The 28 year old told* British Vogue:* “I went back to* Game Of Thrones* and it was like coming home.

"Just the smell of the hotel in Belfast made me feel safe. I told myself, forget the big game plan; all I want is to do jobs that make me happy."

She added of the HBO show: "When I first read the scripts, I was on holiday with my family. I told my dad, 'You're not going to be able to watch the first five episodes...'"
