Warwick Davis fans will be delighted to see the host of Tenable back on our screens today (Wednesday June 11), albeit with a Soccer Aid repeat, nearly a year after the game show was said to have been shelved. And sadly, it is also now just over 14 months since Warwick’s wife Samantha died.
The couple married in 1991, and were together until Samantha’s death in March 2024. She was 53. Paying tribute to her at the time, Willow and Star Wars actor Warwick Davis hailed his beloved wife as his “favourite human”.
“Her passing has left a huge hole in our lives as a family. I miss her hugs,” Warwick added. Warwick and Samantha shared two children, 28-year-old Annabelle and 22-year-old Harrison, together.

What did Warwick Davis’ wife Samantha pass away from?
An inquest into Samantha’s death took place in April 2025. It confirmed she passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest hours before she was planned to be discharged from hospital.
The family said in a statement: “The last year and trying to come to terms with Samantha’s death has been incredibly difficult. However, we hope that the inquest will at last provide us with answers. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their kindness and well-wishes to us all.”
Samantha had been admitted to hospital on February 7, 2024, following a sudden loss of mobility in her lower limbs after a disc prolapse. She then underwent a thoracotomy operation – opening her chest wall – on February 20.
While Samantha’s condition improved and she was due to be discharged, she suffered a cardiac arrest late on March 23 before passing away shortly after midnight on March 24 following attempts to resuscitate her.
