It’s been 40 years since a 16-year-old schoolgirl named Samantha Fox was named runner-up in the Miss Sunday People competition and her life changed forever.
And now, talking to the paper that gave her the big break – which would launch a stellar career in showbiz – Sam admits with a smile that she expected the fame she found as the “girl next door” glamour model would only last a few years at most.
“My life’s been like a fairy tale,” she tells us, adding that she can’t believe how quickly time has flown. “I never would have dreamt back then that I would still be here now.”
