GEORGE R R Martin is hoping hackers who stole Game of Thrones scripts can tell him how it all ends.

The author, who has been struggling to think of an ending for his fantasy epic, has asked the hackers threatening HBO if he could have a quick look at the scripts for the next season.

Martin said: “At the moment it’s all gotten very complicated, there are dragons here, knights there, those zombie things are kicking off plus there’s some other mystical stuff about ravens.

“I have no fucking idea what to put in the next book so I’d really like to see what happens in the telly series.

“I should really have been watching it but just hearing the word ‘dragon’ gives me a mild panic attack.”
