Game Of Thrones author George RR Martin has made his own bid for the Twitter egg’s crown.

After Kylie Jenner’s most-liked Instagram picture was upstaged by a plain old egg, GRRM has thrown his cap into the ring.

Martin, who wrote the A Song Of Ice And Fire book series on which Game Of Thrones is based, presented the Twittersphere with an egg of his own.

And of course, it had to be a shimmering, bronze dragon’s egg complete with scales.

He said: ‘I, too, have a famous egg… #Instaegg, #fun, #worldrecordegg #EggGang #eggsoldiers’.

George joined the Egg Gang after Jenner’s most-liked Insta pic was bested by a picture of an egg.

A photo of Kylie’s newborn daughter Stormi’s tiny hand gripping her mum’s thumb racked up 18.25 million.

The world record egg, launched on 5 January, now has a staggering 42 million Instagram likes at the time of writing.

The mysterious World Record Egg account popped up on January 5, 2019 with a mission to outshine world-famous Kardashian sister, Kylie.

When she wasn’t posting underwear pictures after the loss of her title, Kyle, 21, was hitting back by sharing a video of the time she cooked an egg on hot concrete back in 2016.

‘Take that little egg’ she quipped.

So far there is only one post on the ‘egg’ Instagram account, but there’s now a link to official merchandise.

The website sells T-shirts (in black or white) bearing the words ‘I Liked The Egg’. 2019 getting off to a weird start.

Meanwhile Game Of Thrones fans can look forward to the final season kicking off on 15 April.
