BENEDICT Cumberbatch has revealed his character Sherlock Holmes was in love with dominatrix Irene Adler
He says the detective definitely fell for Irene, who appeared in A Scandal in Belgravia — the first episode of the second series of hit BBC1 show Sherlock.
Benedict said: "Well, he's supposedly an asexual, emotionless machine, and has cut off feelings of attraction or sensory enjoyment or interest in the female form other than to gain information. "So it was how to get the audience to believe that you could possibly be in a position that was vulnerable - how could he possibly be feeling something for this woman?
"But the thing about (Irene) that is very obvious when you read (the 1891 short story by Sherlock's creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in which the character first appears) is Sherlock definitely does fall for her and he does lose his cool. "He's no longer the logical machine. He fell for her charms. "And so it was a balancing act, but it was so deftly written (by the show's co-creator Steven Moffat) that it was so easy to do."
Actress Lara Pulver, who played Irene, certainly made an impression on viewers after filming one scene entirely naked except for a pair of high heels.
