Leona Lewis will sing the theme tune to the next James Bond theme, it's been reported.

The former X-Factor winner is understood to have been chosen over Amy Winehouse, who last month confirmed that she had worked on a song for the film with Mark Ronson.

Speaking to the Sun newspaper, an unnamed source said: "It looks like Leona has finally won the race.

"She is seen as one of the few candidates who has the right profile both sides of the pond to do it.

"Amy was their original choice but she just can't get her act together and hasn't got the right image."

Since winning the reality TV show X-Factor, Lewis has gone on to achieve massive success in both the UK and America.

Her debut album, 'Spirit', has already sold in excess of two millions copies in the US.

The next James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, is released on October 31st and will once again star Daniel Craig as Bond.
