GAME Of Thrones fans hoping to get a glimpse of Cersei Lannister naked will have to wait a little while longer amid tight security.

The show’s producers reportedly hired more than 200 security guards to ensure Lena Headey’s controversial nude scene was kept secret.

There has been a lot of talk about the key season-five scene, which sees Cersei emerging naked from a church and having to walk through a town back to the King’s Landing castle.

But it didn’t all go to plan.

Shooting ran into problems when the church leaders in Croatia denied the show access as it didn’t want to be associated with such a sexualised scene.

Things were eventually sorted, and TMZ report producers went to costly lengths to keep the saucy shoot top-secret.

According to TMZ, $50,000 a day was spent filming the scenes, with a big chunk of the cost going towards security.

It’s been reported that security guards flooded the area, with local shopkeepers forced to shut down for a short amount of time.

Mobile phones were also banned from the set.
