John Bradley West, who plays Samwell Tarley in the HBO drama Game Of Thrones, was on the long running BBC quiz show hoping to raise money for the Christie, a leading charity in cancer care, research and education.
Much like his character in the fantasy show John was able to exhibit his book smarts, winning the competition outright, beating Crista Cullen, DJ Mark Bright and Hollyoaks actress Anna Passey in the process.
After the show he took to Instagram to voice his joy at winning the show:
Yeah so it looks like I WON Celebrity Mastermind. ?????Family and friends should be warned that I may be unbearable company for the next few days. Seriously though it was a great experience with lovely people and I’m so happy to raise some money for @christiecharity. They give so much hope to people going through cancer and in 2011 their amazing work meant I didn’t have to say goodbye to my mum.

So there you have it. Not only is he a bookworm in the show, it looks like he's one in real life as well. Plus he's able to slay Whitewalkers... is there anything the man can't do?
