Reviews praised her performance as a promiscuous beautician who becomes the object of a lethal obsession.[6] In 2002 Steele was voted the Most Eligible Woman in Scotland [7] and followed this up in 2003 when she was voted the second most eligible woman in Scotland by readers of a Sunday newspaper. [8]

Steele starred in a one-off BBC One comedy, Magnolia, which aired on 22 September 2006.
