EXCLUSIVE Idris Elba, 52, puts on a very steamy display with wife Sabrina, 35, as he feeds the model cherries during wild Usher concert in London
Video shows the moment the rapper, 46, approached the Luther actor, 52, and the glamorous model, 35, as they enjoyed a date night at a VIP table at his show.
The couple, who have been married since 2019, couldn't contain their smiles as Usher sang, 'Sabrina you're looking so lovely tonight during a date with your husband'.
During his performances, the singer has a popular tradition of handing out cherries to female audience members, particularly during his song, There Goes My Baby but on Tuesday he left it to Idris to feed them to his wife.
Handing Idris two cherries to feed his stunning partner, Usher sang, 'And now right now Idris, I'm going to let you feed your lovely lady in front of all this people tonight, oh yeah, come on'.
Idris stood up beaming as he held the fruit above Sabrina, who laughed before opening her mouth and eating the cherries one at a time from her husband's hand.

Idris cut a cool figure for the night in a white bomber jacket while Sabrina caught the eye during the steamy exchange in a stylish black sleeves dress.
Usher looked thrilled that the couple were happy to take part in his show, which was his penultimate date at the London venue following a 10-night residency.
It comes after a concertgoer from one of Usher's recent shows spoke out on wild rumours that her husband filed for divorce over a steamy on-stage moment.
The rapper has been performing a string of concerts at London's O2 Arena, and footage from his show on April 1 featured him delivering a seductive serenade to a woman in the audience.
The clip, which has been widely circulated on social media, showed Usher singing to the woman in the audience, while she performed her own dance moves.
Following a tradition which has been a fixture at his shows in the capital, Usher then pulled out a cherry which he proceeded to feed to the woman.
A clip of the steamy exchange went viral online, with Instagram account The Uncuttt then claiming that the woman's husband has filed for divorce over the exchange.
The viral post claimed that the husband was upset that his wife, who 'has never kissed him in public,' appeared intimately engaged with a 'complete stranger in the presence of 20,0000 people'.
However, the allegation had not been verified, and the woman in the video, Jimalita Tillman, has since given an interview denying the claims.
Jimalita, who hails from Chicago and works as the global director of the Harold Washington Cultural Center in the city, told WGN News that she was 'single'.
She said: 'That is completely false. I am single. I am a retired homeschool mom looking to expand the arts here and across the pond. I am single. You got a cherry, give me a jingle.
'When he came around with those cherries, I said, "Well, life is a bowl of cherries, I'll take one, maybe two."'
Jimalita added that she hasn't spoken to Usher since the exchange, saying: 'I don't want him or his camp to feel uncomfortable. The moment was beautiful, and I'm embracing it.'
Usher - whose full name is Usher Terry Raymond IV - is set to close out his staggering tour at the O2 for one more night on May 8.
The singer has been wowing crowds of around 200,000 people every night with his hits like Yeah, Burn, U Remind Me and OMG.
And it is not the first time Idris and Sabrina have put on a loved-up display in public as the actor playfully kissed his wife last year while on stage at the 55th annual NAACP Image Awards at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
The couple looked more loved up than ever as they presented an award together.
Idris seemed in good spirits as he couldn't keep his hands off his glamorous wife as he snuggled up to her on stage.
The Golden Globe Award star looked handsome in a gorgeous black suit that he paired with a black dress shirt and matching tie. Meanwhile Sabrina turned heads in a brown cowl neck gown that hugged her amazing figure.
The couple presented Fantasia Barrino with the Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture award for The Color Purple award.

Inside Gino D'Acampo's ‘mastermind plan' to be uncancelled as axed ITV star goes on ‘apology tour' after allegations
FIVE months after being sacked by ITV over his 'inappropriate and intimidating' behaviour, celebrity chef Gino G'Acampo has embarked on an 'apology tour' in a desperate bid to be 'uncancelled'. As The Sun revealed last week that Gino, 48, is planning to embark on some new business ventures in Australia, insiders tell us he is also masterminding a secret plan to save his career in the UK. 7 Those in the know tell us that the Italian TV chef has hatched a strategy to use his social media platforms, a place where he feels he can control his image and narrative, to win back the public. 'The power of persuasion' A source familiar with the situation explains: "TV bosses can refuse to put him on air but no one can stop him from having a voice on social media. "He can use that platform to stay connected with those who have stuck by him, reform his image for those who have turned their back on him and, he hopes, win over a new fanbase." But already it looks like Gino's endeavours on his social channels are landing badly. Just this month, Gino made a painfully transparent attempt to challenge claims he created an uncomfortable working environment. Posting footage of him hugging, kissing and holding hands with some of his restaurant staff during a recent visit to his Italian chain in Newcastle, Gino said: 'Another fantastic day with my team. 'I've always said… A happy kitchen creates fantastic food.' He chose Mark Ambor's song 'Belong Together' to play over the video. Our source continues: "The happy cheery corporate videos on Instagram are always part and parcel of any apology tour. Gino wants to maintain a united front and thinks the power of persuasion goes a long way. "Gino hopes people will see it and think 'he's such a nice, down to earth guy, not too high and mighty to work in his own restaurant and look at everyone getting on with him, having laughs and banter'." Gino D'Acampo slammed for 'highly inappropriate' cooking video as fans say 'that's disturbing and upsetting' However, amid his increase in social media content, Gino came under fire for posting a 'highly inappropriate' video involving two live quails that was described as 'disturbing and upsetting'. The unapologetic chef was seen kissing the two birds in one shot before dangling their corpses in another - choosing Bob Marley's hit Three Little Birds as the accompanying music. It comes after more than 40 people described "unacceptable", "distressing" and "horrendous" experiences while working with Gino over a 12-year period. Despite ITV yanking his shows off air, including a brand new series of Family Fortunes, the TV chef - who denies any wrongdoing - is refusing to accept his television career is over. Soft rebrand As well as ramping up his presence on content creation online, last month, Gino announced he's filming a new cooking show, An Italian in Malta. It's not known which production company it's been picked up by or when it will air. An insider told The Sun: "Gino knows he's persona non grata at ITV, so the plan now is to rebuild his reputation elsewhere quietly and carefully. "He's been telling people this new travel series is about food and culture, but really it's a soft rebrand. If it lands well internationally, he can turn around and say, 'look, I've still got it'. "Gino thinks he's being smart about not throwing himself straight back into the UK spotlight. The idea is to go away, be seen working, stay visible, but not too visible and then come back once the dust has settled." 7 7 7 'A welcome distraction' It is understood that Gino is secretly relieved that other presenters are copping the heat in the public eye too. "With Gregg Wallace's scandal exploding, as well as John Torode's recent sacking, there's a sense that the spotlight might shift and the focus will be on him. He's hoping by using the distraction, he can quietly edge back into the fold. "He's not naive, he knows he's not getting a primetime ITV slot anytime soon. But if he proves he can behave and audiences abroad respond well, the UK execs might just look twice. "It's early days, but there's talk of him expanding the format to other countries if Malta and Ireland go well. He's already been in touch with producers in southern Europe about spin-offs." It's believed Gino is also pinning hopes on his upcoming ventures in Australia paving the way for him to get back into good graces in Blighty too. Gino is set to split his time between the UK and Down Under over the next few years, as he is planning to launch two new restaurants and a cookware line in Oz. 'He's been inundated with offers Down Under following a really successful tour there," a source told us. 'He spent some time in Australia a few years ago, and loved it. He still has a large social media following and plans to capitalise on that in the next stage of his career.' It's thought that Gino hopes he'll land more TV work in Australia, which might then encourage British telly bosses to take another chance on him. "Gino knows it won't be easy, but he's confident he can rebuild his reputation and one day, he's convinced he will be back on UK screens." Gino was a regular chef on This Morning from 2009 - forming a close friendship with then-hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. But when an ITV News report in February first revealed the allegations against Gino on set, Holly distanced herself publicly from her once firm friend. His former ITV co-stars Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix also appear to have stepped back from their friendship. In 2022 an internal investigation into Gino was launched at production company Betty TV in relation to alleged inappropriate behaviour and language on the set of Gino's Italy – Like Mamma Used to Make. The production company Objective Media Group said in an email seen by ITV in 2024 that issues also arose in 2023 on the Emission Impossible set. Gino told ITV News at the time: "I would not do anything that I thought would upset or distress anyone. This is simply not in my nature. I do not recognise the version of events being put to me. "Not only have these allegations never been raised with me before, I have been repeatedly supported by executives at the highest level and was commissioned on prime-time programmes during the period in which it is now suggested I was acting inappropriately. "I am a father, husband and have worked with well over 1,500 people on around 80 productions in my career, which I have been so proud of. I take such matters extremely seriously and the suggestion that I have acted in an improper way against is deeply upsetting." The Sun has approached Gino for comment.
