Emilia Clarke teases her co-star Kit Harington as they battle gale-force winds on set

ON-SCREEN they play rivals and clearly actors Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke are embracing their characters’ sassiness behind the scenes.

EMILIA Clarke and Kit Harington might be aunt and nephew on Game of Thrones but they’re more annoying siblings in real life.

The British actors — who play Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow in the HBO epic fantasy series — have been larking about on set ever since they shared their first scene together in season seven.

Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke’s characters took seven seasons to share the screen.

Now, Clarke has shared a funny video of Harington pretending to be a dragon, while she throws a little bit of good-natured shade at him, The Sun reports.

Posting a video of Kit flapping his costume in the wind during filming on Instagram, Emilia wrote: “I mean, JEEEZE, one pet of a dragon and he thinks he’s one of them”.

She also added on the hashtags, “You know nothing Jon Snow”, “But you do know how to not get blow off a cliff in gale-force winds so there’s always that” and “Every pun about wind I can think of insert here”.

The video comes after the show suffered yet another embarrassing leak when HBO Spain showed the next episode a week early.

Spanish subscribers were able to access the episode for one hour on-demand before it was removed — according to reports.

But it was available long enough for the episode to be shared online on a slew of streaming services.

The news comes as a blow to US broadcaster HBO, who have struggled with spoiler episodes hitting the web.

Scripts have also been released after a hacker breached HBO’s computer network and yesterday, Indian police arrested four people over a leak of episode four of the current season.

The leaks have included scripts, internal documents and emails from an executive so far and it is feared more will follow.

HBO said it is not in contact with the group and conceded further “bits and pieces” of stolen information may follow to generate “media attention”.

“That’s a game we’re not going to participate in,” their statement added.

“Obviously, no company wants their proprietary information stolen and released on the internet.”

Game Of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has said ratings will not be damaged by leaked episodes as well as spoilers released after the HBO hack.

The actor — who plays Jaime Lannister on the show — said he believes most true fans will stay away from compromised information.

“There were always going to be people who want to find out more but I think it’s just a tiny, tiny fraction of the people who love the show. Why would you want to spoil it for yourself?

“We saw it last week, there was an episode leaked, episode four was leaked, that didn’t hurt the ratings at all,” he said.

A trailer for next week’s episode was released earlier this week showing Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and his band of brave men venturing north of The Wall to capture a White Walker and battle the Night King and his army of the dead.
