Mark Wright hilariously joked that ‘he will fight’ wife Michelle Keegan for the next role in the Bond movie – after she was tipped to take the female lead.
The former TOWIE star, 37, quipped that his ‘dreams would be shattered’ if Michelle, 36, appeared in the movie before he had a chance too.
During his Heart FM radio stint, the presenter spoke highly of his beloved wife Michelle, claiming she remains ‘so humble’ despite her hugely successful acting career.
He said: ‘She’s such a down to earth girl, never forgotten her roots. If she’s the next Bond girl, it would be totally weird if I’m bond. Maybe I’ll fight her for it. That is my dream shattered of being the next Bond himself.’
‘When she sits there and reads news that she is in the running to be the next Bond Girl, she’s like “Nah, no chance. I’m not having it”.

‘But then when you think about it, why not! They’ve put her in the mix with Jodie Comer, who also could be running for it as well, and in the past we’ve had Rosamund Pike, Monica Bellucci, Halle Berry, just imagine if Michelle is the next Bond Girl!’
He added: ‘I don’t know if you get like this at work, you do something really good but you don’t realise that and your just modest and that’s what’s so good about the fact that she is like that, humble. And I absolutely love that, imagine that.’

But passing over the reigns, casting rumours are flying around that Michelle, Jodie and Saoirse are all in the limelight for the next movie
According to betting expert James Leyfield from Gambling.com, he explained: ‘Jodie Comer is the 6/4 favourite on specials betting sites to be the next female lead in a Bond movie’
A betting expert told MailOnline: ‘Michelle, who is 5/2 to be the next Bond Girl, started out in soaps, starring as barmaid Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street for six years. ‘That means she could be an ideal MI6 colleague for Bond.’
Meanwhile, according to the Irish Mirror , Saoirse got the odds of 5/1 to bag the next Bond role as the female lead’
‘That means she already knows how to perfect a martini – shaken, not stirred – but more than that, she could be an ideal MI6 colleague for Bond.’
The expert added: ‘Jodie Comer is the 6/4 favourite on specials betting sites to be the next female lead in a Bond movie.
‘The actress has had the perfect training ground in hit BBC spy thriller Killing Eve, for which she landed a Primetime Emmy Award for her superb portrayal of sociopathic assassin Villanelle.
‘She could be an ideal Bond Girl, but could be just as effective as the main villain in the next Bond movie.
‘The British actress cut her teeth in the likes of medical dramas Casualty and Holby City, as well as school drama Waterloo Road, before getting her big break as Villanelle.’
