He says although the analysis “relies on data taken from the world of fantasy, the exact same artificial intelligence techniques are used in the real world.”

Daenerys Targaryen has the highest chance of survival, at 99 per cent, and Bronn is the most likely to die next.

Only time will tell, but the series is notoriously unpredictable.

The show’s eighth and final season starts Sunday.
