The actress - who played Bernice Blackstock in the ITV soap - has announced the launch of the site via Twitter.

She wrote on the micro-blogging platform: "Breaking news!! My website is now up and running! Have a browse (sic)"

The website gives fans of the actress the chance to read about her acting and her novels, with Samantha having previously revealed she took a step back from the soap world in order to spend more time at home.

The site also features an online shop for Samantha's "spells".

She explains: "Here you can buy a range of spells and charms. Each comes beautifully packaged with all necessary instructions. And remember any spells undertaken must be for your greater good!"

The actress is able to ship her "spells" around the UK and overseas.

She added: "Some spells require that you cast them when it’s either a full or new moon. Instructions are provided with each spell but for reference here’s a list of all full and new moons for 2021."

Samantha previously admitted that getting a book deal was "one of the hardest things" she's done.

The former soap star - whose debut novel 'Rosemary and the Witches of Pendle Hill' was released in 2020 - confessed that landing an agent for her book was a tough task, but getting published was a dream come true.

She said: "It is, because I didn't know if it would ever get published to be honest.

"When I'd written it first, I sent it round to agents and getting a literary agent, oh my God! It's one of the hardest things - getting an acting agent is pretty hard!"
