Sophie Turner left 'retching' after 'vile' kiss with co-star

Sophie Turner was left "retching" after a "vile" kiss on set with an A-list star, in an awkward moment during filming of her new horror film The Dreadful.

Turner told Late Night host Seth Meyers that the A-lister in question was her Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harrington, who also stars alongside her in The Dreadful.

The pair played brother and sister in the medieval drama series for eight seasons, so Turner said playing lovers made them both feel sick.

Turner, who is also a producer on the film, said she got Harrington involved after the director asked her if she had any casting recommendations.

"Immediately, I thought of Kit," she said.

"I sent the script to Kit, and he kind of sent me a message back going like, 'Yeah, I'd love to, but this is going to be really f***ing weird, Soph.'"

"And I was like, 'What is he talking about?'"

"Then I was reading [the script] and it's like, 'Kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex…'

"And then I'm like, 'Oh, shoot, that's my brother.'"

Despite the pair both acknowledging it would be weird, they went ahead with the project, Turner explained.

"We put it out of our minds, and then we get on set and it's the first kissing scene, and we are both retching," she said.

"Like, really, it is vile.

"It was the worst."

The Dreadful follows the story of Anne, played by Turner, and her mother-in-law Morwen, played by Marcia Gay Harden, who live on the outskirts of society.

A man from their past named Jargo, played by Harrington, returns setting off a sequence of events that "become a turning point for Anne", according to IMDB. 

The film's release date hasn't been confirmed yet.
