Page 3 icon Sam Fox is marking her 55th birthday today and we are here for it.
In 1983 at just the age of 16, Sam dropped out of school and instead took up topless modelling.
Little did she know at this point that her career was about to take off and that she would become one of the most famous pin-up girls of all time.
After taking the glamour modelling world by storm, she decided to try her hand at music.
Samantha released singles including Touch Me (I Want Your Body) which reached the top 20 in the UK charts and Naughty Girls (Need Love Too) that made the top 10 on US Billboard’s Hot 100.
Given Sam’s lengthy career in front of lens, Daily Star certainly couldn’t pass up the opportunity of celebrating her special day with an array of scorching throwbacks.
From eye-popping lingerie, sizzling stockings to transparent underwear – we’ve got it all.

Just one year after her career had kicked into gear, Sam was everywhere and everyone seemed to know her name, whether they were a fan or not.
Sam stood out from the crowd not only because of her beauty but because she pushed boundaries to the limits when it came to her steamy content.
Doing what she does best, the bombshell put on a scorching display in an eye-popping bask that demanded attention.

Sam proved to be so popular because she left little to the imagination when it came to racy photoshoots.
Quite often the iconic model would wow in next to nothing, pulling in audiences far and wide.
Three years into her career, she posed up a storm in a high waisted pair of knickers and a waistcoat that gapped open while daring to expose all.
The singing sensation certainly brought her A-game as she posed straight into the camera lens while wowing in scantily-clad attire.

The beauty who came from a family of market traders certainly succeeded when it came to breaking the mould.
Opting for a career in the spotlight, Sam became the most popular pin-up of her era and it’s really no surprise given some of her red-hot reveals.
Getting her legion of admirers fired up, the busty blonde oozed sex appeal as she rocked red laced lingerie that gapped open.
The stunning model showed off her skills as she glanced off into the distance while flaunting her curves from all angles.

After four years in the limelight, Sam decided to hang up her sexy negligees and retire from topless modelling.
The star who was originally from Mile End, London, decided she wanted to have a crack at singing rather than taking her clothes off – much to her fans disappointment.
During her 48-month pin-up career, she very much remained top of her game due to some of the risks she had taken, especially when it came to choice of attire.
Going where no other model had gone before, Sam posed in ultra revealing and transparent underwear as the thin and flimsy straps fell from her shoulders.

One of her most memorable photoshoots left no curve uncovered.
Donning a totally sheer basque that was teamed with matching white stocking and a garter belt, it’s no wonder newspapers were a sell out at the time.
Soon after some of her steamiest ever photoshoots landed, Sam did go on to unleash some chart topping tracks, however her singing ambition was short lived.
But having appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, she somersaulted back into the world of Showbiz and reignited her singing passion once again, releasing the track Hot Boy in 2018.

Sam has always been a sexy siren in front of the camera and at one point everyone wanted to date her.
However, the Page 3 star hadn’t had much luck in relationships especially following the tragic death of her long term partner Myra Stratton.
Myra was also Sam’s manager during the peak of career, helping her to navigate to success.
At the time, the bombshell found it hard to come out as gay as she feared she’d lose admirers as a result.

“I love her completely and want to spend the rest of my life with her.”
In 2015 sam’s world turned upside down when Mira lost her battle to cancel.
After going through the grieving process, Sam was fortunate enough to meet Norwegian mum-of-two Linda in 2016.
The love-birds had hoped to tie the knot in a lavish Essex ceremony after four years of dating but their plans were stemmed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
