While their characters may not have actually ever shared the screen (yet, as far as we know), Game Of Thrones stars Emila Clarke and Kit Harrington have spent plenty of time together off-screen. 

The 28-year old actress has spoken out recently about what it's like to be with Kit, who plays Jon Snow, out and about. The two appear to formed quite a close bond over the last five years, despite filming in different countries.

Speaking to GQ recently, Emilia said that while she can be lucky enough to go out without being recognised, Kit is not so lucky:

"We went to a FKA Twigs gig and it was mental. I went to the loo and in the cubicle on either side the girls were like, 'That's Jon Snow out there! Don't know who that random girl is."

Ever since the HBO show's most recent series finale rumours and fan theories have been popping up everywhere regarding Kit's character Jon. Is he dead or not seems to the question that anyone who watches the show cares about. 

Emilia has outed herself as one fan who doesn't think we have seen the last of him:

"We've got the red lady [Melisandre], but what would she bring him back as? She's got to take something for herself. Let's just say I'm optimistic."

Kit himself had fans in a frenzy earlier this week as he spoke to a Belgian magazine Humo about his future with the series:

"Let's just say that Game of Thrones will remain a part of my life for a while, I'll probably be in my thirties when it's over. One thing's for sure: the day I'm no longer on Thrones is the day I'll bury myself in movie projects.”

The interview was translated by eager GOT fans and posted on Reddit, but fans will just have to wait and see what happens when the show returns. 

One thing that Emilia  apparently says she would not be so eager for fans to see however, was so much nudity. She was quoted as saying that certain sex scenes in GOT were 'gratuitous' and made her 'cringe'. However, she took to social media in efforts to clarlify her statement and explained:

“I was followed into a party by a journalist who asked me a question about female empowerment and then quoted me entirely out of context for an outlet I didn’t agree to speak with,” she went on to add:

“In drama, if a nude scene forwards a story or is shot in a way that adds insight into characters, I’m perfectly fine with it. Sometimes explicit scenes are required and make sense for the characters/story."

In July Cara Delevingne had a very awkward moment when she was on the promotional trail for her film Paper Towns. The model-turned-actress was interviewed by anchors for Good Day Sacramento when things took a turn for the worst. 

Things got off to a rocky start when one of the anchors introduced her as 'Carla', and then just went downhill for there. 

Her signature sarcasm and humour didn't translate to the American hosts and by the end they asked if the star was "exhausted", Her reply: "Perhaps it's just you," led to quite a social media stir. Once the interview ended the hosts continued to slate Cara with comments such as:

"You make $5m for six weeks of work, you can pretend to talk to Good Day Sacramento with some oomph."

We thought that everyone had moved on from the incident by now but it seems that at least one celeb still had something to add to the misadventure. 

Richard Madden, AKA Robb Stark from Game Of Thrones, made reference to the ordeal when interviewed by Style magazine:

"It made her seem ungrateful. It showed her age. For Cinderella I did 6 weeks of those interviews."

Ouch, don't hold back Richard. He added:

"If you're not capable of doing that gracefully then don't do it."

Cara did not take the criticism lightly and took to social media to sound off:

Fans reacted expertly:

Oh and then Richard had to come back and try to diffuse the situation:

When will they ever learn?

It's tough when it comes to choosing a name for a human being that will stick with them for the rest of their lives. So where do you turn for inspiration? Books? The Internet? Game Of Thrones? Wait, what?

Yes that's right, British parents have now began looking to Game of Thrones for their inspiration when naming their newborns. 

According to the Office for National Statistics in England, several of the character names from Game of Thrones have been registered to babies since the release of the television series first aired in 2011.

We're really not sure how we feel about all of this. 

For the boys, 17 kids have been named Tyrion, which isn't too bad because Tyrion is definitely one of the most likeable characters and mainly because he's still alive five seasons on. 

However, some of the more unfortunate babies got the name Theon. Eek! (Or should we Reek)

The girls got even more character names, with Khaleesi being very popular as 53 babies are named after the mother of dragons. 

Arya however was the most popular GOT female baby name of all with a huge 244 babies being named after the Stark girl. 

Brienne was a new entry with 4 infants being named after the knight recently. 

Other fictional characters as also influencing the name choosing process as Anna and Elsa ranked hugely popular for girls.

For any die-hard Game of Thrones fans who were dreading the day the HBO show announced news of the seventh and final season, there was so good news.

Producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss have been suggesting since the series second year that they would try and get seven years out of the hugely successful fantasy series.

This week Entertainment Weekly are reporting that programming president for HBO Micheal Lombardo might be thinking differently than the two showrunners.

“Seven-seasons-and-out has never been the conversation”, he said at the Television Critics Association’s press tour this week. So, that basically means we could be watching our favourite Mother of Dragons forever, right?

“The question is: How much beyond seven are we going to do? Obviously we’re shooting six now, hopefully discussing seven.” He went to say that David and Dan are “feeling like there’s two more years after six.”

Game of Thrones fans all around the world are certainly rejoicing. But what about any of those with a soft spot for Jon Snow?

“Dead is dead is dead. He be dead. Um, yes. Everything I’ve seen, heard and read, Jon Snow is indeed dead," he said.

It looks like any hope those with a thing for curly haired Northmen was dashed then and there. However, Kit Harrington has been spotted out and about in Belfast with the rest of the cast recently. It is Game of Thrones after all, pretty much anything can happen in Westeros it seems.

Other news from press tour related to questions surrounding a possible prequel to the series.

Michael said that as of yet there had been “no discussions” about such an adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s work but he is open to doing anything David and Dan want to do.

Since the finale of season five, Game of Thrones fans have been going crazy speculating whether or not Jon Snow will be returning to the show.

But a recent sighting of Kit Harrington in Belfast has led people to presume that this means Jon Snow will in fact be making a comeback.

The popular character of Jon Snow was killed off at the end of the last series, leaving the world in total shock. GOT fans immediately pointed out that Melisandre, the priestess of the Lord of Light with the ability to resurrect the dead, was present during the awful scene.

It has also been noted that the 28-year-old actor has maintained his long hair which he grew specifically for the show.

And now, he has been spotted in Belfast, the home to the Game of Throne’s set, just in time for the filming of the sixth season.

Of course, there is always the possibility that Kit could be over in Belfast with the rest of his co-stars to shoot a funeral scene, but we are determined to remain optimistic.

Lena Heady, or better known as Cersei from Game of Thrones, has just given birth to a baby girl and she told the world over an adorable tweet.

She said "Hello peeps. All good. Just fallen in unconditional heartbreaking divine love for the second time."

This is Lena's second child as she already has a five-year-old son with her ex-husband, Peter Loughran.  

Lena annouced her second pregnancy in February of this year, telling People magazine "I'm happy to confirm that I am having my second child this summer."

In a blog post some time later, the actress revealed that she would be having a girl, saying: "My daughter will have freedom of choice. She will be free to dance, to sing, to be educated in the fields that spark her passion, to marry if she wants, to marry WHO she wants, to remain single, or to fall in love with another woman." 

"She'll be able to wear what she wants, put on lipstick, and read books that spark debate and expand her mind."

This baby is basically Game of Thrones royalty already, but we're just wondering will her mum allow her to watch an episode of her playing the devil's span that is Cersai Lannister?

Just incase you haven't watched the last episode of Game Of Thrones, or haven't heard about this by now, which seems very unlikely then let us just warn you… *SPOILERS*

Ok so following the finale of GOT season 5, fans worldwide all had their own theories as to what really happened with Jon Snow the night the knights watch turned against him.

To some people it all seemed so obvious "He was stabbed like 62 times in the stomach he's ded" but other didn't believe this so easily, "The red woman is there, she will bring him back to life. He can't be dead".

Well Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in the television show, spoke to E! news and pretty much killed the dreams of anyone who was holding out hope for the safe return of Jon Snow. 

In the interview, Maisie literally caused the breaking of a thousand hearts when speaking about whether Jon will be back or not saying, "I'm like, ‘I don't think so. I'm very sorry!' I don't know, maybe he wanted to keep the hair in the end."

She then goes on to make sure we don't have one fleeting ounce of hope by squashing another theory about Jon coming back as a white walker. After all, we think white walker Jon Snow is better than no Jon Snow at all. 

"We saw him get stabbed like five times in the chest," Ms Williams says. "I think he's gone. I mean, I could be wrong, but I really don't think so."

"And people are like, ‘He's going to come back as White Walker!' I'm like, 'Really, we'd bring back Jon Snow as a White Walker?!' OK, you can believe what you'd like."

 Thanks Maisie, that's our Thursday ruined…

Emilia Clarke was on Jimmy Kimmel Live when she proved that she can not only nail High Valyrian and Dothraki, but the quintessential ‘Valley Girl’ accent as well.

The 28-year-old Game of Thrones star was telling a story about when she had to put on an American accent so she wouldn’t be recognised buying an air conditioning unit from a Home Depot in New Orleans at 3am.

The Terminator Genisys actress admitted that her real-life fake American accent is somewhat different from her fake on-screen American accent. 

When Mr Kimmel asked Emilia’s alter ego, “Callie from the Valley,” where she got her accent, she answered, “I, like, love Clueless.”

These two are definitely our favourite surviving characters on Game Of Thrones (we had plenty of other, but, yea, you know the drill).

We were thinking to ourselves, we would be delighted to see either of these take the iron throne and rule the seven kingdoms, by why not both?

Both have their relationship status set to single (well, Khaleesi's beau has set off to look for her, but we are hoping she will be back to Tyrion's side before his return).

Here's some reasons these two would make the ultimate power couple:

 

1. Because it was love at first sight, we could see it in their eyes

 

2. They both have undeniably great hair

 

3. The both seem to be the most intelligent people on the show

 

4. They are the only characters that can do terrible things, and we will still love them anyway

 

5.They can both be kiiiinda dramatic

 

6.They both suffer from a severe case of resting bitch face

 

7.They both hate the same people

 

8. Between the two of them, there are zero f***s given

 

9.The windswept look does wonders for them both

 

10. Because with the way everyone else is being killed off, it's possible that they will soon be the only two people left on earth..

Despite having attempted to keep her pregnancy under wraps at the beginning of the year, Lena Headey reluctantly revealed she was expecting her second child and appealed to the media for privacy, saying: "I hope that this announcement can help me to regain some of the privacy I have recently lost to prying photographers and ask that they please respect my privacy and let me enjoy this time."

However, in a recent turnabout, the usually notoriously private star has now opened up on her hopes for the future and gone one step further by actually announcing the gender of her unborn child.

Using her position as guest blogger on Plan International USA to discuss gender equality, the Game of Thrones star revealed she's soon to welcome a daughter into the life she shares with four-year-old son, Wylie.

Explaining one of the reasons behind her touching post on human rights. Lena explained: "I am having a baby girl in six weeks."

The actress, who plays Cersei Lannister in the smash show, went on to say: "My daughter will have freedom of choice. She will be free to dance, to sing, to be educated in the fields that spark her passion to marry if she wants, to marry WHO she wants, to remain single, or to fall in love with another woman."

Determined her little girl will live in a world devoid of gender inequality, the 41-year-old mum-of-one continued: "She'll be able to wear what she wants, put on lipstick, and read books that spark debate and expand her mind. She will be loved, protected, respected and celebrated."

Appealing to the public to help make a change on behalf of her unborn daughter, the star wrote: "All these things that should be, and will be, basic human rights, are a promise to my daughter. My humble request is that you give what you can and maybe – just maybe – we can bring about the change we all wish to see."

We don't know about you, but Lena's words have given us goosebumps.

Congratulations on your news, Lena!

If you feel your partner is lacking in the gift-giving department, you're advised to look away right about now.

Yes, Beyonce has reportedly been given a dragon's egg by her adoring husband of seven years.

And after sourcing the rare, intricate egg from the Game Of Thrones set, we're guessing that Jay Z is seriously in her good books, 

When asked about where the eggs had ended up, the show's Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother Of Dragons, told the current edition of Harper's Bazaar: "Apparently Jay Z bought one for Beyoncé, or something. I don't know! 

The 28-year-old added: "They are really, really, really, expensive and they are really f***ing heavy and serious works of art."

Well, if true, we bet the gift looks really, really, really lovely on Beyoncé's mantelpiece.

And this wouldn't be the first time our favourite couple have spoilt each other: they are well-known for their expensive tastes and er, slightly bizarre gift-giving. 

Here's a look back at previous presents Jay Z has bought his beloved wife…

1. €500,000 gold rocking horse
Just what every new mother needs in the middle of her sitting room.

2. €18m Florida island 
Bey must have been really upset about turning 29. 

3. €21,000 platinum-covered mobile phone 
And all we dread our free texts running out.

4. €310,000 worth of Hermes Birkin bags
He evidently took the hint.

5. €900,000 Rolls Royce
What else would you buy for a queen?

Woah!

Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen in Game Of Thrones, has a body double for series five – and the resemblance is frightening.

Rosie Mac is a gorgeous 18-year-old model from Cornwall, but she moved to Marbella in Spain when she was 10. 

Virginia Macari, the Dublin Wives star who hired Rosie to star in her new bikini campaign, told the Sunday World: "She was a stand-in on Game Of Thrones for Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen. The producers loved her so much that they’ve written a part for her."

The photoshoot is taking place today. Courtney Smith is the stylist.
