Sophie Turner happy to be paid less than Kit Harington on Game Of Thrones

Game Of Thrones actor Sophie Turner says she is content that co-star Kit Harington earned more than her on the show – because he did more work.

Sophie, 23, is said to make £158,000 per episode playing Sansa Stark in the epic series.

But top stars like kit, 32, who plays Sansa’s illegitimate brother Jon Snow, have reportedly had a bumper pay rise, taking them from £370,000 to £537,000 an episode.

Ahead of the eighth and final series, starting on Sky Atlantic on April 14, Sophie said: “Kit got more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline.

“For the last series, he had something crazy like 70 night shoots and I didn’t have that many. I was like, ‘You keep that money’.”

Brit Sophie, who is engaged to singer Joe Jonas, 29, also revealed their wedding this summer will be a small affair.

“We’re trying to keep it as low-key as possible so it’s more intimate,” she said.
