Game of Thrones fans love a good old theory - and do you remember a fascinating one last year surrounding Jon Snow (of course) and Meera Reed?

The theory ponders whether Jon and Meera are actually secret siblings - and considering the overarching debate as to whether Jon is the true heir to the Iron Throne, this would mean that Meera could be next in line if Jon is dead, like all the trailers and Kit Harington himself want us to believe.

But what does Ellie Kendrick think about this outlandish theory? The actress behind Meera isn't so sure.

She told Digital Spy: "I genuinely don't have any idea as we don't get told anything! But, I don't know. I think people might just be thinking that because we've both got curly hair. In the books, our characters are described quite differently.

"Hey, I'd love it to be true because it would mean great things for my character, but I'm holding back on speculation for now. I think what's been going on in George RR Martin's brain is so much more a complex wormhole than we could possibly imagine. I think there's definitely a mystery to Meera and Jojen and their parentage, but I think it'll unwind itself eventually."

She added: "I can only dream. To be honest, I don't think Meera would be all that good on the Iron Throne! She's a little bit of a socialist at heart, I don't think she'll be able to rule with the iron fist that the throne requires."

Meera is expected to return in season six after a year away from the HBO show, as her party including Bran Stark make a comeback.

Meanwhile, Ellie is currently rehearsing for an all-female production of Cyrano de Bergerac in London.

Speaking about Glyn Maxwell's adaptation, she said: "It really wasn't odd at all, because I came to acting from when I went to an all-girls school, so it was always girls playing the boys parts and that's how I got into acting, I played all the boys roles and realised they were often much better written than the female ones unfortunately!

"You don't often get a chance, as a woman, to do sword fights and brawls! It brings something quite interesting to the play actually. I'm excited that this army is represented by a group of women, and I think that says something quite cool, and I'm excited to be a part of it.

"I always think that theatre is all about playing other people and the audience is ready to be told a story, and to see people transport them into a world as different characters. If you're starting on that basis then it's not that big a leap, really, seeing a woman play a man or a man play a woman or whatever. It works perfectly well for me."

Cyrano de Bergerac will play at London's Southwark Playhouse from February 18 to March 19.
