Samantha Karen Fox (born 15 April 1966) is an English pop singer and former glamour model from Crouch End in North London. She has appeared on reality television shows and worked as a television presenter and actress. Fox rose to fame as a Page 3 model in the tabloid newspaper The Sun, where she appeared regularly from 1983 until 1986, becoming one of the most photographed British women of the 1980s and a prominent sex symbol. She left Page 3 in 1986 to focus on her singing career. Her debut single for the Jive Records label, "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)", was released that year and became a top-10 hit across Europe, North America, and Australia, reaching number one in several countries. Fox 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. Fox's albums Just One Night (1991), 21st Century Fox (1997), and Angel with an Attitude (2005) were less successful, but she has continued to tour and has announced a seventh studio album, produced by Ian Masterson. 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 Stratton's death in 2015. She became engaged to Linda Birgitte Olsen in 2020, and they married in 2022.
