Bond 26: Michelle Keegan tipped to star

Michelle and Maya have been named as the frontrunners for the role as Bond’s leading lady. Coral told The Mirror that Michelle and Maya’s names are in the mix.

Love Island host Maya boasts odd of 5-1. Meanwhile, Fool Me Once star Michelle’s prospects are odds-on at 4/5.

Many punters believe Michelle Keegan will join Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the next Bond film.

Coral’s John Hill said: “Many punters believe Michelle Keegan will join Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the next Bond film as the female lead.

“The Fool Me Once star is now odds-on in our betting to be involved. But we have also seen some outside support for Maya Jama. The Love Island presenter has had her odds slashed in half to be the female lead.”
