Salma was dressed in an edgy PVC leather cropped jacket and matching black harem trousers as she giggled with Channing, who sported a casual navy blue overcoat during the filming.
The pair were seen laughing together as they prepared for the cameras to start rolling, with the film's crew taking over the London square to film the scenes.
Filming for Magic Mike 3 resumed after Thandiwe exited the film last month, following an alleged bust-up with the movie's producer and star Channing over Will Smith 's Oscars slap - she has denied the incident.
