Forget the time Hodor turned out to be a DJ, another Game of Thrones star is blowing people's minds with his side-career.

It turns out the actor who plays Arya's baker friend Hot Pie is an actual baker, and has a real bakery where he sells direwolf bread.

On the latest episode of Game of Thrones, we finally learned what happened to Hot Pie - who we haven't seen since season four - when he turned up to point Arya in the right direction and give her some baking tips.

Perfect timing for Arya, but also for Ben Hawkey - the actor who plays Hot Pie. Timed to launch alongside the seventh season, Hawkey has partnered with UK food delivery app Deliveroo to open a pop up bakery perfectly named "You Know Nothing Jon Dough".

And if that's not great enough, it sells direwolf-shaped loaves of bread which, according to Hawkey, are made from his own secret recipe.

Sadly, you have to be in the UK to get in on the goods, but it's nice just to know that Hot Pie's following his calling.

Catch up on our Game of Thrones podcast below, in which we discuss that horrific moment in the latest episode where we cut from Jorah's gross greyscale to Hot Pie's glorious pies:
