Every year, rumours swirl. ‘Who has?’, ‘who hasn’t?’, every year we can’t help but get sucked in.
The latest clue to who has recorded the song for new James Bond film Spectre has thrown up Radiohead as surprise favourites.
Bookmakers William Hill have suspended betting on who has got the job for the new 007 movie after a bet of £15,000 was placed on the group by an anonymous customer in Middlesex.
Ellie Goulding had been leading the charge as the most likely artist to have recorded the song, but the Oxford band have overtaken her.
William Hill spokesperson Rupert Adams said: “The first gamble of the day was Ellie Goulding and punters were backing her as if she already had the gig, but just as we were thinking of pulling the plug we had a load of bets for Radiohead including one customer who asked to place a £15,000 bet on the band at 10/1.
“There seem to be all kinds of rumours and the plot has had more twists and turns than a classic Bond tale, but surely nobody risks £15,000 on a hunch.”
This week Ellie further fuelled speculation she had recorded the ‘Spectre’ theme when she posted an image of herself leaving London’s famous Abbey Road Studios where tracks are typically recorded.

Fans were quick to ask what the singer whether it means Bond – or a new album.
