Showbiz roundup: Emilia Clarke almost broke a leg

GAME OF THRONES star EMILIA CLARKE has revealed why she has been hobbling about on crutches — she simply slipped. The actress — Daenerys Targaryen in the hit HBO show — has been pictured sporting some kind of leg injury.

She told the BBC’s Radio 1 Breakfast Show with NICK GRIMSHAW that she had a nickname for the crutches.

“They’re called Bill and Ben, I’ve got a stress fracture on my hip,” she said. “I want to say it’s for doing Parkour or something. But I just slipped. It’s really boring.”
