Game of Thrones actors Lena Headey and Jerome Flynn have never appeared in a single scene together due to a previous 'very turbulent relationship'.
It's believed that Lena, who plays Cersei Lannister, 'refused' to film together with Jerome, who plays Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, despite their linked storylines.
The pair have starred in the HBO fantasy epic for eight series and avoided being seen in the same scene.
According to a show insider they had to be kept apart because of a 'bad break-up'.
Lena, 45, and Jerome, 56, acted opposite each other in British TV drama series Soldier Soldier back in the late nineties before Game of Thrones.
The source reportedly told the Sun said: “Lena and Jerome have not filmed together due to a bad break-up.
"They kept the full extent of it secret but it was a very turbulent relationship and it has been very awkward on set.
“Lena has opened up to her trusted friends. She appears to have a genuine hate towards him.”

Their characters in the show have been linked throughout the eight series, as Bronn has played Tyrion and Jaime Lannister's bodyguard before working on behalf of Cersei herself.
The two actors were first linked back in 2002, but have never confirmed or denied they were together.
However Jerome gave a cryptic comment about their relationship back in 2003 after Lena's aunt Anne Headey appeared to confirm they were an item.

He said: "We’re not a couple right now, people have seen us together and jumped to conclusions. I can’t rule out a relationship with her."
The Sun claim that Lena ended their romance in 2014 after Game of Thrones had already begun.
Mirror Online have contacted reps for Jerome, Lena and HBO for comment.
