GAME of Thrones star Rose Leslie looks unrecognisable in her rarely seen TV debut - on popular docudrama series Banged Up Abroad.

The Scots actress, who played Ygritte on the fantasy epic, entered the showbiz scene in 2008 when she was cast in an episode about drug smuggling in Peru.

But surprisingly her first major TV appearance was in an episode of Banged Up Abroad

Rose, 34, quickly moved onto bigger and better things after her modest start, landing a part in Games of Thrones only four years later.

She’s also featured in other hit shows such as Downton Abbey, Luther and Vigil.
While next month she’ll be seen as Louise Bourget in big-budget movie Death on the Nile.

The film, which also stars the likes of Gal Gadot, Kenneth Branagh and Emma Mackey, is released on February 11 and follows Hercule Poirot as he investigates the murder of a young heiress while on holiday in the Nile.

Away from the screen, Rose is married to former Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington.

The pair fell in love after playing short-lived on-screen couple Jon Snow and Ygritte on the fantasy series.

Unfortunately the fictional couple weren’t to last after Ygritte met her untimely end.
