SPEAK OF THE DEVIL

    This idiom is used to express the coindicence of someone arriving at a place just at the time that they are being talked about. Clearly nothing sinister is implied by this and it is just a jokey way of referring to the person's appearance.

For example you could say : 

"Well, speak of the devil! We were just talking about you!"
