Idris Elba’s fiancée hopes he doesn’t land James Bond role — as she worries he won’t have time for housework
PLAYING James Bond may be a hugely coveted role – but IDRIS ELBA’s fiancée hopes he does NOT land the job.
Sabrina Dhowre fears she would end up doing all the Hoovering and other chores around the house.
In a rare interview, she has revealed Idris’s domestic skills leave a lot to be desired and he would be too busy to clean up at all if he became 007.
Sabrina says: “He supports gender equality but we don’t always share all the chores at home because he works so much.
“I can’t imagine what it would be like being married to the next James Bond but I’d imagine he’d be ten times as busy as he is now. I didn’t realise how busy he was. But we both do what we can. He’s the perfect guy.”
To be fair, I can’t imagine Bond on his hands and knees in a pair of marigolds.
After getting together a year ago, Idris proposed to Sabrina on stage at a screening of his film Yardie last month.
She says: “The proposal was crazy. I was so shocked. It’s a bit jarring being thrust into the spotlight but I support everything Idris does and it’s nice to be able to be with someone who you can go through all these experiences with.”
She insists she is still a down-to-earth girl with a normal job, saying: “I love how everyone thinks I’m a model and an actress — but actually I’m in PR.”
At least that means Sabrina can afford to fork out for some help around the house if Idris doesn’t clean up his act.

BIZARRE COLUMN
Sheridan swiped out
SHE hasn’t been the luckiest in love so I would understand why SHERIDAN SMITH might try her luck on Tinder.
But the actress had to take action against the dating app after someone posted a fake profile posing as her.
The account featured six snaps and listed her job as being at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London’s West End, where she starred in the stage show Flare Path. The bio read: “I like changing my hair colour, dogs, laughing and sleeping.” One singleton who chatted to the person behind the profile said: “She was quite flirty at first but as soon as I asked her about her job it got her back up a bit.”
A spokesman for Sheridan confirmed the account was fake and had been reported.
The actress was linked to ex-wrestler Stuart Tomlinson in December but nothing has been heard from them since.
Perhaps giving dating apps a go might not be such a bad idea.
Iggy sheer looks good
IGGY AZALEA’s music might not make much of a splash any more, but she can still make a statement on a red carpet.
She wore this revealing black gown at Sunday night’s iHeartRadio Awards in California, weeks after new single Saviour featuring QUAVO missed out on a spot in the UK top 40.
BEBE REXHA also stunned in a slinky silver gown at the bash while host HAILEY BALDWIN opted for a plunging gold jumpsuit. And PARIS HILTON took to the stage to present the Cutest Musician’s Pet gong with her plus one – Chihuahua puppy Diamond Baby – before CAMILA CABELLO performed.
It was a good night for ONE DIRECTION members, with NIALL HORAN and HARRY STYLES scooping two awards each, and LOUIS TOMLINSON picking up the Best Solo Breakout prize.
Stormz ahead
STORMZY and MAYA JAMA are considered a dream couple – but their romance has hit a bump.
The rapper yesterday unfollowed his telly host girlfriend of three years. It spells trouble for the couple, who looked distant when they were at the Brit Awards last month.
And Maya added fuel to the rumours, appearing to refer to herself by posting lyrics to 2011 DRAKE song I’m So Proud Of You on Instagram after he cut ties with her on the photo-sharing site.
She wrote: “Everything’s adding up, you’ve been through hell and back but girl you’re bad as f*** and you know you are.”
The couple were interviewed in January when Maya was asked about the secret to their romance.
She said: “The fact that we love each other. That’s the main thing, right?” Last night neither star would comment, but Maya was still following the grime ace.
At least it should offer inspiration for his next album.
Still on for wed Sheeran
ED SHEERAN may be about to get married in secret after all.
He sparked rumours he had wed fiancée Cherry Seaborn when he wore a gold band on his ring finger last month, which he later clarified was a commitment ring. But singer pal ANNE-MARIE said she is expecting a covert ceremony.
Despite his mountains of celebrity friends, Anne-Marie, who will support Ed on his upcoming tour, said: “I think it’s going to be a low-key thing.
“I don’t think he’d do a big hoo-ha. I feel like it’s going to be quite intimate.”
And the singer, whose new single Friends is at No 5 in the chart, admitted she is yet to receive an invite.
She explained: “I did ask him. I was like, ‘Am I invited to the wedding?’ And he was like, ‘Nah’.
“I think he’s mugging me off. But no, I can’t wait to find out what he’s doing for it.
“I love them both so much – they’re a really great couple. I’m glad he’s getting married.”
She might want to hold off on buying a hat just yet.
It's Wom Bastille
BASTILLE are following in the footsteps of McBUSTED and BOYZLIFE by forming a supergroup with THE WOMBATS.
Frontmen DAN SMITH and MATTHEW MURPHY have been spending time together in the studio writing tracks for a new project to launch this year.
In an exclusive chat, The Wombats’ Murph said: “I’ve been working with Dan.
“It’s this new project that I’m starting. It’s not really a solo project but it’s a new thing.
“I’ve got five or six songs together.
“I’m just waiting for it all to come into place, and put it online and see if people like it.”
The Wombats are currently on tour around the UK, and will be playing London’s Alexandra Palace on March 27.
I’m sure fans wouldn’t mind if Dan joined them on stage too.
Op puts Bandits on the back foot
CLEAN BANDIT have been on the road for the best part of four years, but that’s about to stop.
They have been forced to cancel their five-week US tour, which was due to kick off in a fortnight, because drummer LUKE PATTERSON needs surgery.
In a message posted on Twitter, he wrote: “Some of you might know that I’ve had this problem with my foot for the last few years. I’ve tried all sorts of methods to fix it but the time has now come for me to have surgery.
“I’m going to be fine, but unfortunately it means that we will have to cancel our upcoming US tour.
“We’ll be using this time to perfect all these banging new tunes that we’ve been working on.”
Well, at least there is a silver lining.
Tayl of 2 winks
FROM KANYE WEST to KATY PERRY, TAYLOR SWIFT has plenty of enemies.
Now she could be adding more after she was accused of ripping off last year’s award-winning Kenzo fragrance ad in the video for her new single Delicate, which sees her doing the splits on a car bonnet in a rain storm.
Many fans cried foul after she unveiled it at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. The American chart-topper is earlier seen dancing in a hotel lobby while pulling silly faces in very similar images to what US actor MARGARET QUALLEY does in the Kenzo promo
It’s not the first time Taylor has been accused of ripping off visuals – fans also claimed she copied BEYONCE’s Formation video when she dropped her Look What You Made Me Do promo.
It sounds like she needs a crash course in how to avoid claims of plagiarism.
-COUNTRY legend TIM McGRAW is on the mend after collapsing on stage during a music festival in Dublin. The singer gave a thumb’s up while leaving his hotel in London with wife FAITH HILL yesterday. On Sunday, he cut short his set at the Country To Country festival after suffering with dehydration and dropped to his knees after performing his song Humble And Kind.
On the run
BEYONCE bad-mouthed hubby JAY Z over his infidelity for 45 minutes on last album Lemonade – but there will be no chance of him playing away on his next tour.
The couple have revealed they will hit the road together again this year with their On The Run II tour – four years after the original string of shows.
It kicks off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on June 6 before heading to Hampden Park in Glasgow on June 9, Manchester’s Etihad Stadium on June 13 and the London Stadium on June 15.
After those shows Jay and Bey will continue around Europe before returning to North America to perform until October, with tickets going on sale next Friday, March 23.
Jay had better get learning those Beyonce dance moves.
Jukebox
THERE are loads of tunes out this week – and I bring you the best of the bunch.
My Bizarre Jukebox Spotify playlist is updated every Tuesday with 15 tracks from my top artists and the best new talent. Here are four from this week’s list.
Stop Me From Falling: She has spent more than three decades in the pop world but KYLIE MINOGUE is still at the top of her game with the second single from album Golden. Just like the first track Dancing, it has a cute, catchy, country-pop vibe.
Colors: The official anthem for this year’s World Cup by JASON DERULO has landed. The Coke-sponsored track is all about the excitement that comes with the arrival of the world’s biggest football tournament. Can’t say I share the same feeling.
Sanctify: OLLY ALEXANDER bares all in YEARS & YEARS’ comeback track – which is all about his secret flings with straight men. He said: “I was inspired to write a song about that experience in a way that connects to my own coming out journey.”
Fire In Me: After nearly two years off the radar, JOHN NEWMAN is back doing what he does best – belting out a powerhouse banger that is guaranteed to light up dancefloors. I’m sure there will be plenty more to come from John in the months ahead.
