Lily Allen has spoken out about how she rejected a role in Game Of Thrones as Princess Yara Greyjoy - because she didn't want to get touched up by brother Alfie Allen on the back of a horse.

Allen would have been starring in the show alongside her brother, Alfie, who was cast as Theon Greyjoy back in 2011. Now, in a Reddit Ask My Anything session, Lily revealed that producers asked her to join him on the cast, in a role now played by Gemma Whelan. 

"They asked me if I'd be interested in playing Theon's sister," she said. "I felt uncomfortable because I would have had to go on a horse and he would have touched me up and shit. Once they told me what was entailed, I said no thanks."

Due to the graphic nature of the show, Allen added that she found scenes starring her brother "very difficult to watch" - but she would be "open to" appearing in an episode, but rather with "a musical cameo like Sigur Rós".

There you go then, picture this Sigur Ros cameo below, but with Allen banging out 'Hard Out Here' instead, and question if she'd have the same response from Joffrey. 

Meanwhile, Allen is currently sitting at the top of the UK albums chart with No.1 comeback Sheezus, and is gearing up to appear at Glastonbury festival next month.
