Maisie won the job from 300 other actresses and it was her first professional job. She was cast as Arya in August 2009 just a few months after her 12th birthday and the pilot episode was filmed that October.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine Maisie alluded to hostility in her family history saying: “It was a situation myself and my siblings and my mother, we went through together. Her parents split up with she was four months old and her birth father is not in her life but her step dad is and she has spoken before publicly about her love for him.

She moved out of her family home aged 16, not because she didn’t get on with her family but simply because she wanted a room for herself after sharing a bedroom. A photo in The Three Lions pub on West Street featuring Maisie Williams (front row) (Image: James Beck)
