I miss her hugs.Read More on Warwick Davis”She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life she had a wicked sense of humour and always laughed at my bad jokes.”Warwick described Sammy, as he called her, as his “most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career”.Samantha died on March 24.The pair met while filming the 1988 movie Willow and married three year later.Most read in FilmSamantha was also an actor, having appeared in the children’s series Through the Dragon’s Eye, in 1989, and alongside her husband in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in 2010.Warwick said: “With her by my side, I was sure I could achieve anything, it was like having a super-power.Warwick Davis wife’s near fatal Sepsis battle”Without Sammy, there would have been no Tenable quiz show, no Willow series. No Idiot Abroad Series 3.”It was, he said, his wife who had persuaded comedian Ricky Gervais to send him and Karl Pilkington for the travel series.Outside of acting the couple founded the charity Little People UK in 2012 to help individuals with dwarfism and their families.Warwick said: “She was passionate about helping people, without judgment. She had time for everyone and a genuine listening ear.”Warwick added in recent years his wife’s mobility had become impaired but she was “determined that it would not impact her quality of life”.Disney, which airs the Willow series, said Samantha was “beloved member of the UK film and TV community”, adding: “Our thoughts are with the Davis family during this difficult time”.Samantha had achondroplasia, a bone growth disorder that causes disproportionate dwarfism.Warwick has previously opened up about his wife’s health after she was rushed to hospital with sepsis in 2018.The actor told The Sun that her health dramatically declined ahead of a family caravan holiday.Speaking of the horror a few years later, he said: “The next few hours were the longest of my life as I waited on the ward with our children in the empty space left by Sam’s hospital bed.“I hoped it would not symbolise a future for us without her.”Sam had numerous operations in her life-time due to her condition.It is thought she contracted sepsis after a decompression surgery on her spine.She said of her near death experience: “We went home a week later and suddenly I couldn’t feel my legs. Samantha’s struggles

      Samantha and Warwick lost their baby Lloyd just nine days after he was born in 1991 after inheriting dwarfism from both his parents caused complications.
      The couple lost a second child when Samantha miscarried at 20 weeks in 1993, with the couple naming the baby George.
      Samantha suffered another two miscarriages before giving birth to Annabelle and Harrison.
      The actress underwent numerous surgeries in her lifetime due to Samantha her achondroplasia, a bone growth disorder that causes disproportionate dwarfism.
      In 2019, she was raced to hospital after complications following a decompression surgery on her spine.
      She had contracted life-threatening sepsis and Warwick was preparing himself to say ‘goodbye’.
      The infection causes the body’s immune system to go into overdrive and attack tissues and organs, which can be lethal and lead to amputations.
      Sam survived but had it not been for her medical team acting so quickly, she could have lost fingers, toes or limbs.
      After being discharged, Warwick ‘played doctor’ for three months – mixing vials of antibiotics, loading them into syringes and carefully feeding them into Sam’s heart through a drip.
      In March 2024, it was announced Samantha had sadly passed away from sepsis.

      “I thought I was still recovering from the surgery so I went to bed, but the next day I felt awful, as though I had been hit by a truck.“I stayed in bed all day while Warwick and Harrison went to a family party and the next morning I woke at 4am feeling even worse.“As the day went on I couldn’t concentrate, I lay on the sofa and when I tried to get up I collapsed on the floor.”Warwick, co-founder of charity Little People UK, has often spoken out about the health battles related to his condition, as well his wife’s.He was born with Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SED), an extremely rare genetic form of dwarfism, which has been inherited by both their daughter Annabelle and son Harrison.He told the Guardian in 2015: “You look at somebody with dwarfism, the first thing that strikes you is probably that they’re short, and that’s it. But that’s the tip of the iceberg.“It gets worse. Could be a cleft palate, hearing loss – or you end up in a wheelchair.”“As you get older, it gets worse,” he said. “My hips are dislocated. Very painful knees.”THROUGH THICK AND THINIn a heartwarming birthday message, Sam once highlighted their unique romance with a tribute to her “beautiful inside and out” husband.She wrote: “You are the bravest, most caring and sensitive person I know.”You amaze us all everyday with your courage and strength. I love you to the moon and back. Always and forever yours.”What is sepsis?
      Typically, when a person suffers a minor cut, the area surrounding the wound will become red, swollen and warm to touch.
      This is evidence the body’s immune system has kicked into action, releasing white blood cells to the site of the injury to kill off the bacteria causing the infection.
      The white blood cells and platelets form blood clots in the tissues around the cut.
      Blood vessels swell to allow more blood to flow, and they become leaky, allowing infection-fighting cells to get out of the blood and into the tissues where they are needed.
      This causes inflammation, which appears to us as the red, warm swelling.
      When sepsis happens, this system goes into overdrive.
      The inflammation that is typically seen just around the minor cut, spreads through the body, affecting healthy tissue and organs.
      The immune system – the body’s defence mechanism – overreacts and the result is it attacks the body.
      It can lead to organ failure and septic shock, which can prove fatal.
      Bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites can all trigger sepsis – though the most dangerous culprit is bacteria.
      In developing nations, the condition remains a leading cause of death.
      Known by its colloquial name “blood poisoning”, sepsis is also often referred to as a “flesh-eating disease”.

      To mark her birthday, Warwick also tweeted a tribute to his “beautiful wife”.He added: “I so admire how she faces life’s challenges with dignity, energy & courage – she’s an inspiration.”Warwick has also spoken movingly about how the combination of both his and Samantha’s conditions have resulted in the deaths of two of their babies.The first, Lloyd, sadly died after nine days as his lungs were too small to support normal function.They also lost another son, George, when Samantha was 19 weeks pregnant.He said: “It’s something that a baby won’t survive. But Lloyd survived for nine days, but yeah he was beautiful.READ MORE SUN STORIES”It was a tough time. And yeah, we had a stillborn too.”Warwick insisted the tragedies brought him closer to his wife, and said: “That kind of stuff just makes you stronger.”What are the signs of sepsis you should never ignore?If you, a loved one, or in the case of medical professionals their patient, feels “severely sick”, doesn’t appear to be themselves and shows any of the following symptoms, sepsis should be suspected:
      Weakness- Loss of appetite- Fever and chills- Thirst- Difficult or rapid breathing- Rapid heart rate- Low blood pressure- Low urine output
      If a person is suffering these symptoms and they are thought to have suffered an infection – pneumonia, abdominal infection, urinary infection, or a wound – sepsis is a likely cause.

Katie Price said that she has banned Bunny from her phone for four weeksSpeaking on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she and her sister Amy discussed how tricky parenting and social media can be. “The trouble is, with social media, it’s the way forward. But I do think young kids should be restricted from it,” Katie began.”I’ve had problems in the past, major problems in the past with Bunny. I block it and put parental locks on it [but] she’s so clever to undo them and it gets me into trouble,” she continued. She explained that Bunny sees her friends and family on social media and wants to be involved.read more on katie price”So now she actually hasn’t had a phone for four weeks.

Your fat. You have no friends. Your little brother will forget about you,” in front of her video.Bunny captioned it with sad and crying emojis.A source told The Sun: “I was so shocked when I saw it.
