Ed Sheeran reveals he has already written a James Bond theme

Ed Sheeran has revealed he has already written a James Bond theme. 

The star was speaking on Ireland's The Late Late Show over the weekend and revealed that although he hasn't had the call from 007 producers as yet, he's already written a theme and it's ready to go. 

He said: "With Bond, I've had a theme tune written for about three years, just in case. I just recently did a song with one of my all-time heroes Eminem, and when we did a song together I already had the song planned, because I was like if ever I work with Eminem I've got this song. So it's the same with Bond... If ever I'm called, I'll be like, 'Right, here you go.'"

The star wouldn't give away the title though, for fear that "someone might steal it".
