In a deeply moving statement issued last week, Davis revealed that his wife had passed away on March 24. He praised Samantha as his rock and muse in his career, highlighting her impact on his professional endeavours.

Davis wrote, “Her passing has left a huge hole in our lives as a family. I miss her hugs. She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life, with a wicked sense of humour and always laughing at my bad jokes.”
