You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out that Benedict Cumberbatch's love life is really hotting up.

The actor was sunning himself in Ibiza as Russian model Katia Elizarova cuddled up to him in a skimpy bikini. While they relaxed by the pool, the Sherlock star lovingly stroked 26-year-old Katia's arm.

The couple were on the Spanish party island for the wedding of pals Seth Cummings and Rob Rinder.

Benedict, 37, who is filming a new Sherlock series, officiated at the ceremony. Before the big day he said: "Of course, I'm going to make a joke after it if it goes well - 'I do weddings. Next will be children's parties and bat mitzvahs'."

The actor and 5ft 9in Katia - a former ballerina - were later seen sharing a kiss.

Ray Stevenson Loves Life On Ibiza

The Three Musketeers star Ray Stevenson loves island life on Ibiza, insisting it conjures up romantic notions of life as a pirate.

The British actor, who plays Porthos in the new movie adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas novel, has been at home on the fabled Mediterranean party isle for years - and he wouldn't trade it for anything.

He tells Black Book magazine, "It's like a gypsy island. Ibiza is like a port where you sail in on your boat, scrape the barnacles off, and take off again."

And he insists the place isn't all parties and nightclubs: "Most people who share that view of the island have never been. It's got the biggest clubs in the world, sure, but you don't have to be part of that scene."
