Warning: this article contains spoilers on the last ever episode of Game of Thrones!

If you managed to watch last night's series finale of Game of Thrones, you'll know that Bran ends up winning the Iron Throne.

Of course, all of the actors were expected to keep shtum about the identity of the eventual ruler of the Seven Six Kingdoms, but also about who ends up making it out alive until the very end.

And technically, that's exactly what they did.

But, as it turns out, Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark aka the recently crowned Queen in the North, gave away a major spoiler as to the outcome of the finale.

You see, last June when the cast and crew wrapped filming for the eighth and final season of the show, the 23-year-old decided to get a special tattoo to commemorate her character and the eight long years she spent playing her on the hit HBO show.

Turner explains the meaning behind the spoiler tattoo:

It was a tattoo of the Stark house wolf with the words 'The pack survives' written under it.

At the time, she said it was a reference to a line in the seventh season. And while that may be true, it was also a huge spoiler for the fate of the Stark children.

Relive Sansa receiving her crown and becoming Queen of the North:

And that's because every single one of the Stark children (including her own character, Arya, Bran and the guy who turns out not to be their half-brother Jon Snow) had made it to the end of the final episode very much alive.

Funnily enough, late night talk show host James Corden asked the actress whether the tattoo was a spoiler (check out the video above), to which she replied that it wasn't - just something "I like to live by".

"Yeah, actually while I was getting it done, people advised me not to because it looked like I was giving everything away, but I wasn’t," she told Corden. "It’s just quote from last season. But everyone figures the pack really does survive, but it’s just a moral that I like to live by."

Okay, so Turner says it wasn't, but let's be real, it was totally a spoiler.
