Jamie Lawson wants to co-write a Bond theme with pal Ed Sheeran.

The 'Wasn't Expecting That' singer - who was the first artist to sign to Ed's Gingerbread Man Records - has revealed he'd love to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Sam Smith, Adele and Dame Shirley Bassey by recording a song for consideration for the next instalment of the blockbuster British spy thriller franchise, starring Daniel Craig in the titular role of 007.

Jamie - who released his fifth record 'Happy Accidents' last year - exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Why not. Can you get that going?

Jamie Cullum's mother-in-law arrested over hotel bill dispute

Jamie Cullum's mother-in-law Tessa Dahl has been arrested in the U.S. on suspicion of theft. The 60-year-old daughter of famous children's book author Roald Dahl was held in Connecticut in November last year (17) after allegedly refusing to pay a hotel bill, according to the Daily Mail. She checked into the $190-a-night (£140) Interlaken Inn in Lakeville on 27 October. Hotel management contacted police after the author former actress allegedly left without paying her $5,400 (£3,970) bill on 3 November. Tessa, real name Chantal Dahl, is believed to have contacted staff at the Interlaken Inn from another nearby hotel, the White Hart Inn. Connecticut State Police were then called, and arrived at the White Hart Inn and took her into custody after she reportedly refused to pay the outstanding bill. She was later charged with third degree larceny and released on $5,000 (£3,690) bond, court records show. If found guilty, Tessa faces between one and five years in jail. She is due to appear in court in Bantam, Connecticut, on 12 January. Her lawyer Mark Sherman told The Sun Online that the bill has been paid in full and he and Tessa are hoping for an open-and-shut case in court. "The case arose from a misunderstanding," he said. "The hotel has been paid in full. We expect a quick and favorable resolution in court." Tessa is mother to supermodel and author Sophie Dahl, 40, who married musician Jamie in 2010. The fiercely private couple have two daughters, Lyra, six, and four-year-old Margot. Jamie and Sophie have yet to comment on the report.

Sheeran has had the song written for three years but won't reveal the title. Over the past few years, Ed Sheeran has fulfilled many of his dreams and aspirations. Now, he wants to be the composer of the theme for the next James Bond Movie…

Ed Sheeran 's protege Jamie Lawson would love to write songs for Liam Gallagher. The 42-year-old singer/songwriter- who was the first person signed to the 'Shape of You' hitmaker's label Gingerbread Man Records - co- wrote his song 'A Little Mercy' with Simon Aldred

"Maybe that's why he was in the studio [on his last tour], who knows?

"I think he would be good doing that and strangely I wouldn't mind doing one of those either, so maybe we can do one together."

It comes after Ed, 26, recently revealed he wrote a Bond theme three years ago "just in case".

The 'Castle on the Hill' hitmaker has never been approached to write a song for one of the iconic movies, but if bosses of the spy saga do ever knock at his door for help on the soundtrack, he's all ready to go.

He said: "With Bond, I've had a theme tune written for about three years, just in case!"

While the 'Perfect' singer reassured fans his Bond theme is "good", he didn't want to give away any details about the song, including the title.

He said: "I'm not going to say 'cause someone might steal it."
