"I am genuinely really pleased," she said.
"I’m normally being given flowers for being David’s wife, so it’s really nice being given flowers for, you know, doing something that I’ve done on my own."
Samantha had impressed after cooking up crab and shrimp canapes and a surfing-themed cake, inspired by holidays in Cornwall with her husband.
During the show, she also revealed that David is an "enthusiastic" cook, but rubbish at tidying up.
Samantha triumphed over the other celebrity bakers
Judge Paul said of her bakes: "The showstopper – Sam knocked everyone out of the park.
"That was fantastic, well thought out, well executed and tastes actually as good as it looks."
Samantha had been up against comedian Jason Manford, former goalkeeper David James and ‘EastEnders’ actress Maddy Hill in the first show of the charity series.
Other names who will be taking part in the coming weeks include singer Will Young, Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, Girls Aloud’s Kimberley Walsh and newscaster John Simpson.
‘The Great Sport Relief Bake Off’ continues next Wednesday at 8.30pm on BBC One.
