As part of her day job, Lena Headey is used to dishing out insults playing Cersei Lannister in HBO series Game of Thrones.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's chat show in the States, the actress was asked to deliver insults from long-running series The Bachelor - the reality show which follows a single male who chooses a wife from a pool of romantic interests - in the style of everybody's favourite cold-blooded Queen.

Goblet of wine in hand, Headey took to the task like a pro.

Staring down the camera, she snarled: "I don't think there's one girl here who's competition; I think I'm way prettier than everyone else" as well as the gem: "I'm going to punch her in the face - like seriously."

Not bad for someone who, by their own admission, has never seen an episode.

Earlier this week, new teasers for Game of Thrones' sixth season were unveiled, each focusing on the three main families featured in the fantasy series.

Season six begins airing on Sky Atlantic from 24 April.
