House of the Dragon star Olivia Cooke has revealed that she was "very hungover" on her first day on set of the Game of Thrones prequel, as she got drunk the night before with Alan Carr.

Olivia, is one of several new faces set to make an appearance in the sixth episode of the HBO series, after a 10 year time jump. She will become the older version of Lady Alicent Hightower, and take over the role from Emily Carey.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actor revealed that she spent a fun-filled evening drinking wine with the comedian, after they recorded an episode for his podcast, Alan Carr Life's A Beach.

"He’s got a podcast and he invited me to be on the podcast, and I was very excited," Olivia said, "And my calltime the next day wasn’t until 11, and so I brought a bottle of wine just as a gesture."

"The podcast’s finished and we’re just chatting, chatting, chatting, he’s telling me loads of gossip. More wine, more wine, more wine – I don’t remember getting home," she continued.

She described the situation as: "Really bad, actually. Really bad. And I never do that."

However, Olivia didn't only have a sore head, she also managed to chip her tooth.

She explained: "And then I woke up the next day and I had a chip in my tooth. A very slight chip, but enough that the tongue magnifies it and you’re like, what have I done?"

When asked if her co-stars figured out she was hungover, Olivia said that no guessed that she was slightly under the weather. She added: "No one knew on set…until now. That I was hungover.”

She also gave an update on the state of her tooth, which she had mended, before it got chipped again, after she ate a hard baguette.

"I got it fixed, but then I bit into a baguette a week ago and now I’ve got it back again, just a little one," she explained to Jimmy.

Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 are available on DVD and Blu-ray. House of the Dragon will be airing season one weekly the US on Sundays on HBO, and on Mondays in the UK on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
