I am delighted that Sable Colby, a.k.a. Stephanie Beacham, is to be on. She is the biggest Hollywood name that we are likely to get on this show. Whatever her dancing ability, I think she will be giving all the other ladies, celebrity and professional, a lesson in glamour, dress sense, poise and personality - and all, incredibly, at the age of 60! Incidentally, for anyone who would like to see her first TV series "Tenko", by an amazing coincidence it is to be repeated this week on the UKTV History channel (Freeview Channel 12) starting Monday 1st October at 10am.

Bob it was great to see her last and she certainly made a great impression - I want to see the French and Saunders sketch in which Stephanie played a woman who claimed that Elvis was the father of her son She was brilliant in it - and certainly F&S reckon she was one of the funniest people they had ever worked with Stephanie rocks!

Steph is fab. The boss with a withering put down for any idiot.

All we need now is a good old fashioned cat fight

"That Gabby creature....."

Priceles!!!

Did Gabby tell people of this talentat the press conference or do you think she actually said it in conversation? Either way Stephanie was not impressed - get the impression she will put up with any nonsense

At a guess I reckon she said it to the girls and then showed off in the photo shoot.

Great line Steph-just put her in her place with one put-down

For sixty she does look rather special, if she has had any nipped or tucked I want the name of the surgeon for future reference.

Behave yourself

She's a real character and that's the best thing

I think Stephanie's fab. Funny and classy.

There's an old interview with her on YouTube, from Wogan. Funny!

poor Vincent

She was really humourous last night. I hope she goes far.

Poor Vincent - he will have a great time with her - she is pure class

It was said in jest the youtube clip is of Sable doing the "Tango" ripping each others shirts off, can't wait for Tango week, hope she is still in by then.

I know Everything wirtten about the glorious Stephanie is written in jest and irony

I just hope Vincent gets her humourAnd takes it all with a pinch of salt

That You Tube clip is fantastic. She is going to do Arlene's sex requirement like no other female before her....!

What hands!

this lady is pure class!

so looking forward to her on SCD

(obsessive fan mode)I'm just glad she's back on TV! (/obsessive fan mode)
I'm backing her 100%, and it probably sounds incredibly weird actually as most girls my age are probably backing Matt Di Angelo.
She's going to be so entertaining!She was hilarious on the documentary thing.

She is pure class with a great sense of humour and irony...I think she might just steal the show

Methinks Arlene will meet her waterloo in Steph

in Stephanie the Dancing QueenSorry could not resist - I'll get my coat...

Mamma Mia

I think we ought to stop there

Oh dear

I just watched her in Tenko last night as Rose (Sky+d them all while I was on my course & watched a marathon 5 episodes back to back ).
Can't wait to see her dancing; I'm expecting some great witty comments in the VT's & hopefully on ITT. She is so fantastic for 60 - lbh she started off with good genetics but she's obviously looked after herself with all that Hollywood know-how. I wonder if she's had any work? If she has it's not obvious & very well done.

I don't think she has had any work as her neck and face are refreshingly wrinkled. She doesn't have that cats eye look either.

Her decollete was magnificent for a woman of her age.
