Whilst it has been confirmed that Lara Pulver’s Sherlock character Irene Adler will not be returning to the hit BBC detective series, the actress has revealed that we haven’t seen the last of her just yet.

The flirty minx got right inside Sherlock’s head, and heart a little bit after bombarding him with text messages asking him to meet her for dinner.

Fans of the hit BBC detective series based on the novels of Arthur Conan Doyle with a modern-day twist, will know how filming for the much-anticipated third series began earlier this month, and now pictures have emerged showing the famous hypnotist and magician Derren Brown on set, apparently putting Martin Freeman’s character, John Watson, under a hypnotic trance.
