Earlier in the week, she claimed that US pop idol David Cassidy sexually assaulted her in a bathroom during a photo-shoot.

And former Page 3 girl Samantha Fox has now revealed she was once paid $50,000 to sing at a Colombian drug lord's daughter's 21st party.

The 51-year-old singer/model has recalled feeling 'like The Beatles' when she was greeted by 10,000 people in South America before being handed the huge sum in cash before performing at the birthday bash.

Revelations: Samantha Fox [pictured L in 2016 and R in 1998] reveals she was paid $50,000 to sing at the 21st birthday party of a Colombian drug lord's daughter... days after claiming she was sexually assaulted by David Cassidy

Samantha writes in her new autobiography, Forever: 'When we arrived in Colombia, George Bush’s war on drugs was going strong and no international stars were performing there.

'So when I arrived there were 10,000 people at the airport. They were so happy.

'After we’d done three shows this very serious looking guy came up to my tour manager and asked if I’d perform at his daughter’s 21st birthday the following night for $50,000.

'He literally handed over the cash there and then. I just thought he was a very rich man who wanted a gig for his daughter, but in retrospect I guess it’s pretty obvious what his business must have been.'

Things didn't always go well for Sam in South America, however, as she also revealed her manager made a mix up with the dates for one of her shows, which led to the Touch Me songstress and her crew being held hostage until her dad flew in from England to pay a $100,000 ransom.

When she went to India to play a show in Delhi the locals showed their support for her singing by exposing themselves.

She recalled: 'I noticed all the men were lifting their shirts to expose their willies to me, which apparently meant they loved me or fancied me.

'I was trying to remember the words to my songs with 70,000 willies doing the propeller in front of me. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.'

Two days ago, the ex glamour model said teen idol Cassidy, who died this month, forced himself on her when she was 19 after asking her to appear in one of his music videos.

She claims Cassidy, who shot to fame on seventies TV show The Partridge Family, followed her into the toilet of a London restaurant and put his hand up her skirt.

Fox also said Cassidy grabbed her breast in the same attack after joining her and her father for dinner out.

But revealing in her autobiography, released next week, Fox said she responded by kneeing him in the crotch.

Describing him as a 'first class creep', Fox told the Daily Star: 'It shocked me. I was a huge fan and loved The Partridge Family.

'I had a big poster of David Cassidy on my wall and I used to kiss him every night before going to bed.

'When he grabbed me and pushed his tongue down my throat, I just kneed him in the b*****ks and would still do that today.'

The assault took place in May 1985 after Fox was asked to appear in the video for his single Romance.

But when she was told to strip from the waist up for the video, Fox said she was left disgusted after realising he had an erection during filming.

In her book she said: 'Whenever he pressed himself against me, I could clearly feel his d***.

'David seemed to be deliberately drawing out the photoshoot, which took an eternity, and he had an erection the entire time – something he did absolutely nothing to hide.'

Following the shoot, Cassidy is said to have invited Fox and her dad to join him for dinner at former celeb haunt The White Elephant in Chelsea.

She said she agreed to go along to the meal as she did not want her father to suspect anything amiss had taken place.

She wrote that in the middle of dinner, when she rose to go to the toilet, he followed her into the loos and began fondling her.

Sticking his tongue down her mouth and hand up her skirt, the then 19-year-old fought him off and returned to her seat, never telling her father knowing how he would react.
