Sir Idris Elba's wife Sabrina Dhowre Elba has recalled a 'racist' interraction with a 'hostile' driver in London who backed up into her parked car.

Taking to TikTok, the Canadian model, 36, said that the driver 'immediately' asked her where she was from, which she said highlighted how 'people feel increasingly comfortable treating black and brown people as conditional citizens.'

'Something happened a couple days ago that is just not sitting right with me,' she began the video. 'And I don't usually come online when I'm still sort of like flustered or upset.'

'But this woman backed up into my parked car and when I got out to speak to her about the interaction it immediately became hostile.'

'She very quickly asked me "where are you from?", keep in mind this woman backed up into my parked car, and I said 'Canadian' and then she asked again.
