Sam Fox devastated as sister Vanessa dies suddenly aged 50
Birmingham Mail ^ | 6 MAR 2023 | James Rodger

Sam Fox's sister Vanessa has died suddenly aged 50 after being rushed to hospital following a heart attack. The younger sister of the Page 3 legend died on Saturday.

Her death came nine days after she collapsed at her home. Ahead of her 2017 autobiography Forever, Sam told how Vanessa saved her after their alcoholic dad Pat attacked her.

She said: “I thought he was going to kill me and begged him to stop. When I tried to get up he kicked me so hard in the stomach it winded me and he wouldn’t stop. My sister Vanessa heard what was going on and jumped on his back to get him off me.”

Singer Sam and Vanessa were known to have been extremely close before her health took a drastic turn. The 80s pop star recently opened up about the death of her partner Myra Stratton who died of cancer in 2015.

She explained that looking after her partner of 16 years while she was dying was "one of the hardest things" she's had to endure over the course of her life. During an appearance on ITV Good Morning Britain Sam said: "For everybody, it certainly puts life into perspective and when you go through something like that, you certainly grow up and you see life for what it really is.

"She was very, very brave and I think anybody looking after somebody dying of cancer are very, very brave too. It's one of the hardest things I think I've ever been through and I've been through a lot in my life with my career and my life... It's tough."

I kind of think that’s unfair. Maybe those two are the greatest singers ever, but they were singers.

Okay, now I remember her. Didn’t think she was a singer, though.
