Thrilled to hear of Game of Thrones’ victory thanks to Digital Spy readers, Richard Brake – better known as the Night King of seasons four and five – told us: “Honestly, I’m just incredibly honoured: A) that that happened, and B) I’m just so grateful to have been a part of that.
“It just felt like a really special, special show in the history of storytelling. So I was incredibly grateful that I got to not only be a part of it, but I got to be the baddest badass on it as well.”
