Soul star Joss Stone will star in a James Bond computer game.
A digital version of Stone will star as the femme fatale Nicole Hunter in James Bond 007: Blood Stone, the agent’s new video game.
Speaking at the game’s London launch, Stone said: ”I’m the first Bond girl from the West Country – instead of Martini in my glass I’m drinking cider and nobody will ever know.
And the singer pointed out: ”I’m the first Bond girl with a nose ring.”
The Brit Award-winning artist has also penned an original song for the game with Eurythmics star Dave Stewart – swapping her R&B sound for something more ”Shirley Bassey”, she said.
”Oh my God, Shirley Bassey rocks and nobody will ever get to there,” Stone said.
”She’s really powerful but there’s no ad-libbing or warbling because it wasn’t needed. I was just inspired by her and I tried to sing it in a really straight, powerful way.
”But I haven’t really got a big voice like Christina Aguilera or somebody, it’s trickery, I’m just loud and I can fake it a little bit.”
Stone said she played her Bond girl a ”bit like a posh version of Paris Hilton”.
The game is not her first acting role. She has previously played ”the ugliest woman in Europe” – Anne of Cleaves – in BBC2’s The Tudors, so a Bond girl was an ”ego boost”.
”I would love, love, love to be Bond’s girl in the next film,” she said.
”Obviously that would never happen, but I would love to do more acting, it’s basically dressing up and making pretend, it’s what little kids do, it’s a right laugh.”
She was disappointed she did not meet Daniel Craig – who stars as the voice of 007 in the new game, as he does on screen – as she finds him ”incredibly hot”.
James Bond 007: Blood Stone will be in shops this Christmas for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.

And we dedicate the same song to the mother’s from all over the world: “Mama” by Spice Girls
She used to be my only enemy and never let me free
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn’t be
Every other day I crossed the line
I didn’t mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend
I never had
Back then I didn’t know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
My friend
I didn’t want to hear it then
But I’m not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you
Said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about
About the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility
Back then I didn’t know why
why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
My friend
Mama I love you, mama I care
Mama I love you, mama my friend
You’re my friend, you’re my friend
But now I’m sure I know why,
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All I can give you is love
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
My friend
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
You’re my friend
Ohhh, (you’re my friend)
Mama my love (you’re my friend)
Ohhh, mama my love
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
Me loving you, you loving me
A love that’s true and guaranteed
Me loving you, me loving you
You loving me, you loving me
A love that’s true, a love that’s true
And guaranteed, so true
