At one point the female model undid Benedict's dressing gown belt- no doubt to better display the luxury top and bottoms underneath.

Benedict clearly took to his role with gusto, saying: 'I was really nervous about doing the show but after I'd had a couple of whiskies it was a doodle.'

'Loved wearing the dressing gown. Even got the model's boyfriend to turn a blind eye whilst she undid the belt,' he added.

The actor is hardly a stranger to public displays of intimacy, having caused a stir during the last season on Sherlock when he acted a scene opposite his fully naked co-star Laura Pulver.

Laura - who played a dominatrix-style Irene Adler in the show- wore just Louboutins and diamond earrings, eschewing the optional self-adhesive gel bra and pants.

She recently revealed that the scene- which appears in A Scandal in Belgravia- took over eight hours to shoot.

'I think the human form is something to celebrate. And you don't actually see anything,' Lara revealed.
'That's why we spent eight hours shooting that scene because if you saw a tiny bit of nipple...
'It is so cleverly shot by [director] Paul McGuigan, that it is what you don't see that makes your imagination go crazy.'

The actress said that she was pleasantly surprised by the public's reaction to her chemistry with Benedict's Sherlock.

'I thought I would get lovers of Benedict going, "He can't have a love interest" but it was the complete opposite,' Lara told the Evening Standard.

'I think they enjoyed the match of the two of us.'

'If it had just been about a sexual attraction, people would have thought: "Why her? There are people who are more beautiful."'
