Martin split from his ex-wife and Sherlock co-star Amanda Abbington in 2016, after 16 years together. The former couple share two children, Joe, 14, and Grace, 11. 

Amanda revealed in her candid interview that she kept her high-profile break up a secret for six months and that she and Martin just couldn’t live with each other anymore.

Talking to the The Sunday Times magazine, she said: ‘When we broke up nobody knew, we didn’t tell anybody except for a few key people because they had to know, because of the logistics of hotels and stuff.’

‘We still get on really well, we still really both admire each other as actors… he’s a great guy, but we just couldn’t live with each other any more.’

In July, the creators of BBC series Sherlock listed the likes of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Jodie Comer and Olivia Colman as their top candidates to play the title roles, if ever the gender was flipped around.

During an online Q&A, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, co-creators of the BBC drama, responded to the question posed by a fan of the show, detailing who they’d want to replace Martin and Benedict Cumberbatch.

‘There’s quite a few [possibilities],’ said Moffat, who named Colman. 

Gatiss added Waller-Bridge to the mix. Both she and Colman appeared in Emmy winning series Fleabag.

‘I quite like the idea of Michelle Gomez,’ Moffat added, having worked with her on Doctor Who.

Sherlock producer Sue Vertue hinted at Jodie Comer, who rose to fame in Doctor Foster and is now known for playing Villanelle in Killing Eve.
