'That howl ripped through my heart': Game Of Thrones star Lena Headey comforts herself with retail therapy after admitting slaughter episode left her in tears
Who knew that wicked Cersei Lannister had a heart?
Or at least Lena Headey, who plays the evil Queen Regent in Game Of Thrones, does - after admitting Sunday's dramatic slaughter episode left her in tears.
Lena, who was spotted shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles on Monday, took to Twitter, explaining how the death scene of onscreen rival Catelyn Stark (played by Michelle Fairley) and her son Robb (Richard Madden) moved her to the core.

'I cried. Michelle Fairley is one of my favorite actors to watch,' 39-year-old Headey wrote.
'She is so present. That howl for her son ripped through.. my heart. On a personal level I shall miss my pal.'
Lena looked worlds apart from her calculating alter ego Cersei on the shopping trip, trading her regal gowns for a retro, ripped pair of dungarees.
She teamed the look with tasselled suede boots and a black handbag.

While Lena found it all rather emotional to watch, her fellow co-star, 16-year-old Maisie Williams (who plays Arya Stark, the daughter of Catelyn Stark) posted an online video poking fun at the dramatic death scene.
Speaking in an exaggerated American accent, Maisie says: 'They dead. Like so dead. Like OMG dead. My mother and brother are dead.'
Meanwhile Fairley admitted it was incredibly difficult to record the scenes with her on-screen son of three years, Scottish actor Richard Madden.
She said: 'After the week of filming that whole sequence, when we wrapped on set and said Goodbye to the crew it was very emotional, but I think all of [us] felt this huge achievement and relief in a way almost.
'From my point of view and Richard's there was incredible sadness because it was a combination of 3 years of work.
Richard also confessed he was so emotional afterwards he went straight to the airport in Belfast, Northern Ireland to catch a flight so he could get back to his home in England.
He said: 'I cried the whole way. I was the crazy boy on the plane crying at about midnight, landing in London.'
