SEE VIDEO Leona Lewis to be next Bond girl?

X Factor winner to record OO7 theme tune

Leona Lewis is all set to record the theme tune for the new James Bond movie after producers decided Amy Winehouse wasn't the right gal.

The X Factor winner, 22 – who shot straight to No 1 yesterday with her new single Bleeding Love – is said to be in talks with film company EON to discuss the signature tune.

‘Leona’s beaming from ear to ear at being asked to be part of such a huge movie,’ a pal tells the News Of The World.

‘She thinks it’s a real honour to follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s biggest female names including Shirley Bassey, Sheryl Crow, Madonna and Tina Turner.’

Amy Winehouse, 24, was originally tipped as the perfect candidate for the film - known only as Bond 22 - but after her whirlwind drink and drugs benders last month, bosses decided she didn't have the right image.

Bond 22 - which stars Daniel Craig - is to be released next year.
