Benedict Cumberbatch has spoken about his character Sherlock Holmes' sex life, saying that he is no longer a virgin.

The actor, who plays the famous detective in the popular BBC series, told Elle that although it was implied that Sherlock is a virgin in the premiere of the second series, this may no longer be the case.

When asked if he would like to see Sherlock have sex in the show, Cumberbatch replied: "Oh, he has. He shagged Irene Adler, that night they had together when he rescued her from a beheading."

However, the actor said that he would not like to see Sherlock get together with pathologist Molly, who seems to have a crush on him.
