Callum Turner, 36, has resigned as a director of TwentyTwo Films Ltd, the production company he co-founded with pop star wife Dua Lipa last August, amid reports that screen tests for the James Bond role took place at Bray Studios in Berkshire over the weekend.

Turner is reportedly 'making all the right moves' and commitment to Bond is 'a top priority of the producers.'

Dua Lipa, 31, has installed lawyer David Farquharson as replacement director of TwentyTwo Films.

Turner is placed alongside Jack Lowden and Josh O'Connor — all aged 36 — in a final shortlist of between three and five candidates.
