X FACTOR sensation LEONA LEWIS is on the brink of being chosen to sing the new James Bond theme tune.
The Hackney-born star, 23, is set to beat troubled AMY WINEHOUSE and a host of other big names to one of the most prestigious deals in pop.
Film chiefs are talking to Leona’s camp and now think she is the ideal choice to sing the title track for the 22nd Bond blockbuster Quantum Of Solace.
A source revealed yesterday: “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.
“The Bond guys now look set on Leona. She is reliable and has a great voice for it.
“Hopefully something could be announced soon.”
Amy, 24, has been in the driving seat since last year.
But her relationship with superproducer MARK RONSON broke down as they tried to record the track.
Leona has smashed a host of chart records since winning the X Factor in 2006.
Her track Bleeding Love made her the first British female to have a No1 single in America since Kim Wilde 21 years ago.
Quantum Of Solace, starring DANIEL CRAIG as Bond, is due out in October.
