Soccer Aid winners Usain Bolt and Didier Drogba rack up £15k bar bill boozing to 4am at London nightclub Libertine
IF you reckon Piers Morgan celebrated the hardest after his Rest Of The World team won Soccer Aid, you thought wrong.
I can reveal captain Usain Bolt and star player Didier Drogba didn’t stop boozing until the time co-manager Piers got up to host Good Morning Britain.
The pair, along with a group of close pals, got through £15,000-worth of booze at London club Libertine as they toasted victory against England, who were captained by Sir Mo Farah.
They won 3-1 on penalties in the charity match at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge after the game had ended 2-2.
A source said: “Usain hosted an impromptu party at the club. He was in such a celebratory mood after winning Soccer Aid.
RECORD-BREAKING
“He DJ’d and was talking to fans on the mic as well as drinking Hennessy cognac and Dom Pérignon champagne. He racked up a £15,000 bill with his entourage and they didn’t leave the club until gone 4am.”
Niall Horan, Roberto Carlos and Kem Cetinay, who scored the late equaliser, were also part of Harry Redknapp and Piers’s team.
Soccer Aid has raised a record-breaking £6,774,764 so far — over £1million more than last year’s on-the-night total.
In 2016 Usain boozed until sunrise at a London club after winning three golds for the third Olympics in a row.
Good on him.

RRRIP! Cardi-Bares all
STRAIGHT-talking Cardi B is used to letting rip at her fans, but not quite like this.
The rapper’s multi-coloured catsuit tore open on stage as she twerked at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee, US, on Sunday.
Cardi went off stage after the wardrobe mishap, returning to finish her set wearing this dressing gown.
She then joked with the crowd: “We gonna keep it sexy.
“I don’t know how in this f***ing robe, but we gonna do it.”
More antics like that when she headlines North London’s Wireless festival next month will definitely keep people talking – and watching.

LEWIS Capaldi is made up after Noel Gallagher said: “Who’s this Capaldi fella? Who the f**k’s that idiot?” Lewis, whose debut album is at No1, joked: “Noel Gallagher has slagged me off. This is dreams coming true.”
Bebe: Katy helped me take control
BEBE Rexha says she was left “depressed and stressed out” by social media trolls – until her pop star pal Katy Perry taught her how to deal with them.
The Meant To Be singer was bombarded with negative messages but Katy explained she had a strict ban on reading the posts to avoid feeling down.
Ahead of her performance at the Isle Of MTV Malta festival, which runs from July 8 to 10, Bebe said: “I’ve had days where I’ve read one bad comment and it would ruin my whole day.
“I’ve had days where I’ve been really depressed and stressed out and sad because it really f***s with you. I went on tour with Katy, we were in Brazil and I read a bad tweet that day and I was really bummed out.
“She was like, ‘Do not read those tweets because it’s only going to bring you down.
“You could read 1,000 good ones and you read one bad and it ruins your whole day’.”
But as she prepares to turn 30 in August, Bebe is feeling more positive than ever.
She said: “I feel the most confident I’ve ever felt. I don’t feel like anybody’s opinions bother me . . . I love myself more than I ever have. I just feel unapologetic.”
Silly Spice
VICTORIA Beckham should probably think about changing the pass code on her phone after her latest YouTube video threw up a bit of a gaffe.
Posh accidentally revealed her password to almost 200,000 fans during an interview posted with make-up mogul Anastasia Soare.
Eagle-eyed fans quickly jumped on the mistake and commented below the video about it and the time that it took place during the last week’s clip.
A source close to Posh said: “She had no clue. She didn’t realise until the video came out.”
More of a case of Silly Spice, I think.

Will: Si has it in for me
WILL Young still holds a grudge against former boss Simon Cowell 17 years after he won Pop Idol, the TV show the music mogul was a judge on.
In a fresh attack, he insists Simon has hated him since before he even featured on the contest.
On the David’s Out For A Good Time podcast, released today on Spotify, the singer says: “I remember meeting him in another competition and my whole body went rigid. You know when you get that feeling, ‘I don’t know you but I just don’t like you’.
“I basically stood up to him and I don’t think he’s ever really got over it.
“He’s consistently for the past 18 years been very unpleasant about me.”
Will is hardly being complimentary either . . .
Ketch Ed's ad
KETCHUP-loving Ed Sheeran’s own idea is now a telly commercial – and here are the pictures to prove it.
In an Instagram post in April he said: “Yo @heinz, I have an idea for a TV ad if you wanna do one, if not I won’t be offended.”
The ad, released on Tuesday, sees Ed pull a bottle of ketchup out of his bag and dollop it on his posh meal – to the horror of fellow diners.
Ri's Brit producer
RIHANNA has recruited electronic music producer Palmistry to work on her ninth studio album.
On the Brit – real name Benjy Keating – a source said: “Ri loves his vibe and thinks he could keep her sound edgy.
“He’s regularly in New York to collaborate with her people.”
