Sadly, James Corden wasn't eligible to enter Idris Elba's Valentine's Day charity dating auction.

If he had been, though, we know exactly how their date would have shaped up: a romantic scooter ride for two around the UK's capital city.

In the clip above, Elba explains how he offered a date with himself to raise money for the charity WE Can Lead.

"We can go driving on my scooter 'round London," says Elba, when asked what the date might involve.

"Oh, I'd love a ride on your scooter," responds Corden. "And I don't even mean that in the way it sounds... I'd feel so safe."

We hear you, James.
