No surpise there. The little fire-breathers are adorable. Well, aside from when they turn their flaming tongues on their mum's enemies and burn them to a crisp...

Speaking about filming with the series' iconic fantasy creatures, the Mother of Dragons said: "Whenever I’m separate from the dragons, they have life-scale models, which look brilliant and I get very attached to.

"But whenever I’m actually handling the dragons themselves, it’s green tennis balls, which is challenging."

What? Green tennis balls? The dragons aren't actually real? Next you'll be telling us those direwolves are a CGI creation too...

Speaking to Deadline about Game of Thrones' nominations for this year's Emmy awards, the 26-year-old star also said: "I find myself having the most ridiculous conversations with myself. What do dragon scales feel like? And how heavy is a dragon?”

Don't ask us, we thought you were the expert Daenerys – sorry – Emilia...
