He’s always been a bit of hero in our eyes but Keira Knightley has this week been waxing lyrical about how Benedict Cumberbatch defended her honour against an uncouth journalist.

“When I saw him [Benedict] again, I said, ‘Did you punch a journalist?’ and he was like, ‘I f***ing did.’ Everybody needs a friend like that,” she said.
