Idris Elba has taken on many huge roles in his career to date: Mandela, Luther, Stringer Bell, Shere Khan in the Jungle Book. But this week he took on a completely different role to those that have come before, hosting Pete Tong's Friday night show on Radio 1.

Idris stepped up to the decks and took over for one night only. Listen back here.

Elba's love of music isn't exactly a secret. He's released a handful of albums and has DJed all around the world under various names (Driis, DJ Driis and Big Driis the Londoner - the latter used when he's behind the decks in the US, just in case they needed any reminder as to who he is).

Idris is no stranger to getting behind the decks, but you might not know he has appeared on a Jay-Z album, had a Christmas song with Noel Fielding and DJed at a Royal Wedding. To mark Idris' star role on Radio 1, let's take a look back at some of the standout moments from his musical journey so far.
