The night is dark and full of spoilers.
Have you watched episode one of Game Of Thrones season six yet? If you answered no, turn back now because there is a BIG spoiler ahead.
The new season started strong with a big reveal about everyone’s favourite red witch Melisandre.

The reveal came after Melisandre takes off her necklace. Book readers and attentive watchers of the show will have noticed that the jewel on her necklace glows bright red whenever some red god magic is going down.
Predictably Twitter had a meltdown when they discovered the truth:

Daniel, I think we need to talk…
Also some eagle-eyed fans pointed out that the character has been seen without her necklace before – but still looking rather young…
What a way to kick off season 6 though, roll on the rest of the series!
