BOND'S SECRET LOVES
007 star's Scots ex-wife & co-star
By Julia Hunt

MEET the two secret loves of new Bond star Daniel Craig. Blonde jazz singer Harley Loudon, 37, of Edinburgh, is the mother of his daughter Ella, 12.And reality TV star Jasmine Lennard, 19, claims she has landed the role of Craig's love interest in the new Bond movie Casino Royale.

Craig, 37, met Harley when they were both aspiring young actors.

They married in Edinburgh in July 1992 when Harley was five months pregnant.

Their marital home was a flat in Fulham, London, although Harley gave birth to their daughter in Edinburgh.

Craig - who graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1991 - soon secured work in films such as The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones and The Power of One.

But he didn't find fame until 1996, when he landed a starring role in hit BBC drama Our Friends In The North.

By then, the couple were getting divorced and Harley was granted custody of Ella.

While Craig went on to pick up roles in hit films such as Sylvia with Gwyneth Paltrow, Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie and Layer Cake with Sienna Miller, his ex-wife kept a low profile.

In 1993, she wrote and appeared in Storm In A Teacup, a ballroom drama with jazz, while in 1996, she played page three girl Gloria Cupcake in A Satire of the Four Estaites at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Her only movie credit is The Legend of Loch Lomond, a Scottish Enterprise film by Mike Slee to promote the area, which was shown at the Imax cinema in Alexandria.

Harley's most recent work includes performing at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London and recording an album with Rod Blake.

She said: "I was already composing lyrics in my head for Rod's music long before we decided to work together."

Reality TV star Jasmine - who was branded a superbitch for her tantrums on Channel Five's Make Me A Supermodel and Trust Me I'm A Holiday Rep - is following in her mum's footsteps by landing a part as a Bond girl. Her mother - Marilyn Galsworthy - was eaten by sharks in The Spy Who Loved Me.

Revealing her Bond role, Jasmine said: "It's really hush-hush.

"I'm not sure which girl I'll be playing yet but I don't want to be a stereotypical Bond girl.

"It would be more fun to be the villain - I know all about that.

"Since appearing in Make Me A Supermodel, I'm continually being cast as the bad girl Jasmine - who appears in Guy Ritchie's current box-office flop Revolver - was labelled the most irritating woman on TV after Make Me A Supermodel.

She was booted off the show in the early stages by judge Rachel Hunter and took revenge on the Aussie model, ex-wife of Scots rocker Rod Stewart, by claiming she was built like a "quarter-back".

The film of Casino Royale, based on the first book by 007's Scots creator Ian Fleming, is due to be released next year
