 English description

Description:
This article is about the model and singer.
Samantha Karen Fox (born April 15, 1966, Mile End, London, United Kingdom) is a former British glamour model and singer.

As an unknown 16 year old she came in second in a topless photograph competition organised by The Sunday People in 1983. She soon became nationally famous and became a regular "page three girl" in the Sun newspaper, subsequently appearing as a nude model in girlie magazines. She is 5 feet 1 inch tall. The shots were not explicit by modern standards and appear natural.

In the mid-1980s she started a successful singing career. She scored three Top 10 hits in both the United States and Britain, but, oddly, only her debut single, "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)," made the lists in both countries. In the U.S., "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)" and "I Wanna Have Some Fun" cracked the Top 10 and also crossed over to the R&B charts; British audiences put "Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" into the Top 10.

In 1989, she co-presented The Brit Awards with Mick Fleetwood, in a TV presenting appearance that was sui generis. Other attempts at TV presenting were similarly misguided; a would-be interview with Rolf Harris was ill-fated even before it started, with Fox referring to her interviewee as 'Ralph' on several occasions, upsetting the normally genial Australian entertainer.

In 1994, it was reported that she had become a born-again Christian and was invited to play at Christian music festival Greenbelt. When queried about how she could reconcile topless modelling with her Christian beliefs, she said:
"Easily. God gave me my body. I know it has made many people happy. There is no conflict there. I don't and have never promoted pornography. I'm not a born-again Christian because I have always been one. I am doing what God wants me to do. My prayer each night is: Let me go my way and make people happy. Let me do the right thing."

In 1995, Fox attempted to revive her singing career by participating in the Song for Europe, the competition to select the UK's entry for the annual Eurovision Song Contest. She performed "Go for the Heart" as lead singer of the group Sox, but failed to reach the Eurovision after finishing 4th in the public vote.

Rumours regarding Fox's sexual preference began to surface in 1999 when she judged a lesbian beauty pageant, and many people said they believed that the woman she lived with at the time, Australian Cris Bonacci, was more than just her manager. In February 2003, she finally revealed the truth:
"I'm gay. I was one of England's biggest sex symbols. When they asked men who they would most like to sleep with, my name always came up. I couldn't say I was sleeping with women. But I can't continue denying it. Everyone knows I'm in love with Myra (Stratton, her manager) and want to spend the rest of my life with her."

In August 2004 she was featured in a music video with Swedish music artist Günther, in the song "Touch Me" (a remix of her earlier version). The link can be found below.

In November 2005 Fox released her latest album "Angel with an Attitude" in Canada. For the album, the resilient Fox chose to work together with the Canadian award-winning producer Joe Barrucco. The album may be released in other countries in the following months.
