Sophie Turner misses smelling like horse poo on the Game Of Thrones set

Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner has revealed she misses smelling like horse manure on set of the HBO fantasy series.

The actress, who played Sansa Stark in the franchise, confessed that she’s beginning to yearn for the stench that encapsulated the cast behind-the-scenes, telling SFX magazine: ‘The last day [of filming] was incredibly difficult.

‘I’m actually starting to miss the mud and being sweaty and smelling like s**t – literal s**t, because it’s horse s**t all up your dress.’

Sophie continued to the publication: ‘I think Game of Thrones means everything to me. It’s been my adolescence, it’s been half my life, basically, and the only half that I can remember.

‘It’s my family. I had substitute fathers, substitute uncles, substitute brothers.

‘I met my best friend on there.

‘It’s the best acting class I could have ever asked for. It’s been my whole life and without Game of Thrones, I think I would be a completely different person.’

Before the finale episode aired, fans set up an online campaign calling for the whole series to be remade, racking up well over one million signatures.

Sophie, 22, branded the petition ‘disrespectful’ and called out audiences for being rude.

The star also admitted that she regrets trading in university life to star on the show, telling Graham Norton: ‘I wish I could have gone out and drunk a lot and thrown up in the middle of a club without it being photographed!’

‘But, I am happy with my Game of Thrones experience,’ she added. ‘I don’t think I missed out on too much.’

Game Of Thrones is available to watch on catch-up on HBO, Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
