Leona seems to be the girl with the golden voice, as Bond makers have picked her to sing the 007 theme tune, according to reports from The News of the World.

Originally, the makers wanted Amy Winehouse, but following her string of highly controversial booze and drugs episodes, have decided against using her.

Instead, X Factor winner Leona Lewis has been picked, the girl who has been out of the limelight for almost a year, but only to return in the most emphatic of ways with her brand new single ‘Bleeding Love’, tipped to be a smash hit in the US and her beloved Britain.

A pal said: “Leona’s beaming from ear to ear at being asked to be part of such a huge movie.

“She thinks it’s a real honour to follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s biggest female names.”
