Final picture of Warwick Davis' wife Samantha as smiling pair enjoyed a date ... trends now
Warwick Davis was seen smiling and paid tribute to his 'beautiful' wife Samantha on a date night in their final photo together.
The Star Wars and Harry Potter actor heartbreakingly revealed yesterday that his life partner, who he first met on the set of his 1988 film Willow, had died on March 24 at the age of 53.
In an emotional tribute put out on Wednesday, Davis said the death of his wife, who was also an actor, had left 'a huge hole in our lives' and said she made him fell like he had a 'superpower'.
The loving couple were most recently seen together in a photo posted his Instagram page on October 5, last year, in which they were seen smiling at the camera during a 'date night'.
It was accompanied by the light-hearted and tender caption: 'A long overdue date night with my beautiful wife. She felt a bit overdressed for McDonald's!'

During their 33-year marriage, they had three children - one of whom tragically died shortly after he was born. The couple are pictured in 1996
The picture delighted fans of the pair, with one remarking 'you two are just amazing' and another calling them a 'gorgeous couple'.
The photo resurfaced after Davis tragically revealed his wife of 33 years had passed away last month.
In an emotional tribute to his 'favourite human', Davis said: 'Her passing has left a huge hole in our lives as a family. I miss her hugs.'
He described Sammy, as he called her, as his 'most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career'. He said he felt like he could achieve anything with his wife by his side and that it felt like he had a 'superpower'.
'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,' Davis said in a statement given to the BBC.
The couple met on the set of George Lucas's film Willow and married three years later in 1991. During their 33-year marriage, they had three children - one of whom tragically died shortly after he was born.
Their two other children, Annabelle and Harrison, also paid tribute to their mother, saying: 'Her love and happiness carried us through our whole lives'. Mum is our best friend and we're honoured to have received a love like hers.'
Davis said his wife's mobility had become impaired in recent years but shared how she was determined not to let it bring her down.
She had a brush with death in 2019 when she fell ill with sepsis ahead of a family holiday.
Davis previously told how he and the couple's children 'sort of said goodbye' by her bedside before she pulled through.

The actor and his wife lost baby son Lloyd just nine days after he was born in 1991 - the year they got married.
Davis said in 2022 that he would not wish the 'devastating' experience on anyone and added: 'You never get over it.'
He and Samantha - who co-founded the charity Little People UK - met when Davis starred as sorcerer Willow Ufgood in the 1988 film named after the character.
