Page 3 legend Sam Fox engaged to girlfriend Linda Olsen – four years after beloved partner died of cancer
PAGE 3 legend Samantha Fox is getting married to girlfriend Linda Olsen, The Sun Online can reveal.
The couple had been busy planning a romantic summer wedding in Essex - but have been forced to put their dream on hold because of the coronavirus crisis.
Former glamour model and Celebrity Big Brother star Samantha, 53, and Norwegian mum-of-two Linda, 45, are desperate to get hitched, a source explained.
The move comes four years after the death of Sam's beloved partner Myra Stratton, who she was with for 12 years.
A pal revealed: "Sam and Linda are so happy together and want to spend the rest of their lives together. They're so in love and want to make it official."
The Page 3 icon came out publicly in 2003 when she declared her love for girlfriend and manager Myra, saying: "I have slept with other women, but I’ve not been in love before."
The pair stayed together until her death in 2015 following a two-year battle with cancer, in what Sam later explained was the lowest point of her life.
However, The Sun revealed in 2016 that Sam had found love again with Linda, with the star explaining: "We are very, very happy, but it is early days yet.”
She spoke more about her new relationship in the Celebrity Big Brother house, telling Marnie Simpson: "I’ve now [fallen] in love with another woman.
"I met somebody a couple of months ago and I’m very happy. As you get older, life goes so quick."

Speaking to Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain in 2017 she said she was back in “a really good place” with Linda and the relationship went from strength to strength.
Sam was the most successful Sun pin-up of her era, appearing on Page 3 before launching a pop career in 1986.
Her most famous song, Touch Me (I Want Your Body), peaked at No1 in 17 countries and saw her earn a Brit Award nomination for Best British Female Artist in 1988.
Sam had relationships with men when she was younger, most notably being romantically linked with Aussie conman Peter Foster in the 1980s.
