Game of Thrones actor Kristian Nairn has pulled out of this year's Strictly Come Dancing "due to unexpected medical reasons", just days after the line-up was announced.
Nairn, 49, is best known for playing Hodor – the guileless servant of House Stark - in HBO's fantasy drama.
He also portrayed Wee John Feeney in the US TV period comedy drama Our Flag Means Death, and is a house music DJ.
"With a heavy heart, I have to step back from this season of Strictly Come Dancing due to unexpected medical reasons," Nairn said in a statement.
