More4 News reports on how the seemingly endless online obsession with celebrities' sex lives has claimed a victim in the shape of Edison Chen, the Hong Kong-based star of the film Infernal Affairs.

Biography

Sam joined More4 News a few months after it launched in 2005 - her first foray into the world of broadcasting. Starting off as a researcher, she quickly got into producing, reporting and dabbling with the camera.

Previously she had trained in print, freelancing at various nationals before working as a reporter on a financial magazine.

Originally Sam trained as a pharmacist and, having worked in the NHS as well as the community, she used her background to get an exclusive on the Home Office's decision to deport non EU doctors; some whom had been working for years in UK hospitals and had been called by the government to work here.

She also produced a story on a Scottish MSP's controversial suggestion to introduce contracts to heroin addicts that involved signing away their right to have children while on treatment.

One of her highlights was securing and producing a rare interview with Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, about his new album - after almost a thirty year absence from the mainstream music scene.
