It's usually the purview of British tabloids, but mainland Europe is getting in on the act of spinning rumours of actresses and models for the seasonal 'next Bond girl' news cycle.

According to several news outlets in Germany, a Swedish professional dancer is being considered for a part in Bond 24. Back in 2010, when Isabel Edvardsson found fame as a jury member of the TV show 'Let's Dance' in Germany, she posed for the country's edition of Playboy. Four years on, it is reported that a member of the Bond 24 production team came across her recently in that very issue and she is now under consideration for the minor 'Scandinavian' Bond girl role for the film.
