Halliwell shared a video clip of the exchange on Instagram, which went like this:

“You know nothing, Jon Snow!” Halliwell says in something not too dissimilar from her usual accent.

“You know nothing, Jon Snow,” she tries again.

Then Harrington steps in, showing her how it’s done.

“You know nothing, Jon Snow,” he says, in as serious a tone as he can muster.

Halliwell tries again, this time getting her long vowels and the deep tone just right. “Yeah. That’s it! You got the part!” Harrington exclaims.

Sadly though, it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing Ginger Spice brushing shoulders with White Walkers in the next season of the show, as it seems her successful attempt was just a fluke.

Harrington wasn’t impressed with her final attempt, simply saying: “Now you’ve lost it again!”

Sorry and all that Geri, but we assume the door is now open for our own efforts…
