Her stunning wedding dress featured sparkling sequin details and a long draped train, while she also opted for a dramatic veil that spread behind her.

A member of her wedding party walked behind her and held her train and veil in the air, giving a glimpse of her beautiful silver wedge heels.

Sam styled her platinum blonde tresses in a chic half up half down style and accentuated her prominent features with a glamorous makeup palette for the big day.

She arrived at the lavish ceremony in a white cab adorned with pink ribbons and a stunning blush flower arrangement on the bonnet.

She was seen hiding under white umbrellas as she headed to her wedding ceremony to protect her glittering ensemble from the rainy weather.

Meanwhile, her wife-to-be Linda looked stunning as she climbed out of her vehicle and zoomed under a row of white umbrellas as she drove to the Essex wedding venue.

The Norwegian mother-of-two pinned her chocolate brown tresses back half-up and half-down, fastening a voluminous white veil in her tresses as she eyed the bride for every inch.

It comes after a source confirmed to MailOnline that Sam Fox was “to tie the knot with fiancee Linda Olsen on Saturday”.

Last month, Linda shared her excitement at finding her wedding dress, sharing a snap of herself at David’s Bridal in Stratford with the caption, “Our big day is approaching.”

While a representative for Sam confirmed to MailOnline: “The wedding is upon us – Sam and Linda are looking forward to a glorious day”.

The happy news comes six years after Samantha lost her beloved longtime friend Myra Stratton, of 12 years, to cancer.

Sam and Linda’s engagement was announced in March 2020. A source told The Sun at the time: “Sam and Linda are so happy together and want to spend the rest of their lives together. They are so in love and want to make it official.’

Sam began dating Linda in 2016 and previously said she was in a “really good place” after Myra, her partner of 12, died of cancer in 2015.

The former glamor model, who recently suffered a cancer scare after finding a lump in her vocal cords, announced in 2018 that she had finally found love again with the Norwegian single mother of two.

Samantha recently told OK! Magazine that after postponing their first wedding due to the Covid pandemic, they planned to wait so their loved ones from around the world could attend.

During the interview, Sam revealed that her “amazing pal” Motörhead lead singer Lemmy – who died in 2015 – offered to step in and walk her down the aisle after her father died.

Sam’s father Patrick, who guided her career until 1991, died in 2000.

When asked if she plans to invite celebrity friends over, Sam said: “I’ve known a few for a long time. I want to invite the people who have brought me to where I am today.

“I know a lot of celebrities, but they’re not my real friends, but there are a few more to come.”

Meanwhile, the happy couple were spotted at the Covent Garden flower market, collecting floral ideas for their big day with the help of celebrity florist Warren Bushaway of London Event Florist.

Samantha opened up about Linda in 2017 after she got out of the Celebrity Big Brother house.

During her time at CBB, Sam told former Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson, “I’ve got it now [fallen] in love with another woman.’

“I met someone a few months ago and I’m very happy. When you get older, life goes so fast.”

She also spoke about her sexuality while in the house, saying that she hadn’t fallen in love with any 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.

“When you fall in love with someone, you fall in love with them. It’s not your fault, is it?’

Sam released a statement about her sexuality in 2003 – the year she began a relationship with Myra – after much speculation.

She said at the time: “I’ve slept with other women, but I wasn’t 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 more than anything and want to spend the rest of my life with her.’

Samantha added that she has refused to come out because she has already dealt with obsessed stalkers and feared the possible reactions from fans.
