Even David Beckham couldn't stop Benedict Cumberbatch from being the man on every woman's wish list this Valentine's Day.
Benedict Cumberbatch has been named the most desirable Valentine's date by British females, topping the new poll above the lovely likes of David Beckham and Leonardo Dicaprio.
According to the online dating help site datingpriceguide.co.uk, the Sherlock star is the most-wanted man in the UK right now – with 16% off the votes swinging in his (very handsome) favour.
The survey asked 300 women who they'd most like to enjoy a romantic dinner with on February 14th, seeing the British actor beat a long list of Hollywood heartthrobs.
Prince William also joined Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Will Smith among the top 10 names, while Danny Dyer stole 7% of the vote thanks to his newfound soap career.
Benedict Cumberbatch's amazing NTA's acceptance speech could have something to do with his surge in popularity, as he showed us his funny side by appearing via video link in swimming shorts.
All that said, you won't hear us complaining if David Beckham or Leonardo Dicaprio do happen to appear at our candlelit table.
