Asked about equal pay, the actress, 23, told Harper's Bazaar UK: "Kit got more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline.

"And for the last series, he had something crazy like 70 night shoots and I didn't have that many. I was like, 'You know what... you keep that money."'

The British actress, who stars on the May cover of the magazine, said she doesn't boast traditional Hollywood looks.

"Everyone can see what I'm really like in Game Of Thrones. I have a big nose and tiny little eyes and a double chin and that's OK. I'm learning to love my bumpy nose," she said.

Turner also revealed she is planning a small wedding to fiance and singer Joe Jonas.

"We were following each other on Instagram and he direct-messaged me one fine day, out of the blue. He's lovely. He's just the funniest. You wouldn't expect he's about to turn 30 this year. He's the most fun, energetic, positive person I've ever seen. I'm pessimistic, so we balance each other out."

Turner described filming the final Game Of Thrones series as "like a death in the family", adding: "I'm losing the character I've played so long."
