Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner has admitted that all the cast fear getting the chop from the hit drama.

The actress, 18, stars as Sansa Stark in the HBO show, based on the novels by George R. R. Martin.

She told Town & Country magazine that the show’s creators David Benioff and Daniel Brett Weiss even penned fake death scenes to toy with them.

“I think we’re all very used to it by now. David and Dan will write in fake death scenes just to freak us all out, which is really not fun,” she said.

“We’re very much on the edge of our seat. They sign us up for all of the seasons, so we don’t even know via contract if we’re safe or not.”

But the English actress added: “We’re all expecting it – it’s Game Of Thrones, after all.”

Sophie said that she couldn’t imagine not being on the show, which first aired in 2011.

“My whole adolescence has been on Game Of Thrones. I don’t know what I’m going to do without it,” she told the mag.

“There’s this huge family that I’ve come back to every year.”

Sophie said that she felt a deep connection to her character and so having her mum on set during the first three years was important “because if you get too wrapped up in that darkness, it can really damage you”.

She said of the show’s depiction of women: “‘It’s based on history, on the Wars of the Roses, on Tudor times, where women didn’t really have a position in the world. But because it’s also fantasy … they can put in these really strong female characters who have a voice in the world, really empowered women who can say what they want.”

The full interview will appear in the spring issue of Town & Country – on sale from February 3.
