We might never get to see Game of Thrones' forbidden relationship that is Tormund and Brienne, but you're about to witness the next best thing.

Obviously Digital Spy ships them, and now we know for sure that Kristofer Hivju ships them too, because he's only gone and roleplayed the moment we've all been hoping for – using action figures.

Kristofer has Brienne attacking Tormund with her sword as soon as he tries to get near her – of course – and then he makes sure they have a good old smooch.

After he'd had his fun acting out every fan's wildest dreams, the star sat down for a chat about Tormund's romantic side on his Facebook page .

It comes just as we find out exactly what the pair were talking about in a background moment in the season seven premiere 'Dragonstone'.

The episode's director Jeremy Podeswa revealed to INSIDER that the scene involved the two stars ad-libbing "a bunch of conversations", adding that there was one conversation scripted.

"There is one thing that they scripted and they riffed on that, which is Tormund says something about his relationship with Sheila the Bear," Podeswa explained.

"And nobody knows what that means or what that's all about, so that's meant to make Brienne look at him askance. He's either trying to shock her or he's just oblivious that he's saying something that's crazy."

Back in season four, Tormund claimed he'd slept with a bear named Sheila, so there you go.

As much as we love shipping Tormund and Brienne, it could lead to one of them getting killed, so we best be a bit careful there.

Game of Thrones continues on Sunday (July 23) in the US on HBO, simulcast in the early hours of Monday in the UK on Sky Atlantic.
