If you've just got back from a holiday in outer space, you may not be aware that Game Of Thrones is back on our screens.

Series seven began last week and was met with its usual applause for the drama and suspense - if not a questionable Ed Sheeran appearance.

But, with the high levels of make-up, costumes and special effects that go on, it may be difficult to tell what the characters look like when they're out socialising like the rest of us.

Here's a run-down of some of the characters away from the seven kingdoms.

Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey)

Clearly one for the make-up and costumes, Lena has also appeared in 300 and The Purge. Her work on Game Of Thrones however has seen her nominated for one Golden Globe and three Emmy's.
