Jack Whitehall joins pal Rafferty Law for a game of football

Jack Whitehall and Raffery Law were seen to be making the most of eased lockdown restrictions in London on Thursday afternoon.

The comedian, 32, and actor, 24, joined a group of friends for a game of football in the Capital, after the city joined Tier 2 at the end of the second lockdown.

The Travels With My Father star opted for an all black ensemble as he rocked a jacket, shorts and leggings with a beanie, while also sporting a green bib. 

Meanwhile, Oliver actor Rafferty was sporting a full white football kit with black socks and boots, while wearing an orange bib for the game.

The son of Jude Law and Sadie Frost opted to finish his sports look by also donning a black beanie hat and a silver chain necklace.

One snap showed Jack kicking the ball while a player from the opposing side sprinted towards him. 

Jack’s appearance comes after he took a savage swipe at the UK government and their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic as he hosted the 23rd GQ Men Of The Year Awards in association with Hugo Boss last week.

The funnyman joked that the star-studded ceremony wouldn’t feature a prize for Politician Of The Year, as he appeared at the London Coliseum without an audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kicking off the show with pared-back opening monologue, Jack said: ‘We’re here at the stunning CT – ah theatres do you remember them? No me neither! We were actually really lucky with this place it was booked for the Bond premiere so we got a good deal.’

Saying the awards were still going ahead despite the ‘s**tastrophe that was 2020,’ he added: ‘Spoiler alert: ‘There is no politician of the year!’

Jack also didn’t hold back in poking fun at the cringeworthy video recorded by stars including Gal Gadot and Jimmy Fallon, as they released a cover of John Lennon’s Imagine, which was heavily criticised at the time for being out-of-touch. 

Revealing they’d be replaying the video to honour the key workers who kept the country going during the pandemic, Jack pressed a button on the control panel, but the music failed to play.

As he frantically turned knobs and pressed buttons, Jack cheekily said: ‘Don’t you want to hear the millionaires singing the beautiful ballad?’ before opting to introduce a performance from Sports Team instead.

Jack spent lockdown with his girlfriend Roxy Horner, who he moved in with after just two weeks of dating so they were able to isolate together.

Meanwhile, Rafferty was recently spotted out with the Marquess of Bute’s daughter, Lola, 21, weeks after he was reportedly seen kissing Brooklyn Beckham’s ex Hana Cross.
