When asked about HBO series Game of Thrones, most cast members would go red-faced, appear all flustered and ultimately dodge the question. Not Sophie Turner.

The actor, who played Jean Grey in last year's X-Men: Apocalypse, walked the BAFTA red carpet on Sunday night (12 February) where she revealed a key detail about her Thrones character, Sansa Stark.

While discussing her upcoming projects, Turner told HeyUGuys: “We're about to start shooting the next X-Men, we just finished shooting season seven of Game of Thrones. Then I've got a couple of movies to do before X-Men starts and then we go onto season eight. So, I've got a busy year lined up.”

That's right, Thrones fans - unless Turner is deploying Littlefinger-style deceit, Sansa will be making it through the next season alive.

Turner will reprise her role as a young version of Jean Grey in X-Men: Supernova.
