​We\'re all still very emotional about THAT

season five ending, and completely unsure as to whether Jon Snow is even dead or not - and we\'ve actually spoken to the man himself. 

But we should also spare a thought for John Bradley - who plays Jon\'s loveable best mate Samwell Tarly. We\'ve yet to see the character\'s reaction, but how did the actor take it? Quite hard, it seems.

So is Jon Snow still alive in Game of Thrones or not? Let\'s investigate

"I didn\'t know about it," he told Digital Spy​. "When you read something like that, even though you\'re a fan of the show and the character, it\'s hard not to let your personal, real-life emotions come into it.

"You think, \'It\'s terrible that Jon Snow\'s not going to be in it anymore\', but it\'s more terrible for me that Kit\'s not going to be on set every day. Not that I\'d be acting with him anyway [if he survived], but that presence will be missing."

He continued: "People from season one are quite thin on the ground now, so all the old compadres are being taken out of it.

"Jon Snow dying - boo hoo, get over it. But my professional relationship with this guy that I love very much, who is the first person I ever acted with professionally, I\'m not going to ever do that again, so it\'s hard to stop those real things creeping into it.​"

But do we believe him? Kit Harington has definitely been spotted filming scenes for season six, but are we just delaying the sad inevitable?

The season five DVD and Blu-ray boxset will be released on March 14.
