Bond: Line of Duty star huge new favourite to replace Daniel Craig: Odds slashed overnight

For over a year now only a couple of names have been on everyone’s lips as the next Bond, James Bond.

Tom Hardy and James Norton have been duking it out as the hot favourites, following competing reports that both had already been offered the role.

With nothing officially confirmed, Compston has shot out of nowhere and been cut to staggering new odds to take over the coveted role.

Last week, the Scottish star was a rank outsider in the race, laying low at a paltry 50/1.

Today, he has smashed past famous names like Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Highlander’s Sam Heughan and Bodyguard star Richard Madden.
