Idris Elba could have proposed to his girlfriend anywhere in the world, but instead he chose to get down on bended-knee at a screening of one of his own films.

The actor popped the question to partner Sabrina Dhowre on Saturday (10 February) as they watched a preview of his directorial debut 'Yardie' at the Rio Cinema in east London.

The proposal was captured on video by fellow cinema-goers who couldn't quite believe they were watching one of the country's most famous actors ask his girlfriend to marry him.
