Sophie Turner left 'retching' after 'vile' snog from A-List star while filming

Film star Sophie Turner says a snog with hunky co-star Kit Harington left them both feeling physically sick.

The Game of Thrones colleagues have what they call a sibling-like relationship, forged after playing brother and sister Jon Snow and Sansa Stark in the show. But when the script dropped for upcoming gothic horror movie The Dreadful, things got a little awkward.

Sophie, a producer on the film, thought Kit was perfect to play the male lead. But there was one issue - she was playing his potential love interest and the stars were left with a funny feeling after the snog. It comes after reports of Victoria Beckham's four-word comment to Geri Horner amid Spice Girls 'feud'.

While on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the 29-year-old confessed: "We put it out of our minds, and then when it came to shooting, we were both retching. It was vile. Honestly, the worst." This comes as Sophie issued a savage response after she was mum-shamed over her kids.

Sophie explained that while she hadn't worked with Kit since Game of Thrones wrapped in 2019, their friendly close relationship had continued off-screen. That familiarity made it almost impossible to tackle the romantic scenes they were presented with in the Dreadful.

When director Natasha Kermani asked who she envisioned as the male lead in The Dreadful, she knew Kit was the obvious choice. But the reunion wasn't without it's problems, as she recalled on the show how it all got a little weird.

She recalled: "I sent the script to Kit, and he came back saying, ‘Yeah, I’d love to, but this is going to be really weird, Soph.’ Then I went through the script again and it’s just kiss, kiss, sex, kiss. And suddenly I realised, oh right, that’s my brother."

The awkwardness hit straight away, as their very first scene together involved kissing. She joked that even a scene from her thriller Trust, which required her to stay still in a room with cockroaches and rats crawling over her, didn’t compare to that moment. "Kissing Kit was still worse," she admitted.

The Dreadful is set against the backdrop of the Wars of the Roses in 15th-century England, and follows Anne, played by Sophie, as her fragile existence with her mother-in-law Morwen is upended when a man from her past returns and sparks a dangerous chain of events.

The cast also features Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden, Laurence O’Fuarain, and Jonathan Howard. A release date has yet to be announced, but the film is already generating buzz thanks to its high-profile lead stars.

Although Jon Snow ’s true Targaryen heritage was revealed later, audiences still strongly associated him with Sansa’s family, making the idea of a romance between the two particularly uncomfortable. Sophie previously joked to Vogue: "Sorry guys, it’s weird for all of us."

This comes after her recent confession that she once accidentally broke up a celebrity couple at a Comic-Con afterparty. A simple wave to an actor her friend admired spiralled into chaos when his fiancée confronted Turner for "flirting" with him.

The pair ended their engagement that same night. Turner laughed: "Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]. I didn’t realise I held this power."
