Warwick Davis' daughter shows off new boyfriend as dad finds love after mum's death

Warwick Davis'daughter Annabelle has shared a loved up snap with her rarely seen boyfriend as the family support each other after wife Samantha's death. The actress, 28, first went public with her romance in 2021 but gives only small glimpses of their life together.

Annabelle and boyfriend Charlie headed to a summer event together, where they shared a cosy moment together. The Dumping Ground star looked gorgeous in a pink floral dress as she gazed lovingly into Charlie's eyes.

Charlie, who works as a music producer and photographer, appeared smart as he wore a navy suit and pink tie to match Annabelle's dress. It comes after Warwick revealed earlier this year that he had found love again one year after his wife's tragic death.

Annabelle and Charlie bonded over their shared love of creativity and caravanning, having carried on the Davis' holiday tradition.

Her dad Warwick's wife Samantha, who he affectionately called Sammy, died aged 53 last spring after following complications after spinal surgery. While at the BAFTAs in February, Warwick revealed he had found love again.

During his emotional Fellowship award speech, he cryptically gave a shout out to someone named 'Sponge'. He said: "Special mention should go to Sponge, you know who you are.

"Thank you for showing me that life can still have meaning and for helping me to laugh and to love again." Warwick was later quizzed over who Sponge is while on the Jonathan Ross Show.

He replied: "I can reveal, sticking with the Harry Potter theme, Sponge is indeed She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named." However, Warwick did make a reference to Daisy May Cooper's This Country character Kerry Mucklowe as he shared more about the mystery lady.

The Harry Potter actor added: "Sponge very much reminds me of Kerry. Some of the things she says and her accent." Warwick paid tribute to Samantha during his BAFTAs speech, as his children Annabelle and Harrison sat in the front row.

He became tearful as he shared: "When you go through your career as an actor, you sometimes become a bit reluctant to do certain jobs thinking another one will come along and be a bit better.

"She [Samantha] would always say 'get out there and do it'. She was great at networking as well, always talking to producers and getting me the work in the next job. Very supportive.

"You need that in this business because it is difficult. You've got to have someone who is very supportive of you being away on occasions and working ridiculous hours."

This year, an inquest concluded that Samantha died in March 2024 as a result of a cardiac arrest following complications of essential surgery. Warwick's legal team have launched an investigation into whether Samantha died of alleged medical negligence.

Warwick and Samantha first locked eyes on the set of the 1988 fantasy film Willow when he was just 17 and she 16. The teenage Warwick was by then already a rising star, having found fame as Ewok Wicket in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, while Samantha had previously worked on the 1986 cult classic Labyrinth alongside her famous father, Peter Burroughs. They married in the summer of 1991.
