Her character Daenerys Targaryen is trying to regain her rightful place as ruler of the Seven Kingdoms on Game of Thrones.

But Emilia Clarke has revealed she was forced to spend an inordinate on a seat of power of another kind while filming the hit TV show – a toilet.

However, the reason for her predicament was not the most obvious, as she told talk show host Jimmy Kimmel she was glued to the spot by fake blood while filming a scene where her on-screen alter ego ate a fake horse’s heart.

How embarrassing: Emilia Clarke told talk show host Jimmy Kimmel she was glued to a toilet by fake blood while filming a scene where her on-screen alter ego ate a fake horse’s heart

The 25-year-old said: ‘It was kind of like a gummy bear. But covered in fake blood that tasted sort of like bleach, which was gross.

‘The fake blood is really really sticky.

‘So I was covered head to toe in the fake blood and I’m continually sticking myself to myself, or to other things.

‘Then there was a moment when we were filming it that I disappeared, and I was stuck to the toilet.’

As he guffawed, Jimmy said: ‘So it got everywhere huh?’

She replied: ‘It did, oh it did. Like you say I was naked from head to toe.’

She did not say whether the show’s strapping former star Sean Bean channelled his famous character Lieutenant Colonel Richard Sharpe to come to the rescue.

However, she did say another Yorkshireman, her Uncle Ken, is the member of her family’s most shocked by her character penchant for running around in the nude in the graphic show.

Explaining how she brokered the subject of her numerous naked scenes to her family, the English rose said: ‘Well it was the kind of thing that I told my mum and then my mum kind of told my dad, with me being nowhere near.

‘I think he’s pleased that I was employed. It was less my dad it was more, as I found out last Chrismas, it was my Uncle Ken.

‘He was kind of alarmed when he saw it because last Christmas he looked me dead in the eye and was like, “Emilia you didn’t tell me that you’d be naked for that long.”‘

And while he is still watching the show she said he is now warned that he should ‘make a cup of tea’ when her character is flashing the flesh.

Giggling: The English Rose could not stop giggling through the interview

She also revealed that in contrast to her on-screen alter ego, who she claimed gets ‘properly bada**’ in the forthcoming season, she prefers to avoid conflict.

In fact she admitted she got assaulted by a prostitute while enjoying an exotic gap-year trip to Vietnam.

She said: ‘Well I sort of tend to run away from those kind of situations.

‘I was in my gap year in Vietnam. I was with a bunch of friends in Vietnam and we were basically in this bar and this guy didn’t really like us very much.

Hit: Emilia also divulged how she was punched by an angry prostitute in Vietnam

‘We were walking out of this bar and it was like a festival there was just a line of prostitutes waiting for us.

‘One of them tried to hit me. It was bad it wasn’t good. They were there to fight us but I ran away.

‘But one did punch me and I remember all I could say was “I’ve got my drama school audition in two weeks.”‘

And she explained just how easy it was for her to get the much-coveted role, despite the fact she had no experience.

She said: ‘I did drama school and then I auditioned for Game of Thrones and they stupidly put me on it.’
