Sam Smith has been talking candidly about who he thinks will be singing the theme tune for the new James Bond flick, Spectre, out later this year.

Putting paid to gossip that it could be him, this morning Sam Smith told Capital London Breakfast show hosts Dave Berry & Lisa Snowdon that he has heard Ellie Goulding may succeed Adele in providing the vocals for the much anticipated sound track.

Check out the transcript below, speakers are:
DB ‘ Dave Berry
LS ‘ Lisa Snowdon
SS ‘ Sam Smith

DB – ‘Sam Smith, what is going on with the Bond theme? Please give us all an exclusive.’
SS – ‘I actually have no idea. People seem to think I’m doing it but I have absolutely no idea what’s going on.’
DB – ‘Samuel Smith.’
SS – ‘I’m being deadly serious!”
LS – ‘Do you think you would have recorded it by now if you were actually doing it?’
SS – ‘I really think I would know by now! I heard Ellie Goulding was going to do it, I heard loads of different things.’
DB – ‘Oh really? ‘
SS – ‘Yeah, it’s definitely not me.’
LS – ‘Oh, we were rooting for you.’
SS – ‘I know. I’d love to do it. I’d love to do it.’
LS – ‘Maybe next year, or the year after.’
DB – ‘You’d wanna do a Daniel Craig one really wouldn’t you, ideally?’
SS – ‘I don’t know. I’d just love to do it but it’d be a dream to do, wouldn’t it?”
