Emilia Clarke has revealed how one Game of Thrones scene was so gruesome that it made her vomit on set.
You will no doubt remember the gruesome moment Daenerys ate a horse's heart during a Dothraki ritual in the first season of the show. And given the nature of the scene, it's probably little surprised that it has now emerged filming it was as bad for the actor as it looked for the character.
Asked about the scene during a recent interview she admitted that filming didn't require much acting and special precautions were made for her on set.

She told the Mirror: "It was very helpful to be given something so truly disgusting to eat, so there wasn't much acting required.
"They made the heart out of solidified jam but it tasted like bleach and raw pasta. I ate roughly 28 hearts throughout the days we filmed that scene. Fortunately, they gave me a spit bucket because I was vomiting in it quite often."

With the series coming to an end, Emilia also revealed her plans for life after Game of Thrones.
She said: "I want to continue working in theatre - I love performing in front of an audience. Even a musical. I'm probably going to make my fair share of good and bad choices, but fate and luck are all part of the game.
"At the moment I just get so excited arriving at the Thrones set each day. It's like beginning another great adventure."
