Hannah Waddingham Just Revealed 1 Startling Detail About Her Most Iconic Game Of Thrones Scene

Hannah Waddingham in Cannes earlier this weekHannah Waddingham has revealed that her most infamous Game Of Thrones scene played out in real life in a slightly less dramatic fashion than it did on screen.The Emmy winner played Septa Unella in the fifth season of the hit fantasy drama, a character who is perhaps better known to viewers as the “shame nun”.Septa Unella’s most iconic scene saw her walking Lena Headey’s character Cersei Lannister through a naked walk of atonement through Westeros, while sounding a bell and repeating the word “shame”.Hannah Waddingham as Septa Unella in season five of Game Of ThronesOn Friday morning, the British star paid a visit to Greg James’ Radio 1 show for a game of “unpopular opinion”, where he presented Hannah with a brand new shame bell to use as she saw fit.And she was particularly keen to get her hands on one – as she wasn’t actually allowed to ring the bell when filming Game Of Thrones.“Can I point something out that people don’t know?” she began. “When we actually shot it, [there was] no bell… they added it in post.”“Because you can’t have this,” she added, demonstrating that a real bell adds all kinds of unappealing echoes that might have taken viewers out of the moment.Hannah then put her new shame bell to good use – first for one Radio 1 listener who only wanted to eat baked beans cold and straight from the tin, and then for another who was calling for all soaps to be banned.“I ding my shame bell in your face,” the Ted Lasso star quipped when the caller in question called soap stars’ acting into question.“There are great actors in soaps, actually – and they have to do so many hours on camera it is completely ludicrous.”Hannah Waddingham and her new "shame bell"This isn’t the first time that Hannah has lifted the lid on one of her most memorable Game Of Thrones episodes, though.She previously opened up at length about shooting a sequence in which Septa Unella is waterboarded – revealing how “other than childbirth, it was the worst day of my life”.In 2021, Hannah also told Kelly Clarkson that she kept her real shame bell as a souvenir from her time on Game Of Thrones after her character was killed off.“That’s when you know your character is really dead, when they give you the hero thing,” she quipped.READ MORE:Game Of Thrones' Hannah Waddingham Says Filming Horrific Torture Scene Was Among 'Worst Days Of Her Life'Hannah Waddingham Had A Hilarious Reaction To A Certain House Of The Dragon SceneThis Is What Hannah Waddingham Said To Get Such A Big Laugh Out Of Prince William
