Actress Louise Brealey says fans have been "so very, very kind" after her turn as a male character in this year's Sherlock special.

The Abominable Bride saw BBC's Sherlock delve into Victorian London where Molly Hooper was pretending to be a man. 'Hooper' came complete with gruff accent and fluffy moustache, running things in the morgue with none other than Anderson as her assistant.

Chuffed with the reaction from fans Brealey tweeted:

Posting a snap of the new-look Hooper, Brealey also thinks she really rather pulls off the look and is more than happy with that.

SPOILER. I think I make a prettier boy than I do girl, and I'm alright with that. #Sherlock #Hooper pic.twitter.com/ZYV0WniPaj
