Joan Collins: I love the show but keep turning it down....even though I can still do the splits!

But the Dynasty TV legend said although she was a big fan, there was "no way" she would appear.

When asked by host Emma Barnett if she had seen 78-year-old Angela "pull her leg by her ear" last Saturday, Dame Joan, 90, told BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour: "I did see it.

"I am a huge fan of Strictly and I thought it was amazing." But asked if she would take part, she replied: "Are you kidding? No way! I've been asked to do it several times."
