LILY Allen turned down an offer to appear on Game of Thrones … and with good reason.

In a Reddit Ask Me Anything Session, the singer wrote that she said no to the role because it meant doing some odd things on camera with her brother, Alfie Allen, who plays Theon Greyjoy in the series.

“I’ve been asked to do a Game of Thrones cameo, they asked me if I’d be interested in playing Theon’s sister, and I felt uncomfortable because I would have had to go on a horse and he would have touched me up and s***,” Allen wrote.

“Once they told me what was entailed, I said no thanks. I would be open to doing a musical cameo like Sigur Ros, though.”

Keeping on the topic of her brother, Allen was also asked by a fan on Reddit how Alfie felt in 2007 when she wrote and released a song about him, with several references to his laziness and fondness for marijuana.

“I think he was pretty annoyed, understandably, but I didn’t know it was going to be as successful as it was at the time of writing,” Allen wrote.

“And if I could take it back, I would.”
