‘It was really upsetting [postponing her wedding], but it’s just one of those things. We were supposed to get married in October and haven’t looked at rescheduling while Western Australia remained shut,’ the former X Factor star said.  

‘My mum and dad still live there [in WA] and all my childhood friends – I can’t get married without them. We’re just waiting to see what happens,’ Samantha added.

Back in May, Samantha spoke about her wedding plans on The Morning Show and said she had put her original plans on hold due when the virus first struck. 

‘I actually started the process of planning. I had a few things actually planned then had to put it all on hold because of COVID,’ she revealed. 

At the time, she said that she had secured a venue for the nuptials.

‘We only had one thing – we had a venue, but that is all I will say. It’s so much to plan, and I did start it,’ she said. 

‘Now it’s going to be perfectly planned I guess because I’ve got a lot more time.’ 

The star announced her engagement to Pat in January last year.
