There “ain’t no body double,” according to the Khaleesi herself…
The latest Game of Thrones episode, titled Book Of The Stranger, saw Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) set a house on fire and stand naked in the glowing orange embers.
Pretty impressive. Now the actress has tipped us off about an upcoming sex scene too.
In an interview with EW, she said, “I’d like to remind people that the last time I took my clothes off was in season 3. That was a while ago.
“It’s now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I’m just feeling genuinely happy I said ‘Yes.’ That ain’t no body double. It’s so exciting, very tingly-making. Every season I get at least one spine-chilling moment.’”
Previously the star, referring to herself as “the Queen of Dragons,” attacked several tabloid newspapers on Instagram that had quoted her for saying she had a “problem” showing sex scenes. She now wants to make it clear that isn’t the case:
“Sometimes explicit scenes are required and make sense for the characters/story, as they do in Westeros. If it’s gratuitous for gratuitous sake, then I will discuss with a director on how to make it more subtle.”

If the Twitter reaction is anything to go by, fans are pretty excited…
If Emilia Clark showed up naked in front of me I would bow down too #GameofThrones
