She wasn't recognised as a 'world wide pop star' in her day, she was recognised for her tits in the papers. Don't confuse these two things.

A tad bitter - she's bloody fuming!!. She's a complete narcissist, interested in no-one but herself. Completely deluded.
Featured very highly on the American billboard charts, sell-out crowds all over Europe. Well known world wide for her music rather than the tits. I'm not making this shit up you know.

Hahaa! Conveniently forgetting two large pretruberances, of which they both became 'famous' for.

Well you're certainly getting your information from somewhere, how realistic it is I wouldn't like to guess.

She's famous originally for her overlarge mammaries, then her kids, her failed relationships, her clothes line and her books. Incidentally, have you read any of her books? 😳 She has a good agent an an endless supply of cash behind her. During a time when agents were selling disasters like kerry katona. Hard to believe both won 'mother of the year award' - what a tragic piss take that was.

It remains however, that sam fox and jordan were, and always will be, famous for showing their tits.

Fully agree with everything mentioned here.

Plus I remember seeing her on some wierd reality show a few years back where "celebs" would run a bar. She ended up getting wasted and making a fool of herself then too. She wasnt refered to as "Our Sam" at the time - she was more of a laughing stock.

To be fair I dont mind her, but I did giggle when I think Heavy compared Chloe getting her boobs out to what Sam used to do.

"WHAT I DID WAS FACKING ART MATE!!"

I just had visions of builders up and down the country taking Picassos into portaloos during 'breaks'.
Yep. Something Sam fails to mention also is that when she was asked to host the Brit awards live on national TV with Mick Fleetwood it was such an utter car crash in TV presenting she became a laughing stock overnight and never recovered from it. In fact that is something she is remembered for I'd dare say as much as her page 3 or singing career.

TV gold.

I don't like her much. Seems a bit cold and very calculating to me. And has a sense of entitlement. Think we saw the real Sam post nominations. I actually prefer Bear.

Well, delusional or not, she was top 3 in the voting last night, the other two who were are the top 2 favourites to win, and the two that left in the double eviction got a lot more positive screentime last night than she did. She might not be as popular as she thinks she is, but equally she's not as hated as this thread is making her out to be either.

Sam was definitely in another league famewise to the reality tv lot in the house. She was a household name and not just in the UK. In the mid 80's, everyones mum, gran, aunt, kids etc knew who she was whereas I doubt many people outside their target audience has a clue who Bear, Marnie, Lewis etc are. I certainly have no idea who the reality tv lot are each year and have to google them when their names are leaked.

Yes - the target audience is the important phrase.

But it is an age thing of course. My daughter is 18 - why would she ever have heard of Sam Fox? And in fairness, if you didn't know her as a page 3 girl, and missed out on her one major hit, past 1986, she wouldn't have gained any new fans. That's 30 years ago!!

But my daughter seems to know all the GS, TOWIE, EOTB people - and she is more of the target audience than I am.

Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY over the age of 35 has heard of Sam Fox. Its pretty ignorant to suggest otherwise whether you like the woman or not.
A 35 yr old would have been 5 when her hit record was in the charts. You are not quite in the right era. I would say you'd need to be at least 40 - 45 to be in the right era.

I'm getting fed up with Sam and her endless self congratulation on how adored she is, but the BRIT disaster wasn't her fault. The autocue went AWOL. Sam and Mick Fleetwood hadn't met prior to the show. They basically had to improvise on the spot. They didn't know the running order of the award categories, when live performances were starting or even which performer was next on stage. Mick F spoke about it afterward and he said they were both shitting themselves, it was the most terrifying experience of his career.

I didn't say it was her fault. But the truth of why it was such a disaster coming out 20 years after the fact wasn't much help to her. I lived through that time and overnight she went from being a popular celeb who would appear on various quiz and panel shows to the TV wilderness. Like I say, she didn't recover from it.

Yes, I think she very much showed who she is after noms.
I was hoping she'd go last night just to knock the corners off her inflated sense of importance.

I don't personally know of anyone who suddenly thought page 3 girls were particularly intelligence thanks to her emergence.
She never came across as the brightest spark.

Even if you were the best page 3 girl ever, you're still a page 3 girl.

Samantha Fox is famous for ONE THING, and one thing only: getting her T-i-T-s out.
Let's stop pretending she's a "singer" and "artist".
She may think she's a "national treasure", that we all call her "our Sam" and that her soft-porn was "art", but there no need to encourage her delusions.
