Game of Thrones: The wink that reveals Jon Snow's fate

It's the question Game of Thrones fans want answering: Is Jon Snow still alive? Well, it looks like the mystery has finally been solved - with a wink from Daenerys Targaryen herself, Emilia Clarke.

Emilia gave a hint at his fate while presenting at a recent awards show.

She was asked to wink if Jon Snow is still alive - and she did.

Understandably, fans got a bit excited at this news - especially as Jon Snow has been spotted on set in Belfast recently.

"SHE WINKED."

"That wink!"

During the last episode of series five Jon Snow, played by Kit Harington, is stabbed by another member of the Night's Watch and is left lying in a pool of his own blood.

The "is he or isn't he" debate has been running for months now and Natalie Dormer, who plays Margaery Tyrell, has publicly shared her own views on the issue.

Natalie told 5 News: "If you get stabbed that many times, you're dead, you know. There are some basic medical rules that even apply in Westeros. So Jon Snow is dead right now."

And of course, this isn't the first time Emilia has let slip that Jon Snow might be returning as more than a corpse.

The Mother of Dragons said she "didn't know" whether he was dead or alive when asked the question in previous interviews.

"I don't know."
