Former CIA intelligence officer lifts lid on why the next 007 should still be played by a man
A former CIA intelligence officer has revealed why she thinks the next agent 007 should not be a woman. Since the release of No Time to Die in 2021, rumors have swirled about who will play the next James Bond, and the conversations are heating up again now that producer Barbara Broccoli and producer-writer Michael G Wilson sold the franchise to Amazon. Will 007 remain British? What race will the new iconic spy be? And could Bond be a woman? Christina said: 'As a former CIA intelligence officer - and a woman - myself, people naturally assume I'm in favor of a female Bond. Imagine their surprise when they learn I'm not. 'It's no secret that espionage has long been a 'man's world' - the disparities in pay and position between men and women at the CIA were documented as early as 1953, around the same time Ian Fleming first introduced us to the suave, womanizing spy in his novel Casino Royale. 'The Bond world Fleming created largely reflected this male-centric reality, its female characters relegated to seemingly less important roles behind a typewriter or at the British spy's side as his far less capable companion. And don't get me started on their scandalous attire and sexual innuendo-filled names.' Christina went on: 'The reality at the CIA was that women donned sensible skirts with pantyhose - pants weren't permitted - and wore crisp, white gloves. 'Despite having both the skill and desire to work in clandestine operations, women served in positions that 'better suited' their abilities - think secretaries, librarians and file clerks. 'Many even began their espionage careers as unpaid 'CIA wives', providing secretarial and administrative support to field stations. It was an undoubtedly clever, yet misogynistic, strategy in which the agency leveraged male case officers' highly educated spouses for free labor.' In 1975, Peterson became the first female case officer to operate in Moscow, only after turning down the CIA's initial offer to become an entry-level secretary. After months of operating freely in one of the harshest counterintelligence environments - women were largely able to go undetected as enemies didn't expect them to carry out plans - Peterson's world changed. She was accosted by nearly two dozen KGB officers who she said forced her into a van and off to Lubyanka prison for interrogation. Peterson didn't break under their questioning, and was released after several hours with strict orders to leave the country and never return. Her male managers accused her of failing to spot a surveillance team on her, a cardinal sin in espionage. Peterson shouldered that blame for seven years until it was revealed that the asset was compromised by double agents working for both the CIA and the Czech intelligence service. She could finally rest easy knowing she wasn't to blame for the arrest of that most important Moscow asset. It was thanks to her bravery that the asset was able to boldly choose his own fate, rather than be subjected to whatever punishment the KGB had in mind for him. Christina added: Around that time, more women were conducting clandestine operations - and they were good at it. Really good. This should have come as no surprise, given that women had already operated in this capacity unofficially for decades. 'Even so, women had to fight for the best cases that traditionally went to male counterparts, and despite repeated operational successes, the mostly male managers still doubted their clandestine capabilities. 'The same stereotypes meant women were equally underestimated by the enemy - a situation we continue to take full advantage of even today, allowing us to go unnoticed in some of the most dangerous environments in the world.' Across the Atlantic, women in the UK have also been key players in the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6. Kathleen Pettigrew, for example, served as the personal assistant to not one but three MI6 chiefs. In her book, Her Secret Service, author and historian Claire Hubbard-Hall describes the forgotten women of British Intelligence as 'the true custodians of the secret world', whose contributions largely remain shrouded in mystery, while men's are often cemented in our collective memory thanks to their self-aggrandizing memoirs. It's taken every bit of the past 70-plus years to somewhat level the playing field for real women in espionage, so one might argue that it's about time for a female James Bond. The former CIA intelligence officer added: 'Certainly, women are capable - a history of successful female intelligence officers from both sides of the pond already proves that. But what if it's not a question of whether she's able to believably pull off the role but whether that's something viewers, especially women, actually want?' Broccoli didn't seem to think so. 'I'm not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that,' Broccoli told Variety in 2020. 'Perhaps she knew something the rest of us didn't - or something we just weren't ready to admit: Women don't want to be James Bond. Not because we're content as his sexy sidekick, but because we want our own spy,' Christina said. Rumors: Stars tipped to be the new Bond have included Aaron Taylor-Johnson (left) and Theo James (right) However, Christina went on: 'The success of shows like Netflix's Black Doves and Paramount's Lioness suggest a female-led spy thriller isn't just palatable for audiences - it's satisfying a hunger for something new: a unique spy character created specifically for a woman. 'And while we're at it, let's make her more capable than Bond. After all, that reflects the reality on the ground. 'The best spies are those who operate in the shadows and avoid romantic entanglements with their adversaries - the antithesis of James Bond. Spies who are unassuming and underestimated. Delivering poison right under the noses of our greatest adversaries. Spies who are, dare I say, women?'

The Wanted star and former Strictly Come Dancing champion Jay McGuiness finds new career success away from boyband fame
He shot to fame as a member of boyband The Wanted in 2009. But since the group went on hiatus a decade ago, Jay McGuiness has found success in a whole new career industry, a world away from his pop star days. The singer, 34, was part of the band alongside Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Tom Parker, and Nathan Sykes, which produced number one hits like Glad You Came and All Time Low. After they disbanded in 2014, he went on to appear on Strictly Come Dancing the following year and was crowned the champion with professional dance partner Aliona Vilani. Jay's incredible dancing talent soon opened new doors, with the musician going on to forge a career in musical theatre. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He made his West End debut in Big The Musical, based on the 1988 film Big, and played the lead character made famous by Tom Hanks. He then treaded the boards in Rip It Up opposite fellow boyband and Strictly stars, McFly's Harry Judd and JLS' Aston Merrygold, as well as starring in musical stage versions of Sleepless in Seatle and White Christmas. Jay also was one of the famous faces to take a turn at starring in 2:22 A Ghost Story, while he has been starring as William Shakespeare in the UK tour of & Juliet. He has admitted that Strictly was a 'boomerang' for him to pursue his passion for musical theatre, crediting the show for allowing him the opportunity to get on producers' radar. He previously gushed: 'I'm so thankful I did Strictly. It's the scary things that end up being rewarding. 'Whenever I feel pretty low after a long period of time it is because I have cocooned myself away from the things that are scaring me. Then you end up feeling stagnant. Every time I have pushed myself, I have felt happy I did.' He added: 'I loved the nine hour rehearsals with Strictly and my partner was a legend. I was lucky as a lot of people were still in soaps or had kids to go home to. But I was free as a bird and could train for as long as I wanted. 'The adrenaline you get from going on live television on Saturday it really knackers you. And the day after your exhausted. You get Sunday off to decompress then go again.' But Jay has also begun a whole new career far away from the world of music and stage, having become a published author. He wrote his debut fantasy novel, Blood Flowers, in February 2024, with a sequel, Poison Tides, set to be released next month. According to Waterstones, the young adult series is 'a story of love, witchcraft, betrayal and murder', which focuses on themes of poverty, class divide and addiction. Opening up on he came to write the book, Jay appeared on Westlife star Nicky Byrne's podcast in February, where he explained he had always loved the fantasy genre. He said: 'They asked if I would be interested in writing an autobiography and I was like, "heck no". But fantasy was something I knew - I'd been around it for so long, I knew what I wanted to write. 'And so I guess, it was a year of me on my laptop going for it. And then we shipped it to a few different places and Scholastic is my publisher. And that is the OG publishers. They liked my draft and away they went.' Jay explained that he had wanted to write a 'fantasy book that I would've liked to have read when I was a kid' and admitted that the story was partly inspired by his own sudden rise to stardom in The Wanted. He said: 'It's like some kid that's in a small town, where everyone's sort of on top of you and on top of each other and they you find out you've got this magical power. 'And away you go into a world where all that stuff that used to scare you isn't scary anymore and now you meet the real big bad wolves. 'And it is parallel to me being whisked off into a boyband and meeting those music execs. I felt like a fish out of water when I was back home and now that I've seen the rest of the world, I am a fish so strongly from the water that I'm from. But with magic!' And with his huge success in theatre and publishing, it seems that Jay has also decided to draw a line under his time in The Wanted, following the tragic death of his bandmate Tom. The father-of-two passed away from brain cancer at the age of 33 in March 2022, after he was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in October 2020, The Wanted released a greatest hits album in 2021 and performed a one-off show that same year, before they went on tour in early 2022, which ended just two weeks before Tom's death. And while members Max and Siva are touring together as The Wanted 2.0, Nathan has said that he and Jay would struggle to perform without Tom. He previously told The Sun in March: 'I'm really happy for them. They get a lot of enjoyment in performing the music and they see it as a tribute to Tom. 'I think it's really difficult imagining The Wanted as a four-piece because The Wanted has been and will only ever be a five-piece, it's difficult imagining not performing with Tom.'
