Natalie Dormer, who plays Margaery Tyrell on Game of Thrones, has recalled filming a "very awkward" scene for the show's most recent season.

The 32-year-old star told Jonathan Ross about the scene in which her character flirts with the much younger Tommen Baratheon, played by Dean-Charles Chapman.

Dormer explained, "DC, as I affectionately call him, Dean-Charles, was 16 at the time.  It was very awkward for me, I had a whole conversation about how that scene was written, I kind of altered how that scene was written."

She added, "It wasn't as ambiguous and I was like 'we need to talk about this' and for a woman just to throw her sensuality, her sexuality at a young male is just so on the nose and so obvious and the last thing Margaery Tyrell is, is obvious. She's far more skilled than that."

Game of Thrones is set to return to Sky Atlantic in Spring 2015.
