Ray Quinn's Bond Ambition

Ray Quinn wants to be the next James Bond.

The 'Dancing On Ice' champion has revealed he would love to play the womanising spy when he gets a bit older.

He said: "My ultimate dream is to be James Bond - maybe when Daniel Craig throws the towel in. He has done it so maybe I can too! I'd definitely give it a few years though. Bond needs to be more mature looking than me. I'll get a few more wrinkles and then who knows."

The 20-year-old also joked about a possible spin-off between the ITV ice-skating show and the British spy film franchise.

He quipped: "A 'Dancing On Ice'/Bond special could be really cheesy and fun - maybe that would work."

Ray - who found fame on reality talent show 'The X Factor' in 2006, where he came second to British singing sensation Leona Lewis - admits he would love to follow in her footsteps and make it big in the US.

He explained to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I'd love to live in Los Angeles or America like Leona and make a life for myself over there."

However, the singer-and-actor is not ready for a move Stateside at the moment- he is considering proposing to girlfriend Emma Stephans.

He added: "I am very much in love at the moment. Emma is absolutely gorgeous. It's early days to think about wedding bells but I wouldn't rule them out just yet, I'm really happy. I don't know about kids just yet, I'm still a child myself - I'm too selfish for kids at the minute, I'm way too busy with myself."
