Sophie Turner has said she tries not to think about Game of Thrones coming to an end as she has grown up on the set of the show.
The actress, who plays Sansa Stark in the series, told Town & Country that she feels a real connection to her character, "Sansa and I have grown up together for the past five years.
"And so when I'm reading the script and something happens to her, I cry all the time. There is a real connection between us - I feel everything she feels. I'd come on set and see something like Ned's [her character's father] beheading, a heavy, heavy scene to shoot. Having my mum on set for the first three years was really important back then. Because if you get too wrapped up in that darkness, it can really damage you."
She added of the series eventual end, "I do think about what it will be like when it's all over. Although I don't want to. My whole adolescence has been on Game of Thrones.
"I don't know what I'm going to do without it. There's this huge family that I've come back to every year. And the first time it gets to July and I don't go back there, it's really going to freak me out."
Game of Thrones return to Sky Atlantic on April 13.
