Awkward: Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke admitted their recent sex scene as Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen was 'weird' to film, knowing the characters were blood related
Hotting up: Speaking in a special behind-the-scenes commentary for HBO, Emilia, 30, revealed 'gagging' was her first reaction to the tryst in the season finale (above)
The seventh season finale received an explosive reaction from fans, after Daenerys and Jon were seen having sex - without either knowing they are nephew and aunt.
Speaking after the scene aired, the two stars were quick to admit the scene had felt 'wrong' to film, when aware of the relation of the characters.
Admitting the scene had even made her feel sick, Emilia explained: 'The reality of what they are to each other, I don't know how that's going to... I think [gagging] might be the reaction.'

Meanwhile Kit, 30, admitted he believes both characters know it is wrong deep down, but they are simply drawn to each other.
He continued: 'I think they both know it's wrong. I think they both know it's going to cause problems. But it's that thing, when you suddenly feel that deeply about someone and you go through these events together, it's like a runaway train.'
However, he went on to confess he feels it was 'inevitable' that their characters would end up romping, after weeks of sexual tension between them on the show.

He said: 'I think it's an inevitability from about halfway through the season that Jon and Daenerys will fall into bed together. You can't stop it from happening.'
Emilia and Kit have both taken central roles on the show since it first aired in 2009 - but did not shoot a scene together until last year, making the tryst even more uncomfortable to act out on camera.
Confessing the incident was cringe-worthy, Emilia laughed: 'Both of us were going, 'Ahhh what are you doing on my set!? This is weird!'

While Kit added: 'We were both kind of freaking out. Usually you start working on a movie and meet [a co-star] for the first time and you develop chemistry on screen over time.
'Here, you know somebody for seven years and you've watched their character on screen all that time. So it's a unique experience as an actor to come together and know the world is watching.'
Yet, the London-born hunk confessed he had a feeling the pair's characters would finally meet on the show.

He explained: 'I predicted, like everyone, they would meet this season, but I don't think I predicted it quite as quickly.'
'As far as Jon knows, he's just meeting this queen he's heard of and trying to negotiate with her -- he's not meeting Daenerys, who the audience has been watching for so many years. That helps with the surprise of it.
'He walks into the room and doesn't expect to see such a beautiful young woman of similar age to him. Any young man's reaction is going to be, 'Okay...' but he puts that aside because he has to.'

Finally: Fans had still been left delighted by their steamy sex scene in the finale - despite the characters being blood related
Fans had been left delighted by their steamy sex scene in the finale - despite the characters being blood related.
The pair, whose romantic relationship has been building up throughout the penultimate season, finally gave into their passion as they sailed north from Dragonstone, to face off against the dreaded White Walker threat.
Jon sneaked to her quarters and and his queen was only too quick to invite him inside, resulting in pair making love while at sea.
However in a rather creepy turn, Daenerys' trusted adviser Tyrion Lannister was shown lingering outside in the shadows and waiting outside as they enjoyed their passionate liaison.

Fans were quick to vent their disgust at this detail on Twitter - and even speculate whether Tyrion was in fact in love with Daenerys.
One fan kicked things off by writing: 'Why was Tyrion upset about Jon & Dany getting it on? Did he really feel he had a chance with her or do we have a rat.'
While another added: 'Why did #tyrion seem mad when #jon knocked on Dany's door?'
A further fan speculated whether he had feelings for the blonde, writing: 'Why was Tyrion creeping outside Dany's room? Never thought he looked at her that way... #silentstalker #voyeur'
Freaky: However other fans were quick to express their disgust at the moment (above)
However other fans were quick to express their disgust at the moment, writing: 'So is nobody gonna talk about that moment with #Tyrion down the hall from Dany and Jon?' and 'Why was Tyrion spying on Jon and Dany making out?'
It was a thrilling episode for fans on Sunday night after the Night King finally made his move to wipe out the people of Westeros, by bringing down The Wall.
The season finale ended with the land of the living on a knife edge, with the leader of the White Walkers using his powerful new undead dragon mount to smash an enormous hole in the structure that has stood for around 8,000 years.
It was part of an action-packed episode that revealed Jon Snow's real name and saw Littlefinger brutally executed by Arya Stark for treason.
That's a wrap! Kit, Sophie Turner, Gwendoline Christie, Kristofer Hivju and a number of other GOT stars shared behind-the-scenes photos on social media, in honour of the exciting finale
