HOLLYWOOD actor Idris Elba has agreed to be the guest DJ to help a Bournemouth nightclub celebrate its fourth birthday in April.

Owner of Halo, Ty Temel, said: "We have just confirmed Idris Elba to come and DJ at Halo for our fourth birthday over the April Bank Holiday weekend.

"We've had people like DJ Pete Tong to help us celebrate in the past, but Idris Elba is very selective about which clubs he chooses to DJ at - usually clubs abroad."

Ty added that he expected the club, a former church in Exeter Road, to be at full capacity which is 726 people.

He added: "Despite all the negatives from the beginning, we have won best club three years on the bounce and now we have an Hollywood actor coming to celebrate with us."

More details will be revealed at 8pm on Sunday night via the club's website, halobournemouth.com
