Sophie Turner was ‘teased’ by Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington after she sent him a ‘heartfelt’ goodbye letter.

The actress, who was convinced that his character Jon Snow had been killed off, decided to pen a farewell note to her co-star on what she thought was his last day on set.

But ever since Snow miraculously came back to life at the beginning of Season 6, Harington has been ‘taking the micky’ out of Turner.

Speaking on This Morning, she said: “Kit told me in the fifth series he was going, and I wrote a really long letter about how much I was going to miss him and how much I like working with him.

“And then he comes back next season and said, ‘I've still got your letter, it's so funny!’ And he shows it to people, just to take the mickey.”

Harington has admitted to feeling guilty about having to lie to friends and family about his big return.

Other half and former co-star Rose Leslie recently said: “The man's alive - who knew?

“I think everyone played their parts, it was quite hard. I think Kit struggled to look some of his dearest friends in the eye and lie."

Thanks to her role in Games of Thrones, Turner bagged herself in the role in the new X-Men film.

The British star plays a young Jean Grey in X-Men: Apocalypse, opposite Jennifer Lawrence and James McAvoy.
