Its been a tense build up to the finale for the GoT fandom, with show favourite Peter Dinklage recently posting an image of the cast - without Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke.

The actor got people speculating on social media by sharing the photograph - minus Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen.

The actor, who plays Tyrion Lannister, has got people talking that the two key characters will be killed off in the final season.

He captioned the image, which also included Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, with a flame sign - and nothing else.

Also missing from the cast pic was Lena Headey, who plays Cersei Lannister, who also didn't go unnoticed.

One fan questioned: "The last survivors?";

Another asked: "Where the f*** is Jon Snow? Is this a hint to all those that survive?"

Another avid fan wrote: “Everyone not in this pic dies in next series!”

One user commented: “Are these the only ones remaining alive at the end?”

Brit star Kit Harington recently admitted he had to have therapy to deal with the fame and anxiety when Jon Snow was 'killed off' in season 5.

The actor said: "You get people shouting at you on the street, ‘Are you dead?’ At the same time you have to have this appearance.

“All of your neuroses — and I’m as neurotic as any actor — get heightened with that level of focus.”

He continued: "When you become the cliffhanger of a TV show, and a TV show probably at the height of its power, the focus on you is f****** terrifying."

The 32-year-old said finally taking off Jon Snow's cloak was “very emotional” and it felt like it was “shedding” a part of him.
