Fox and Olsen started dating in 2016, a year after the death of Fox’s former partner Myra Stratton from cancer.
The former glamour model, who suffered a cancer scare herself two years ago after finding a lump in her vocal cords, announced in 2018 she had finally found love again with the Norwegian single mother-of-two.
The couple got married in a lavish Eurovision Song Contest-themed ceremony at the Kings Oak Hotel in Epping Forest, Essex, in June 2022, and Fox later revealed they didn’t see each other the night before the big day.
She arrived at the ceremony in a white taxi decorated with pink ribbons and a stunning blush heart-shaped floral arrangement on the bonnet, while the number plate read ‘Sam and Linda are getting married, 18th June 2022’.
They were forced to postpone their 2020 wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The former model was given away by her mother Carole and stepfather Colin, who walked her down the aisle on crutches after recently breaking his femur.
Fox previously spoke about her relationship with Olsen after she left the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2017.
‘I’ve now [fallen] in love with another woman,’ she said.
‘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.

Fox said: ‘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.’
Fox is due to stand trial on September 2.
