Game Of Thrones’ Lena Headey HITS BACK at body double critics

If you cast your mind back to this time last year, and think of the last season of Game Of Thrones, we'll bet there's one scene that will REALLY stand out in your mind.

OK, OK, asides from the devastation of dreamboat Jon Snow dying/not dying….

Yes, we're talking about that Cersei Lannister walk of shame scene – where the former queen (played by Lena Headey) walked down the streets of King's Landing, hair shaved and completely naked – being jeered at by the people she used to rule over.

At the time, a number of diehard GOT fans had a field day tearing apart the actress for not doing the scene herself, and using a body double instead.

Now, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lena has hit back at her critics saying: "Some people thought I was less of an actress because I didn't get my tits out.

"I've done nudity. I'm not averse to it," she explained.

"But I know I'm a very emotional actor and I get really driven by that. In order to do my job, I allow myself to be really vulnerable.

"I don't know any other way to do my job. Things really affect me. And the thought of being naked for three days and trying to contain her [Cersei] in the way she would be, I think I would feel very angry."

So what's next for Cersei? Will she finally be beaten and learn not to double-cross everyone in her path? Or will this humiliation only lead to more evil plotting, scheming and destruction?

We'll just have to wait and see.
