ONE of the most coveted female roles in Hollywood could soon be filled by Bolton actress Helen Flanagan.

The former Coronation Street star has been touted for a possible role in the up-coming Bond 24, which could start filming in 2015.

The 23-year-old is keeping tight-lipped on her chances following rumours of her holding a meeting with casting directors at MGM.

It is thought if she is chosen she would be one of a number of actresses in the movie.

The latest adventure featuring Britain’s most famous spy will be directed by Sam Mendes, who directed Bond’s previous outing, Skyfall.

The new film will see Daniel Craig star once again as the secret agent with a licence to kill but no other official details have been released so far.

Helen, pictured, recently bared all for her new calendar and in May she was named the sexiest woman in the UK by in the men’s magazine FHM poll.

She is set to star as a bullying victim in film the Bitch, which will start production next month. She recently wrote on Twitter: “So excited to film in November.”

Many actresses have graced the big screen as a Bond girl, including Gemma Arterton, Halle Berry, Rosamund Pike, Bérénice Marlohe and Tonia Sotiropoulou.

Helen is best known for playing Rosie Webster in the long-running ITV soap for 12 years before, quitting last year.
