Liam Cunningham has hinted that he may appear in the next season of BBC One drama Merlin.

"Flew from Dublin to Cardiff yesterday to be a corpse today," he wrote on Twitter. "I rehearsed the scene after a few pints last night."

The Dubliner currently plays Ser Davos Seaworth in Game of Thrones. Cunningham added that his tweet was "definitely not" related to his role in the HBO fantasy drama, currently running on Sky Atlantic

"[It's related to] a different job," he insisted. Cunningham later wrote: "Been filming with the wonderful Richard Wilson. Can you believe it?"

Wilson – best known for the role of Victor Meldrew in the popular BBC sitcom One Foot in the Grave - plays Gaius in Merlin, which concluded its fourth run on Christmas Eve 2011.
