Vanessa was understood to be Sam’s only full sister, with her passing coming eight years after her long-term partner Myra Stratton died of cancer.
Sam is the oldest daughter of actress Carole Ann Wilken and John Patrick Fox.
Vanessa was her full sister, with Sam also having two half-siblings from her father’s second marriage – Frederica and Frankie.
The Sun revealed Sam’s representative told them that the former Page 3 icon wanted to thank “the wonderful doctors and nurses for their care and support”.
They added that Sam is asking for privacy at this difficult time.
Sam spoke of Vanessa in 2017 ahead of her autobiography Forever being released.
Recalling the time that her sister intervened when their alcoholic dad Pat attacked her, Sam said: “I thought he was going to kill me and begged him to stop.
“When I tried to get up he kicked me so hard in the stomach it winded me and he wouldn’t stop.”
She went on: “My sister Vanessa heard what was going on and jumped on his back to get him off me.”
