Timeline

1950

Quek won her 50th cap for Great Britain during the competition, taking her to more than 125 combined for both England and Great Britain.

1988

Samantha Ann Quek, MBE (born 18 October 1988) is an English television personality and former field hockey player.

Quek was born on 18 October 1988 at Mill Road Hospital, Liverpool, to an English mother, Marilyn Quek (née Higgins), and Singaporean Chinese father, Albert Quek.

She has a twin brother.

The family moved from Coniston Street in Liverpool to the suburb of West Derby when she was about a month old, and to the Wirral Peninsula when she was five.

She attended Hillside Primary School on the Wirral for a year before moving to Birkenhead High School and going on to sixth form at Calday Grange Grammar School in West Kirby.

She then studied at Leeds Metropolitan University, where she earned a BSc (Hons) in Sport & Exercise Science.

Quek started playing hockey whilst at Birkenhead High School, and attended trials for the Wirral under-12 team.

She was selected to play for Wirral County at the Merseyside Youth Games, and the team won the tournament.

She was selected again the following year, when the team was victorious once more.

She then joined a team called Mini Panthers, where she was coached by the team organiser Peter Cartmel, who had earlier selected her for the Wirral County team.

Quek played as a defender and went on to represent both the England and Great Britain teams, wearing squad number 13.

2005

In 2005, Quek was part of the England team that won the Girl's (Under-18s) Four Nations Invitational Tournament by defeating Holland on penalties after a 1–1 draw in the final.

2006

She was also part of the team that were runners-up to Germany at the 2006 Women's EuroHockey Junior Championship.

2007

She won gold as part of the Great Britain Team for the 2007 Australian Youth Olympic Festival.

She won her first Great Britain international cap, aged 19 and whilst still at university, featuring in a goalless draw against Argentina 2007.

She made her England debut the following year.

2008

Her TUE specifically related to the use of an inhaler in 2008, when she was a teenager.

She responded to the leak, stating that not only had she operated within all sporting guidelines, but that she was primarily concerned that the nature of these hacks could stigmatise the future use of TUEs to the detriment of future athletes, describing TUEs as "potentially life-saving practices".

The hacks have since been widely discredited by numerous industry professionals and worldwide media outlets.

Quek was signed to Tranmere Rovers F.C. as a junior.

She revealed in an interview with The Guardian that she had to make the choice at the age of 16 between pursuing a professional career in hockey or football, as splitting her time between the two sports was hindering her progress in both.

She elected to pursue a career in hockey.

2012

She was not selected for the Great Britain squad for the London 2012 Olympic Games, but did play for England at the 2013 Women's EuroHockey Nations Championship, at the 2014 Women's Hockey World Cup (where the England team finished eleventh of twelve, their worst-ever placing), and at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where the team won silver.

2014

In the absence of Kate Richardson-Walsh, Quek captained the England team during the 2014 Champions Trophy in Mendoza, Argentina.

She played in every game of the tournament despite, unknown to Quek at the time, breaking two ribs on her right side in their opening game.

2015

2016

She has appeared as a contestant on shows including I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2016 and Celebrity Masterchef in 2020, where she reached the final three.

In 2021, Quek became a team captain on the BBC One sports panel show, Question of Sport.

In August 2016, Quek competed in the Rio Olympic Games.

In the group stage, the team won all five of their matches, defeating Australia 2–1, India 3–0, Argentina 3–2, Japan 2–0 and the United States 2–1.

A 3–1 quarter-final win over Spain and a 3–0 defeat of New Zealand saw Great Britain reach the final.

The team defeated the Netherlands on penalties after a 3–3 draw, winning the first women's hockey gold medal in the Olympics for Great Britain.

In September 2016, a group of Russian hackers calling themselves "Fancy Bears" hacked into the WADA database and revealed that Quek, along with many of her fellow Team GB members, had been granted a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for various medical prescriptions.

In May 2016, Quek appeared with her husband Tom Mairs on BBC One's game show For What It's Worth, where they won the show's jackpot of £2,500.
