Samantha Fox has been cleared of assaulting her wife on a British Airways flight after prosecutors dropped the charge.
The former Page Three model, 58, had been due to stand trial at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Monday after reportedly assaulting Linda Olsen on a flight from Heathrow to Munich on December 3 2023 – which she denied.
The incident reportedly stopped the London to Munich flight from taking off.
It is understood the assault charge was discontinued after changes to the evidence meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.
Sam had pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly and using threatening behaviour, causing harassment, alarm or distress to a police constable during a court hearing in April.

She will be sentenced for the two charges at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
Sam spent the night in jail after the ‘drunken bust up’ on the flight from Heathrow to Munich.
The Page 3 icon had boarded the flight to Munich when she allegedly got into a boozy row with a fellow passenger.
Sources told The Sun that Sam ‘kicked off’ on the plane, forcing it to turn around on the runway and abandon takeoff in London.
Police confirmed that a woman in her 50s was arrested on suspicion of being drunk on board an aircraft and has been bailed until March.
Sam said she is ‘deeply sorry for any disruption caused’ and is helping police with their investigation.
While Sam spent the night in jail, her fellow passengers spent the night in a hotel before making the journey the following day.
MailOnline contacted Sam’s representatives for comment at the time.
The model started dating Linda in 2016, a year after the death of her former partner Myra Stratton from cancer.

Sam announced in 2018 she had finally found love again and the couple got married in a lavish Eurovision Song Contest-themed ceremony at the Kings Oak Hotel in Epping Forest, Essex, in June 2022.
She previously spoke about her relationship with Linda 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.’
