Samantha Fox to star on Celebrity MasterChef

Samantha Fox is to star on ‘Celebrity MasterChef’.

The 56-year-old model is expected to be one of the stars who will attempt to wow judges Greg Wallace and John Torode on the celebrity edition of the BBC One cookery competition.

According to The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column, news of the 56-year-old model’s stint on the culinary contest comes as it is revealed she is to drop new music, and be part of an ITV documentary series.

Sam told the podcast ‘A Journey Through SAW’: “There is going to be a series for ITV and then it’s going to be sold to Netflix next year. I’ve just finished an album.

"That’s going to be real pop and real dance. The album is just so uplifting, it’s fantastic.”

Recently, the ‘Touch Me’ hitmaker revealed she was unable to create new music as she was in a very “sad place” after the death of her ex Myra Stratton, who died in 2015.

Sam - who has since tied the knot with Linda Olsen, 50 - said: “When my my ex-partner died, I was with her for 16 years and that's a long, long time.

“For two years, I couldn't write a lyric. I just couldn't write because everything I was writing was very sad and I didn't want to show people I was in that sad place.

“It was very hard for me to actually release anything at that time and go on stage and pretend to be happy. I was quite sad but time is a healer and then I met Linda.

“I didn't think at that age, I'd ever meet someone again I was going to settle down with for the rest of my life and I have and I'm in such a great place.

“You get to your 50s and you lose the, you know, Myra was the love of my life and we were together 16 years and I didn't ever think I was going to be with anybody else.

“I thought that was my life mapped out. So when I met Linda and I fell in love, it was instant love when we met each other. It really was and I'm just so happy."
