She said: 'My agent said, 'If Betty Grable can insure her legs, you can insure your boobs.'

Samantha also revealed how she became one of the most famous women in Britain in the 1980s, with her grandparents having to use bodyguards to protect them from fan hysteria.

She said: 'One Saturday at a signing there were about 10,000 teenage boys who banged so hard on the windows to get in they broke them and rushed in. I had to escape with bodyguards in a helicopter from the roof.'

'My nan and grandad slept with them on their bed every night.'

The star retired from topless modelling with Page 3 in 1986 and kickstarted a music career.

Her debut single - Touch Me - charted at number three in the UK and number four in the US.   

Samantha is reportedly engaged to partner Linda Olsson. She started a relationship with Linda in 2016, and previously said she was in a 'really good place' after her partner of 12 years, Myra died in 2015 from cancer.    

The former glamour model announced in 2018 she had finally found love again with the Norwegian single mother-of-two.

Samantha spoke about Linda in 2017 after coming out of the Celebrity Big Brother House. 

During her time in CBB, Sam told former Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson:'I've now [fallen] in love with another woman.'

'I met somebody a couple of months ago and I'm very happy. As you get older life goes so quick.'

She also discussed her sexuality whilst inside the house, and said she hadn't fallen in love with a woman until she met Myra.

Sam explained: 'I just believe that love is far greater than anything. You can't help who you fall in love with.  

'If you fall in love with somebody, you fall in love with them. You can't help that can you.'

Sam gave a statement about her sexuality in 2003- the year she embarked on a relationship with Myra- after much speculation.

She said at the time: 'I have slept with other women but I've not been in love before Myra Stratton. People say I'm gay.

'All I know is that I'm in love with Myra [Stratton, my manager]. I love her completely and want to spend the rest of my life with her.'

Samantha added she had been reluctant to come out because, having already dealt with obsessed stalkers and feared fans' possible reactions.
