From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

In Game of Thrones unlikely romance news, Brienne of Tarth and Tormund Giantsbane might well be on, but far less likely is a Daenerys Targaryen and Ser Jorah tryst.

“I love you” he recently confessed to Khaleesi, an admission that prompted her to well up a little and send her guardian on a mission to cure himself of greyscale.

Daenerys’ love for Jorah might actually be purely platonic, but this probably won’t stop him from believing that if he returns healed he might be in for some rudimentary desert tent sex.

Jorah actor Iain Glen previously said that he’d like to see his character go out in a heart attack while making love to Khaleesi, and his desire doesn't seem to have changed.

“That's what I'd really like. I think that would be a good scene, don't you?” he told Vulture this week. “If I'm brave enough, I'll suggest it to [showrunners] Dan [Weiss] and David [Benioff]. Jorah dies doing it. Perfect. [Laughs.]”

I’m sure fans would be delighted for Jorah should it happen, but Glen fears his days on the show could be numbered (there is no known cure for greyscale in Westeros).

“It’s a worry, they've got a worried actor on their hands,” he confessed. “For any actor on the show, most of the time we're just thinking, "Please keep me alive!" I've been very lucky to be a part of the show, right back to the pilot.

“If I go out in the madness of greyscale, then I'll have thought I've done very well. It's been a complete treat to be a part of the show. They're a lovely group of people. But the greyscale has definitely got this actor worried, I'll be honest about that.”

Our money is on Jorah disappearing from the show for a few episodes now, perhaps later returning having found a cure, but dying defending his Khaleesi.
