Alfie played Theon Greyjoy in the smash hit series and his character has seen a huge change since the beginning as he’s overcome many challenges.

Posting an image to Instagram of his character’s armour the 32-year captioned it with an emoji of a broken heart.

Those who had seen the episode already knew the fate of Theon and that his character had finally got the redemption he craved after betraying the Starks.

However many didn’t and couldn’t help but tell the actor off for his untimely revelation.

One wrote: “SPOILER!”

While another asked: “You couldn’t wait 24 hours?”
And one dismayed follower just wrote: “Noooooooo”

Among all the deaths the epic battle against the Night King brought about, Theon’s was the most painful of them all.

While protecting Bran from the wights as they attempted to lure out the Night King, Theon saw off a massive attack from the White Walkers.

As the Night King begins to slowly walk towards them and they’re again surround by the army of the dead, Bran tells Theon, “You're a good man, Theon. Thank you.”

Finally accepting he’s been forgiven by his former family, Theon jumped into the fray and tears flowed freely down his cheeks as he knew that redemption was at hand.

The Night King stabbed in the stomach and killed him but he died as an honorable soldier, brother and friend fighting and dying for the very Starks he had wronged.

Among all the reactions Greyjoy's character got, his arc is incredibly redeeming and will not to be forgotten for a while. It may even be one of the most memorable deaths of this season.
