An insider told The Sun: ‘Everyone was talking about Keir coming for a drink and he was seen driving into the underground car park of the venue around 8pm and left an hour later.
Keir was on top form and was chatting with everyone at the bash. He didn’t stay long but having him there was a real highlight for the guests.
‘Idris got up on the decks for a DJ set and Angela joined him. She turns 80 in October but she was partying hard and looked like she was loving it in the booth with Idris.’
The source added that Idris and his wife Sabrina were the last to head home in the early hours of the morning.
It’s been a busy month for Idris who’s play, Shifters, for which he serves as a producer recently transferred to the West End.
He has worked with Love Island host Maya Jama and rapper Little Simz on the production which has been hailed as ‘beautiful, funny and moving’ by audiences.
It has now been transfered to the Duke Of York’s Theatre after a sold out run at Bush Theatre.
Shifters tells the story of Des and Dre, who come crashing back into each other’s lives and are reminded of their love and time together as teenagers – but their time is limited.

The play – which stars Netflix’s Supacell and Doctor Who star Tosin Cole alongside actress Heather Agyepong – has received high praise.
Audiences have gushed over the heart-wrenching tale, written by Benedict Lombe and directed by Lynette Linton, applauding it for being moving and thought-provoking but also humorous.
The trio, who will produce the play, will be joined by Eleanor Lloyd Productions, Chuchu Nwagu Productions and Sonia Friedman Productions.
Idris said: ‘This play is so well written by Benedict Lombe and so well performed by Heather Agyepong and Tosin Cole, we feel very, very privileged to be a part of its transition into the West End.’
