Trending celebrity couple tipped for double Bond duty
Let's face it: Dua Lipa and fiancé Callum Turner are one of the hottest couples right now, and the duo have been tipped for double duty for the next James Bond movie British actor Turner, who's best known for his roles in the Fantastic Beasts franchise as well as the indie film Green Room alongside Sir Patrick Stewart, has seen his odds to be the next 007 shoot up in recent weeks, with Ladbrokes sharing their top five contenders. Having been the 10th favourite to snag the role (at 14/1), the 35-year-old is now sitting as the joint second favourite at 5/1 (alongside Theo James), just behind Aaron Taylor Johnson at 7/4. Jack Lowden, Tom Holland and Harris Dickinson also range from 6/1-8/1 in the bookies. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Pic: Samir Hussein/WireImage Speaking on the shift in popularity, Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: 'A significant number of our punters feel that Callum Turner would make a good Bond, and this latest odds cut suggests that some producers might share their thoughts.' Turner's partner Dua is also looking likely to be contributing to the franchise in her own way, with the 29-year-old singer being tipped to perform the title track for the next instalment. Lipa would follow in the footsteps of Adele, Billie Eilish and Sam Smith, all of whom won Oscars for their Bond tunes. Callum Turner and Dua Lipa Pic: Michael Loccisano/GA/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images Spokesperson for William Hill betting, Lee Phelps, shared: 'Speculation is mounting around the new James Bond film, and we have seen support for couple Dua Lipa and Callum Turner to both be involved in the next movie. 'Dua Lipa has already proven her credentials on the big screen and in the studio, so it's no surprise to see her odds shorten to 15/8 to follow the likes of Adele and Billie Eilish by singing the next iconic Bond theme. 'As a duo, they're now just 12/1 to both feature in the film in these respective roles, which would mark a bold and modern new direction for the franchise.'

John Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner breaks silence after MasterChef star sacked ‘for using racist slur'
JOHN Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner has broken her silence after the MasterChef star was sacked for allegedly using a racist slur. The top TV chef, 59, was said to be heartbroken after the BBC and production firm Banijay confirmed his following the Advertisement 3 John Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner has spoken out after her husband was sacked Credit: PA 3 She penned a message on Instagram Credit: lisafaulknercooks 3 Former MasterChef hosts John Torode, 59, and Gregg Wallace, 60, Credit: BBC Earlier this month, the broadcaster confirmed the host's contract would not be renewed after a report found he had used an 'extremely offensive racist term' during drinks after filming. Torode confirmed to The Sun that this allegation referred to him, but denied that it had ever happened. Now, in a video uploaded to Instagram today, his wife Lisa broke her silence for the first time. She said: "Hi there, I just wanted to check in and say hello and I'm here. Advertisement "Just thank you for all your really lovely comments because they really mean a lot, so thank you." Wallace, 60, was dropped from the BBC cooking competition in November 2024 amid numerous allegations of inappropriate conduct in the workplace. A BBC report which upheld 45 of 83 allegations of bad behaviour against Wallace also upheld a claim that a second person used a racial phrase once several years ago - which emerged to be Torode. Torode has denied the claims and said he has 'no recollection' of the event. Advertisement Most read in News TV He also revealed that he had been told the person with whom he was speaking "did not believe it was intended in a malicious way". Gregg Wallace breaks silence on racism claim against MasterChef co-host John Torode The BBC was unable to specify the time or date of the allegation, narrowing it down to '2018 or 2019'. Torode followed Wallace in being sacked by the BBC after allegedly using a racial slur when repeating lyrics from rapper Kanye West's hit Gold Digger at an after-work gathering. The Australian began presenting the BBC cooking contest alongside Wallace in 2005.
