CELEBRITY MATCH WITH SAMANTHA JADE

Singer Samantha Jade shares her favourite tennis memories, which includes performing at the Australian Open, in our ''Celebrity Match'' series.

Samantha Jade is an australian entertainer.

She became a household name after winning ''The X Factor Australia'' in 2012, with her first single ''What You’ve Done to Me'' debuting at #1 on the australian charts.

Jade headlined ''Kids Tennis Day'' at Australian Open 2014, where she performed to a packed ''Rod Laver Arena'' crowd.

She is also an actress, earning a Logie Award nomination for her portrayal of Kylie Minogue in the ''INXS: Never Tear Us Apart'' miniseries and has appeared on ''Home And Away''.

In our ''Celebrity Match'' series, Jade shares fond childhood memories involving tennis and her favourite Australian Open experiences …

Tell us about your tennis experience. Do you play?

My mum and dad would actually always play tennis together and were both quite good. I was okay, but definitely should stick to singing!

Do you have a favourite tennis memory?

I remember my family and i watching Steffi Graf win Wimbledon on television when i was about seven. She was my mum’s favourite player, so we were all cheering her on. I remember my mum jumping up and down, being so excited when she won!

What is your favourite memory from performing at the Australian Open?

I loved performing at the Australian Open! It is such an incredible sporting event to be a part of.

My absolute favourite memory from the Australian Open is shooting a commercial for ''Woolies''. It was so much fun and i got to meet so many nice ballkids who told me their dream was to one day play tennis professionally.

Who is your favourite tennis player to watch and why?

Serena Williams is definitely my favourite. She was incredible to watch. So fearless and strong. She just played with such class.

If you could meet any tennis player, who would it be and why?

Serena Williams for sure, i just love her!

Finally, can you please finish this sentence for us: ''The best part of the Australian Open is…''

...getting to see the best players in the world play in our country.

03/08/23 - Samantha Jade interviewed for the ''Who'' magazine website

EXCLUSIVE: Samantha Jade opens up about losing her mum

''I was so lucky to have her, mum was my hero.'' - by Kylie Walters

As she joins ''Who'' magazine on a sunny Sydney winter morning, Samantha Jade knows she has a lot to be thankful for. The singer is just days away from jetting off to Los Angeles to record new music for an album, ''Love.Sick Volume 2'', which she is planning to release later this year. And nine months after she tied the knot with husband Pat Handlin during an intimate ceremony in Italy, she’s well and truly loving life as a newlywed:

''We’d been living together for a while so you think that not that much will change'', Samantha exclusively tells us, ''But it’s been really nice, being husband and wife. It feels like we are a real team.''

And as her thoughts now turn from wedding planning to planning the right time to start a family, there is a dark cloud that hangs over the 36-year-old singer and actress after she lost her mother, Jacqueline Gibbs, to cancer:

''It’s a horrible disease that takes loved ones and ruins families'', Samantha says, ''Every time i go [to the doctor] for a check-up, it’s very scary. I assume the worst because i’ve seen it happen.'' 

Samantha lost her mum in mid-2014, just a few months after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer which had spread to her liver. They still do not know where it originated: 

''My mum was just such a special person who just lit up the room'', Samantha says, ''She had this superpower of being able to build a person up and make them feel like a million bucks. I don’t know i’d have gotten so far with my music if it hadn’t been for her support.''

In the years since, Samantha has come to terms with the loss of her ''best friend''. But the one thing she refuses to accept is that the disease, which is tragically estimated to affect around half of all Australians throughout their lifetime, is permanent.

That is why she has signed up to be an ambassador for the ''Cancer Council’s Daffodil Day'' on thursday august 31st 2023. Last year, the day raised around $2.5 million that went towards research, cancer prevention and supporting those affected by the disease. This year, Samantha is hoping to help smash that target:

''The goal of the fundraising is to ultimately find a cure'', she says, ''There is nothing in the world that i wish for more. There are so many people living with that dark cloud above their head and a cure is the only way to bring them peace.''

While most people know that they can support the cause by purchasing a beautiful bunch of bright yellow daffodils from a ''Cancer Council'' stall on the day, there are many other ways you can get involved. Participants are also encouraged to register a fundraiser online and hold events ranging from morning teas to casual dress days in your workplace while asking for a donation:

''Whatever you can do to help, whatever amount you can afford to donate is great'', Samantha says, ''Every extra dollar in the kitty is one step closer to finally putting an end to cancer.'' 

Determined to continue making her mum proud, Samantha now makes an extra effort to live her life to the fullest, just as Jacqueline urged her, even from her hospital bed. It is bittersweet that the moments Samantha knows her mum would have loved best are now tinged with both joy and sorrow:

''I knew that my wedding day would be hard and having a baby [without her here] will be hard'', Samantha explains, ''When i have occasions that i want to celebrate, i accept i will feel like an equal measure of sadness too. I always feel her with me, though, and on the big day i wore her wedding ring so [i] felt her presence there.”

The one thing Samantha is determined to never do is stop making music:

''Spending those last few months with my mum in the hospital, she was always encouraging me to get out and get back in the studio because she knew that was my passion'', she says, ''My mum loved to dance, she was always the first one up on the dance floor, so i know she’d be really proud of me now for continuing on.''

The ''Cancer Council’s Daffodil Day'' is coming up on thursday august 31st 2023. Visit ''Daffodil Day'' to register a fundraiser or make a donation.
