Idris Elba auctions himself as Valentine's date for charity

Attention all single ladies: If you're still looking for a Valentine's date this year, Idris Elba has put himself up for auction and for a good cause.

The 44-year-old actor, best known for Luther, is guaranteeing one lucky lady a romantic "candlelit meal at one of his favorite restaurants," according to BBC. Flights and four-star hotel accommodations are included. And while the highest bidder is enjoying her date with the British actor, young women in Africa will get the benefit of a good education as all proceeds will go towards WE (Women Everywhere) Can Lead, a charity that works to educate and empower women in Africa.

In addition to dinner, the bidder will also be able to enjoy cocktails, truffles and desserts with Elba.

"I'll let you pound my yams," Elba even promised in an online video before tossing back a glass of champagne.

Donations start at $10 and bidding ends on Feb. 14.
