A Pop Phenomenon, Screen Presence, and a Personal Mission

Samantha Fox crossed from catwalk to charts by signing with Jive Records and releasing “Touch Me (I Want Your Body)” in 1986, a global hit that anchored her debut album, “Touch Me.” Follow-up singles like “Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)” and “Hold On Tight” cemented her status as a pop star, expanding her fan base far beyond her modeling fame.

Her career evolved again with acting and television presenting, adding film roles, TV appearances, and reality programs such as “Celebrity Big Brother” and “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” These projects showcased her versatility and introduced her to new audiences who connected with her direct, down-to-earth style.

Fox’s personal life remained as open as her public work. She came out as bisexual in 2003 and has been a visible advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion. She later married her partner, Linda Olsen, in 2020. Alongside her entertainment career, Fox has supported charitable causes, notably cancer research and initiatives benefiting LGBTQ+ communities. Using her platform to raise awareness and funds, she has kept philanthropy at the heart of her public life.

From a London school stage to international charts and television screens, Samantha Fox has continually adapted, expanding from modeling icon to multifaceted entertainer and advocate. Her journey reflects staying power, reinvention, and a commitment to using fame for good.
