Mrs Watson’s bag stolen as she picks up Sherlock Emmy
CALL for Sherlock! Amanda Abbington fears she had her bag stolen at the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles when she went on stage to accept the Outstanding TV Movie award for Sherlock: The Abominable Bride.
‘We went up to collect the Emmy, did some press, came back to my seat and some b ***** d had nicked my purse from under my seat,’ says Abbington, who plays the on-screen wife of her off-screen partner Martin Freeman in Sherlock.
‘Nice. Had my phone and driver’s licence in it. So whoever took my purse, I hope some terrible karmic s*** happens to you. How cr***y is that.’
Alas, she was unable to count on the sleuthing skills of Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch, who is on a family holiday. Nor could she be rescued by Freeman, aka Dr Watson, as he is filming in Australia.
Abbington knows all about karma when it comes to driving. In February, she was fined £600 with six points for two consecutive speeding offences.
