White House Farm viewers were left a little distracted last night after a Game of Thrones reunion happened on screen in front of them.
Gemma Whelan, who plays murderer Jeremy Bamber’s cousin Ann Eaton and Alfie Allen, who stars as his friend Brett Collins, were back together on screen and it didn’t go unnoticed by viewers.
Alfie and Gemma previously played siblings Yara and Theon Greyjoy in the HBO fantasy series.
Their reunion sent viewers into meltdown, with one tweeting: “Seeing the Greyjoy siblings together again is slightly distracting.”

Another said: “Expecting Lord Varys and Tyrion Lannister to pop up and sort them all out.”
“I am loving the mini Game of Thrones reunion with the Greyjoys in White House Farm,” another fan wrote.
‘White House Farm’ tells the real life story of the deaths of Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter Sheila Caffell and her six-year-old twin sons Nicholas and Daniel.
For a month, Jeremy Bamber convinced senior detectives that his vulnerable sister, Sheila, had carried out the massacre of his entire family.
The latest episode saw Ann accuse him of being the murderer, despite his sister Sheila being the main suspect.
The episode ended with the police releasing the family’s bodies for burial, with Bamber planning to cremate them in a bid to destroy evidence.
The funeral would be the first piece of the puzzle in convicting the 24-year-old after he made a chilling mistake .
Bamber, who had even set his video recorder to tape the funeral on the evening news, could be heard sobbing as he left the church on television.
Det Insp Miller knew immediately something was very wrong: “I turned to Micky Barlow and said ‘this bloke’s acting. Sure enough, I got a call from Jeremy’s teacher shortly afterwards.”

Bamber’s former housemaster contacted police and told Det Insp Miller: “It seemed to me that Bamber was acting.
“My wife, who was watching the television with me, also made comments about it.”
So when Julie came forward weeks after the killings to drastically change her statement and implicate her boyfriend, police knew they had their man.
Bamber was arrested and charged, and the following year he was convicted of all five murders.
He’s currently serving life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, despite maintaining his innocence, and is one of the few prisoners in the UK subject to a whole-life order.
White House Farm continues on Wednesday at 9pm on ITV
