“His passing has left a huge void in our lives as a family,” the 54-year-old said in a statement to the bbc. “I miss his hugs.”

He described Sammy, as he called her, as his “most trusted confidant and a fervent supporter of everything I did in my career.”

“He was a unique character, he always saw the happy side of life, he had a wicked sense of humor and he always laughed at my bad jokes,” he added.

The couple’s latest photo sees them enjoying a date night together as they smile in a cheeky selfie.

In their last photo in October, the couple smiled from ear to ear when Warwick joked that they were headed to McDonald’s for a date night.

The Star Wars star captioned the post: ‘A long-awaited date night with my beautiful wife. She was feeling a little too dressed up to go to McDonald’s!

Fans were quick to congratulate the couple last October. They wrote: ‘You are such a beautiful couple!’; ‘Enjoy Warwick!!!’; ‘Looking fabulous’; ‘Awwww. There’s no better place to have a date night than McDonald’s.

Meanwhile, other fans expressed their condolences in the post, which is Warwick’s most recent update on the social media app.

Warwick said he felt like he could accomplish anything with his wife by his side, likening it to the feeling of having a “superpower.”

She said her mobility had been affected in recent years, but shared that she was determined not to let it get her down.

He had a brush with death in 2019 when he fell ill with sepsis before a family vacation.

Warwick previously told how he and the couple’s children ‘said goodbye’ at her bedside before she recovered.

The actor and his wife lost their son Lloyd just nine days after his birth in 1991, the year they married.

He said in 2022 that he wouldn’t wish the ‘devastating’ experience on anyone, adding: ‘You never get over it.’

He and Samantha met when Warwick played the sorcerer Willow Ufgood in the 1988 film that bears the character’s name.

Samantha and her father Peter, who is Warwick’s business partner, had minor roles as villagers.

He also had an uncredited role as an elf in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in 2011, in which Warwick played Filius Flitwick, Hogwarts’ charms professor, for the last time.

In 1989, he participated in the BBC educational series Through the Dragon’s Eye.

Warwick and Burroughs, 77, co-founded Willow Management in 1995 with the goal of changing the way people with dwarfism were portrayed on screen.

Burroughs is also an actor and has appeared on both stage and in film and television productions, including The Legend of King Arthur, Hamlet, and as Ewok in the 1983 Star Wars film, Return of the Jedi.

Harrison also appeared as an elf in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Annabelle played Lacey Lloyd in Hollyoaks until January this year.

Speaking about the death of her first child to People in 2022, Davis said: “I think it brings you closer, or something, but it’s an experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone, it’s devastating.”

“You learn to live with it and eventually, over time, you’re able to better understand why it happened and you’re able to accept it a little bit more, but you never get over it.”

“I think the losses shaped our family dynamic, we love Annabelle and Harrison even more because they are here with us.”

Lloyd inherited dwarfism from both parents and died from complications caused by the condition.

The couple lost a second child, whom they named George, when Samantha miscarried at 20 weeks in 1993.

Warwick added: “We will always remember what happened to George and Lloyd. We will always be grateful to have had them for the short time we had them.”
