Who doesn’t lick an edible statue when you nip out to the shops?

Hungry shoppers that seem to be cool with looking weird the middle of a vast mall got the chance to lick and bite Benedict Cumberbatch after he was voted ‘dishiest TV drama’ actor.

Don’t be too alarmed though: It wasn’t the real Benedict, but a life-size replica, made entirely out of chocolate.

The six foot sculpture was made out of 40kgs of chocolate went on display at Westfield Stratford City on Good Friday after a poll of 2,000 British women revealed Benedict as our dishiest actor.

We know: It was news to us that terms like ‘dishiest actor’ are still being used in the wild.
