Samantha Fox came out in 2003, when she first acknowledged a long-term relationship with manager/partner Myra Stratton. Stratton died in 2015, and Fox has since begun another serious relationship with a woman.
Now, she's opening up more about her sexuality as she promotes an upcoming memoir.
This week, Fox appeared on the UK show Loose Women and talked about a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, one in which she didn't state that she is a lesbian:
I was a bit scared. People in Britain do know about it, and on Big Brother I talked about it. It was a good chance for me to speak about it in my own words ... Yeah, I kind of, I did sit on the fence a little bit … I said I don’t believe in labels.
She chalked up her past reluctance to ID as a lesbian to career fears, not totally ridiculous since along with being a singer she has always been a pinup girl for men:
For a long time I was a bit scared, because I did feel maybe—I’ve got of male fans, but since being a singer, I've got a lot of female fans, too—but I was scared that I may lose that fanbase.
She still never said she's a lesbian, but offered:
I would say the fact I was with Myra for 16 years, and now I'm in love again with a woman again, um, I guess I would say I prefer to be with women. That's what I can say now.
Her dislike of labels survives, even if she came across as pretty woman-centric:
I always believe in love—you can't help who you fall in love with. But I can't really see myself ever marrying a guy. I love guys! I work with them all the time, they're in my band, you know, they're in my business.
She said to any women who may have been watching:
Don't be scared about coming out like I was, and worrying about what people think, because love is a great thing and you've gotta live life today.

This overseas perf of “Touch Me (I Want Your Body)” by Sam Fox is noteworthy for the truly bizarre crowd shots, whether we're talking about the zombie-like young couples, the toddlers being jiggled to her PG-13-rated lyrics or even the moment when Sam warmly touches a lady while singing the word “tramp” ...

Out lesbian S-s-s-s-samantha FOX! joins the U.K.'s Celebrity Big Brother. My history with as Sam:
American Family Association is ever so pissed off by this Hilton ad, showing two men in bed:
I used Sam Fox to come out as gay...she later came out as gay!
After 23 years and more than a few disappointments, I now possess a rather good video record of my first time on stage—lip-synching and performing BROADLY to Samantha Fox's "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" at Flushing High School's 1987 "Mock Rock"!
I was not an outgoing type, so doing this was a watershed moment for me as a person and as a (then-closeted) gay kid.
The original S-s-s-s-samantha, S-s-s-s-samantha Fox!
I'd given up on ever seeing a video, but Lori, a kind classmate, happened to comment my Facebook that she had a copy. She happily sent me her Beta (!) original and I had it transferred today and...voila!
Video and my critique after the jump...
