Rose Leslie stars in Banged Up Abroad episode in 2008
Rose Leslie is best known for playing the role of Ygritte in hit HBO series Game of Thrones, but she actually landed her first TV role back in 2008.
The now 34-year-old actress looks unrecognisable in one episode of Channel 5 docudrama Banged Up Abroad.
The particular episode was titled “Lima” and Rose played the character of someone named Kim.
Rose was just 20-years-old at the time and looks fresh-faced with her trademark red locks.
Four years later, Rose got her breakthrough role on Game of Thrones, where she also met her future husband Kit Harington – who famously played Jon Snow.

Speaking about the hugely successful series, Rose said: “It was an incredible experience, and for me—as an actor—it definitely opened a lot of doors with casting directors, and producers.”
As Ygritte, she played a wildling spearwife renowned for her fierce and headstrong nature who first encounters Jon in the episode “A Clash of Kings” when she and her band of three wildling scouts are surprise-attacked by a group of Night’s Watch rangers.

Unfortunately Rose’s character was killed off in season 4 when Ygritte participates in Styr’s attack on Castle Black, and is fatally shot in the chest by an arrow in the ensuing battle, later dying in Jon’s arms.
Since then, Rose has starred in various TV shows including The Great Fire, Luther, The Good Fight and Vigil.
Rose will next be seen in big-budget film Death On The Nile, based on the novel by Agatha Christie, and co-starring Gal Gadot and Kenneth Branagh.
