Game of Thrones fans are eagerly awaiting the final season, which is set to arrive on our screens next month.

But an epic battle scene from the show was very nearly ruined when a helicopter was spotted flying over the set near Belfast.

Entertainment Weekly's James Hibberd was present with the production team when the incident happened and reported that a "ridiculously sensitive" scene was being filmed at the time.

Concerns were raised that the helicopter may have been photographing the set in order to leak spoilers, but it was later confirmed to have been a police helicopter.

Ian Power and Claire Grady discussed this and some of the other stories making the news this week.
