'Game of Thrones' star Lena Headey had a fairly unexpected reaction to episode 1

Lena Headey may be a die-hard Lannister in the Game of Thrones world, but on Twitter her allegiances lie elsewhere.

Once the first episode of Season 7 had been shown in the UK, Headey (a.k.a. everyone's least favourite ruler, Cersei Lannister), shared her thoughts on the characters who came across best.

And they may not have been what everyone was expecting.

To be fair, they did both have excellent episodes. Sansa proved exactly how much of a badass tactician she is these days, and the Hound showed his softer side.

If only Headey's alter-ego was as humble.
