Benedict Cumberbatch has hit out at the "obsessive, deluded and scary" behaviour some of his fans indulge in, saying it's "stalking".
He’s always enjoyed the “Cumberbitches” and doesn’t seem to take the whole thing too seriously – but now, so-called fans have started to say that his marriage to wife Sophie Hunter is a PR stunt.

Individual nominees in the TV categories get 2 tickets, and anything after that has to be footed by the nominee...which is fair enough.
The X Factor TV3 has people switching off in their droves. Apparently, they have lost tens of thousands of fans, and is down 14% from 2015.
