Benedict Cumberbatch Gets Engaged, Announces it in Most Sherlock Way Ever

If Sherlock Holmes were to get hitched - not that he would ever get tethered to someone, he's far too busy for that sort of jape - how would he announce it? Via 'The Times', under the births, marriages and deaths notices, of course. Yes, he's classy like that.

And Benedict Cumberbatch himself is a chip off the old Sherlock for he choose to announce it the very same way. His very lucky fiancée is 36-year-old theatre director Sophie Hunter. You can read all about her parents' names etc below. And, yes, Benedict's ma's name is Wanda. Amazing.

Despite the Cumberbatch-Hunters going to the bother of posting an advert, the editor of 'The Times' only saw it fit to post a small story about their union on, wait for it, page 20... PAGE TWENTY.

There is only one question left to ask. Is this the walk he'll do up the aisle to wait for Sophie?

Now, who needs a nice cup of tea after that?
