Hidden 'Game Of Thrones' Message Implies How Major Character Dies

Hidden 'Game Of Thrones' Message Implies How Major Character Dies

Holy f**king s**t.

It's over 48 hours since the last episode of Game of Thrones - episode one of season seven - aired, so if by this point you've not watched it, I've not much sympathy for those of you worried about reading some spoilers. But that said, if you don't want the show ruining, then I'm warning you right now: DO NOT READ AHEAD.

Instead, maybe enjoy this article about The LAD Who Got His Mates To The Pub By 'Copy And Pasting' His Pint On Snapchat, or This Gamechanging Blackhead Removal Technique, or How Legalising Cannabis Could Be Great For The Economy.

What I'm saying is: get the hell off this page right now because spoilers (like winter) are coming.

There are still a few days until the second episode of Game of Thrones and, while we wait, fans have settled into the time-honoured tradition of scouring the latest episode of the show, frame by frame, in the search for clues about what's coming next and which fan theories are closer to being confirmed.

Now fans believe the show has dropped a huge hint about Cersei Lannister's fate - and it doesn't look good for the 'Mad Queen'.

The theory was inspired by events depicted in season five, when a young Cersei visited a seer who gave a prophesy of things that would come to pass - including a promise that she would later become Queen.

But in the original books, the seer also predicted how Cersei would die as a result of the 'valonqar', who would wrap his hands about her 'pale white throat' and choke her to death. Is this a clue as to the future of one of GoT's most prominent characters?

If you're wondering what 'valonqar' means, it is high Valyrian for 'little brother', which is why Cersei hates Tyrion.

However, as Jaime was born after Cersei he's also technically her 'little brother'.

And in the season opener, when the two of them stood on the map of Westeros Cersei was on an area known as the neck, while Jamie was stood on The Fingers.

Elsewhere in GoT, Ed Sheeran's cameo split viewers' opinions earlier this week:

Luckily for Ed, the show's director Jeremy Podeswa offered a spirited defence of the singer's brief appearance.

"I'm a bit surprised that people have made that much fuss about it," Podeswa told the Daily Beast.

"The truth is, everybody on the show is famous now, so it doesn't mean anything to me. It's about, are they appropriate for the role? Are they doing a good job? And it was yes, yes, yes to all those questions with him.

"He is a lovely person; he's really down-to-earth. If you didn't know that he was a pop star or an entertainer of any kind, you would think he's just one of the guys. And he is. He really just wanted to do a great job."
