/ pefinf Stephanie de Sykes (born Stephanie Ryton, 1948) is a British singer, and was once a girlfriend of Angus Deayton. She attended Brays Grove School in Harlow Essex, which Essex County Council closed in 2008 due to falling pupil numbers; she returned to the school for a final reunion in June 2008 as guest of honour. She had a hit in 1974 with the Simon May penned "Born With a Smile on My Face" which reached Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart . She also recorded the theme tune to the TV programme The Golden Shot with the group 'Rain' that same year. The theme song, "Golden Day" was written for them by Lynsey De Paul and Barry Blue. De Sykes returned to the UK Top 20 a year later as a solo artist with the song "We'll Find Our Day" from Crossroads, which was featured at Meg Mortimer's wedding in the UK TV soap opera in 1975. De Sykes appeared in the show as singer "Holly Brown". She also had a starring role in the comedy Side by Side.
De Sykes lived with Stuart Slater (born Stuart Leslie James Slater, 14 July 1945, Liverpool), lead singer of The Mojos, with whom she had two children. De Sykes and Slater wrote two UK Eurovision Song Contest entries, Co-Co's "The Bad Old Days" and Prima Donna's "Love Enough For Two" in 1978 and 1980 respectively. In 1981, she teamed up with Angus Deayton to record a parody of that year's Eurovision winner "Making Your Mind Up" by Bucks Fizz. The song "We're Doing A Send Up" by 'Brown Ale' did not make the UK Singles Chart. De Sykes and Slater had one other song in the UK final, "All Around The World" in 1983, which was performed by Slater, ostensibly as a soloist, but with five musicians, including De Sykes on keyboards and vocals.
