Warwick went on to call Samantha his “favorite human,” adding that she was his “most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career.”

“She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life she had a wicked sense of humor and always laughed at my bad jokes,” Warwick continued.

The couple’s son Harrison and daughter Annabelle joined their father in remembering their mother, saying “her love and happiness carried us through our whole lives.”

“Mum is our best friend and we’re honored to have received a love like hers,” they added.

Warwick continued, “With her by my side, I was sure I could achieve anything, it was like having a super-power. Without Sammy, there would have been no Tenable quiz show, no Willow series. No Idiot Abroad Series 3.”

“She was passionate about helping people, without judgment,” Warwick shared. “She had time for everyone and a genuine listening ear.”
