 2023, she toured in the United States with Bad Boys Blue and Boney M, appearing in cities including New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Jose.[33]

Film and television

[edit]

Fox has done occasional film and television work. She and Mick Fleetwood co-presented the Brit Awards 1989, a live BBC broadcast that was subsequently described as "chaotic" and an "epic shambles".[34][35] The presenters repeatedly missed cues and made incorrect introductions, including failing to show a recorded message from Michael Jackson and introducing Boy George as the Four Tops.[34] Fox later claimed that the presenters were given cards containing incorrect information, that the autocue was malfunctioning, that female Bros fans disrupted the show with continuous screaming, and that her co-presenter was "out of it".[34][35]

In 1990, Fox appeared on the American sitcom Charles in Charge as Samantha Steele, a fictional rock star. She also featured in The Match (1999), 7 Cases (2015), and the comedy horror film Sharknado 5: Global Swarming (2017). In 1995 she guest-starred in the Hindi film Rock Dancer. In 2008, Fox and her then-partner Myra Stratton took part in Celebrity Wife Swap, exchanging with Freddie Starr and his wife Donna. In November 2009, she participated in ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!; she was voted out on day 16. In 2010, she appeared in a celebrity episode of Come Dine with Me with Calum Best, Janice Dickinson, and Jeff Brazier. In 2016, she featured in Celebrity Big Brother 18, finishing in seventh place. In 2023, she appeared on Celebrity MasterChef.[36]

Charitable activity

[edit]

In 2008, Fox donated her favourite bra to a charity auction.[37] In 2011, she participated in a campaign for LGBT charity The Albert Kennedy Trust.[38]

Personal life

[edit]

Fox's parents separated in 1988.[5] Her father, who abused alcohol and cocaine, managed her career prior to 1991. In that year, he violently assaulted her, leaving her with cuts, bruises, and two broken ribs.[20] Following that incident, she hired accountants to trace over £1 million that she believed he had embezzled from her accounts. Her father had moved her money into offshore bank accounts and had not paid tax on her earnings for a decade.[5][39] She sued and was awarded a £363,000 court settlement in 1995,[40] although those funds were used to settle her tax bill.[7] She spoke to her father only once during the last decade of his life; he died in 2000.[7] She has two half-siblings from his second marriage.[5]

Fox had relationships with a number of men. She dated Australian fraudster Peter Foster but turned down his marriage proposal, later saying: "My parents had split and here was a man who was clever, manipulative and domineering. I came close to marrying him because I was so vulnerable".[41] She was also romantically linked to Kit Miller, a journalist;[42] Rafi Camino, a Spanish bullfighter;[43] and Paul Stanley, the rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist of American rock band Kiss.[44][45]

Fox's sexual orientation was publicly called into question in 1999, after she judged a lesbian beauty pageant.[46] At the time, she was living with Australian-born guitarist and musical collaborator Cris Bonacci, who was rumoured to be her lover.[47] Bonacci later confirmed that she and Fox were secretly in a relationship for four and a half years.[46][48] In 2003, Fox came out as a lesbian and confirmed that she was in a relationship with her then-manager Myra Stratton.[5][49] Fox later said she had realised she was gay by her mid-20s but had been reluctant to come out because, having dealt with stalkers, she feared the potential reactions of some fans.[50] Fox remained in a relationship with Stratton until the latter died from cancer in 2015, aged 60.[51][52][53] The following year, Fox began dating her tour manager Linda Birgitte Olsen, a native of Norway.[54] The couple became engaged on Valentine's Day in 2020, after Olsen proposed to Fox, but postponed their wedding due to COVID-19 restrictions.[55][56] They married on 18 June 2022 in a Eurovision-themed ceremony at King's Oak Hotel in Epping Forest, Essex.[54][57]

Police arrested Fox at Heathrow Airport on 3 December 2023 after an incident prevented the departure of an evening flight to Munich.[58] Released on bail the following day, Fox appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court in April 2024, where she pleaded guilty to charges of drunk and disorderly conduct on a plane and to threatening and abusive behaviour towards a police officer. She denied a charge of assaulting her wife, and prosecutors dropped the assault charge after changes in evidence.[59][60][61] Fox appeared for sentencing at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court in September 2024, where she received a 12-month community order, including a £1,000 fine and up to 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days. She was additionally ordered to pay £1,718.09 in compensation to British Airways, £100 to the police officer she had threatened, £85 in costs, and a £114 victim surcharge.[62][63]
