Idris Elba, Laura Whitmore and Sir Mo Farah were among the stars partying after the success of Soccer Aid 2022.

The annual event sees stars come together to play a huge charity game of football, with England facing off against the Rest of the World – or World XI- for the 10th instalment since Soccer Aid was founded in 2006.

This year it was a close call, with the game ending in penalties and Lee Mack scoring the winning goal for The World.

Most importantly, the event raised £15million for Unicef.

Stars were out in full force to celebrate at the Nobu Hotel in London, with Idris rocking up to support his pals.

He looked casual in a shirt, jeans and trainers, while his wife Sabrina looked stunning as always in a white dress, black jacket, and some eye-catching red boots.

Sir Mo Farah also made an appearance after playing for England in the game, swapping his football kit for a dapper blue suit.
