Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke suggests SHE is responsible for takeaway coffee fiasco as she shares behind the scenes snap of herself holding a VERY similar cup
Emilia Clarke has revealed she could be responsible for the errant takeaway cup that found its way into a dramatic scene from the latest episode of Game Of Thrones.
The long-running fantasy drama suffered ridicule after the coffee cup was erroneously left in shot while Daenerys Targaryen her army toasted their victory over the Night King.
And taking to Instagram on Thursday morning, Emilia, 32, referenced the editing blunder by sharing a snap of herself holding a similar looking cup while on set with co-stars Peter Dinklage and Jason Momoa.
Someone's bean naughty: Emilia Clarke has revealed she could be responsible for the errant takeaway cup that found its way into a dramatic scene from the latest episode of Game Of Thrones by sharing a snap of herself holding a very similar looking cup on set
Captioning the image, which appeared to be taken while filming the show's eighth and final season, she wrote: 'Did I just stumble upon the truth here?! The cup bearer does not drinketh the Starbucks tea...'
With Momoa also present on set the actress was quick to mention that her former screen husband - who was killed off during the show's first season - would not be making an unexpected return for the finale.
'oh and this ain’t a spoiler just a lost wanderer coming home for a mid filming cuppa...' she added.

Game Of Thrones fans had previously joked that it was Sophie Turner's character Sansa Stark who was responsible for the gaffe.
Sharing an image of herself beside Lyanna Mormont star Bella Ramsey, Sophie was seen holding a coffee cup that seemed to match the offending item.
Taking to Twitter to share hilarious memes, they joked that Sansa was the 'real coffee cup culprit' and had set Daenerys up.

Sharing Bella's snap, one user wrote: 'Clearly, it was Sansa who set up Dany. Refer to exhibit A: coffee cup in hand for proof'
Another joked: 'Hmmm guess who gets up from the table and leaves right before the coffee cup appears? Sansa was playing the long game with this one. Come to think of it @SophieT does look like the @Starbucks logo...with a crown. OMG!'
While one fan shared the image of Bella and Sophie alongside the still where the coffee cup appeared, and wrote, 'Sansa: Here is a coffee for my queen'

Game Of Thrones bosses have since ordered the surprise coffee cup be edited out for streaming and catch-up.
It will now no longer appear in the episode when watched on services such as HBO Go, Sky, Now TV or when it's released on DVD.
The official GOT Twitter account poked fun at the blunder by tweeting: 'News from Winterfell. The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.'

The misplaced cup appeared to undermine the credibility of the hit show on Sunday evening, with fans complaining the week before that the editing was way too dark to see what was going on.
Fans stayed up late to watch an eventful fourth episode as the long-running fantasy drama, now in its eighth season, prepares for a bloody conclusion in little more than a fortnight’s time.
But they were spitting their cocoa out after spotting the beverage in Winterfell’s Great Hall, in a pivotal scene for Jon Snow and the united army of Wildlings, Unsullied and Dothraki warriors.

There's bean a mistake: The hilarious GIFs appeared to be never-ending following Sunday night's episode
More familiar with a horn of ale than a coconut cappuccino, Jon and Daenerys appeared oblivious to the offending cup, placed on one of the hall's long trestle-tables, as their raucous celebrations kicked off the episode.
But the gaffe was not lost on eagle-eyed viewers, who promptly expressed their disbelief on social media.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: 'So this is where we're at now! A Starbucks cup!'
While another joked: 'If that’s Dany’s Starbucks coffee I feel bad for the barista who has to write her name on the cup.... hand must be cramping.'
Twitter is coming: The comments were inevitably followed by a flurry of hilarious memes
'I missed the story arc where dany discovers pumpkin spice lattes,' wrote a third.
Another fan dismissed claims that the cup had been Photoshopped onto the scene for comical effect, writing: 'It isn’t I just rewatched the scene on hbo now is that a candle or something wtf.' (sic)
The blunder comes as season eight gears up for a dramatic climax at Kings Landing over the course of its final two episodes.
Game of Thrones continues on HBO in the US, and is screened simultaneously at 2 AM on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK, on Sunday night.
