Olivia Dean is favourite to sing next Bond theme

Olivia Dean is the new favourite to sing the next James Bond theme song, according to William Hill.

After being honoured with four BRIT awards over the weekend, the 26-year-old Londoner is set to follow in the footsteps of Billie Eilish, Sam Smith and Adele as the franchise’s next title-track vocalist.

The leading bookmaker makes Raye the second-favourite at 7/2, with Lana Del Rey at 4/1 as another contender to front the iconic soundtrack.

Dua Lipa is a 7/1 chance, while Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus are at 10/1 and 12/1 respectively. Oasis are 12/1 for a surprise reunion performance, with Chappel Roan and Charli XCX each available at 16/1 among the other names in the frame. 

“Olivia Dean’s Brit Awards clean sweep and live performance have clearly hit a high note with James Bond fans, and she’s now our even-money favourite to deliver the next 007 theme,” said Lee Phelps, spokesperson for William Hill.

“Raye (7/2), Lana Del Rey (4/1) and Dua Lipa (7/1) remain major players in the betting, followed by Harry Styles at 10/1. Miley Cyrus and Oasis aren’t considered to be natural suitors for the song, hence their shared odds of 12/1. But after a weekend where Dean was crowned the UK’s new queen of pop, it’s no surprise that she’s most-fancied to open the credits in the next Bond film.”
