Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey, who is due to give birth in the next 6 weeks, has revealed she is having a baby girl.

The actress, who plays Game of Thrones' Cersei Lannister, announced in February that she is pregnant with her second child.

Headey revealed that she is having a daughter through a guest blog she wrote for Plan International USA titled 'My Daughter'.

Headey wrote: "I am having a baby girl in six weeks. You have all been so lovely in your messages to me, and I thank you for that.

"My daughter will have freedom of choice. She will be free to dance, to sing, to be educated in the fields that spark her passion, to marry if she wants, to marry WHO she wants, to remain single, or to fall in love with another woman. 

"She'll be able to wear what she wants, put on lipstick, and read books that spark debate and expand her mind. She will be loved, protected, respected, and celebrated.

"All these things that should be, and will be, basic human rights, are a promise to my daughter. My humble request is that you give what you can and maybe - just maybe - we can bring about the change we all wish to see."

Headey already has a 5-year-old son named Wylie with ex-husband Peter Loughran.
