Warning: This article contains HUGE spoilers from Game of Thrones season six, episode nine 'Battle of the Bastards', which airs on Sky Atlantic in the UK tonight (June 20).
One of the stars at the centre of the action on the latest episode of Game of Thrones has reflected on the dramatic events of 'Battle of the Bastards'.
Jon Snow and his wildling army took on the full force of the Boltons, spearheaded by the loathsome Ramsay Bolton in this week's episode - leaving fans breathless.
The ferocious fight concluded with the long-awaited - and gruesome - demise of Iwan Rheon's Ramsay, fed to his hungry dogs by Sansa Stark.
Rheon has now told Entertainment Weekly that, much like the audience, he thinks his demented character got what was coming to him.
"I'm glad it happens as a fan of the show," he admitted. "Jon Snow needs to win because otherwise there's no hope left in the world.

"And afterward, Ramsay still thinks he's won. He's so arrogant and self assured he thinks he'll still be fine - until the last minute. He always thinks he's going to be okay."
Rheon said that he felt "lucky" to get such a dramatic send-off, quipping: "It's so ironic - he's been banging on about those hounds all this time!"
He added of Ramsay's final moments: "It's a good scene. It leaves Sansa in an interesting place as a character, because he's saying, 'I'm inside you now'.
"It's horrible, and I think he probably has done some damage. He's gotten in her head. But I think it's nice too, because it's such a great scene to go out on."
Game of Thrones airs tonight at 9pm on Sky Atlantic, while season six concludes next week with 'The Winds of Winter' on HBO and Sky Atlantic.
