Strictly Come Dancing may feature Dame Joan Collins at 83

This legend is in talks to appear on the show and could be the oldest dancer in the show's history!

Compared to all the other reality shows on the telly, Strictly Come Dancing has class and sophistication

So it’s unlikely that you’ll veer find any one too trashy on the show.

So it will come as no surprise to hear that producers are hoping to woo one of the UK’s grandest and most glamorous dames….

Yes that’s right, Dame Joan Collins.

The stunning actress is apparently in talks with the show’s team about slipping on her dancing shoes for the upcoming series this summer.

If she agrees, she will – at 83 – be the oldest star to have ever appeared on the ratings winning show.

“She’d bring plenty of glitz and old-school glamour to the dance floor, and she’s full of energy,” a source told the Mirror.

“She’d be a real draw with older viewers too. The bosses are going all out to get her to sign up.”

Of course, the Beeb are playing this down as they never like to give anything away until the official reveal in September and have refused to comment.

Joan has had a spectacular career and is best known for her role as superbitch Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan in Dynasty.

She’s also shown her funny side in ITV comedy Benidorm

If the rumours are true that she is about to hit the dance floor (no doubt to be partnered with Anton du Beke) we hope the celeb booker is savvy enough to also snap up her on-screen and occasionally off screen rival Linda Evans.

As well as fighting over Blake Carrington on Dynasty, the pair were also at loggerheads with each other when they went on a theatre tour of Legends.
