He's already been the subject of numerous steamy man-on-man fan fiction scenes with Watson, but now it looks like Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock has been officially outed by the actor himself.

Speaking to The Nerdist podcast, the 38-year-old star was asked about the similarities between his Holmes and Doctor Who.

"One uses a sonic screwdriver and time travel and the other uses his brain and isn't 900 years old and isn't reincarnated," he replied.

"Sherlock talks fast and is clever, that's literally the only bracket they share. They've got different dress senses, different tastes in the sex of their partners..."

Whoah Nelly!

The star didn't elaborate on his bombshell - but it is sure to be welcomed by many fans.

The show's first series featured a running joke about Sherlock and Martin Freeman's Watson being in a relationship - and Cumberbatch has previously revealed that they shot a scene in a gay club for one episode, but it ended up on the cutting room floor.
