Samantha Fox rose to fame as a topless Page 3 model in The Sun tabloid newspaper, where she appeared regularly from 1983 until 1986. She did a further set for Playboy in 1990 at age 30.
Her images also featured in numerous other publications. She became one of the most photographed British women of the 1980s and one of the era's most prominent sex symbols.

Fox signed a five-album record deal with Jive Records in 1986. Released in March of that year, her debut single for the label, "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)", became a top-10 hit across Europe, North America and Australia, reaching number one in several countries. Fox released her debut studio album Touch Me in July 1986 and followed it with the albums Samantha Fox in 1987 and I Wanna Have Some Fun in 1988, each of which produced international hit singles.

Fox received a Best British Female Artist nomination at the Brit Awards 1988. Her subsequent studio albums Just One Night (1991), 21st Century Fox (1997) and Angel with an Attitude (2005) were less commercially successful, but she has continued to tour and has indicated that she will release a seventh studio album in 2023, produced by Ian Masterson.

Fox has appeared in a number of films and reality television shows and has occasionally worked as a television presenter. Following persistent rumours about her sexual orientation, she publicly acknowledged in 2003 that she was in a same-sex relationship with her then-manager Myra Stratton. Their relationship lasted for 16 years until Stratton died of cancer in 2015. Fox subsequently began a relationship with her tour manager Linda Birgitte Olsen. The couple became engaged in 2020 and married in 2022.
