“What is the vibe of a Harry and Meghan wedding?” host Tiffany Calver asked. “What tune was the one that got everyone going crazy?”

Idris said that attendees “went off” when he played Whitney Houston‘s “I Want to Dance with Somebody” played and added that “Still D.R.E.” by Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg was another huge hit.

“It was Meghan‘s choice,” he said of the rap song.

“Really? I knew I liked them,” Tiffany replied.

Idris had previously said that his DJ set for Meghan and Harry was his “most stressful” gig ever.

“This wasn’t like my cousin’s wedding,” he explained at the time. “This was like, you know, this wasn’t at the community hall, the reception. This was, like a big, big deal.”

He also added that the couple were his “good friends” and he wanted to make sure they had a great time.

A few months ago, Idris was spotted on the set of his show Luther and you can see all the photos here.
