Game Of Thrones smashed its own ratings record on Sunday, thanks to latest instalment First Of His Name.
The episode bought in a massive 7.2 million to US network HBO; rising to 8.6 million with repeat airings factored in.
This means the show has been climbing for four consecutive weeks; and is breaking its all-time high on a weekly basis. Not bad!
Across all platforms, Digital Spy reports that the show has averaged 17.8 million viewers per episode, marking an increase of 24% year-on-year.

Today, writer George R R Martin has addressed criticism that his stories feature too much "gratiuous" sexual violence; saying he is trying to paint an accurate picture.
He told the New York Times: "An artist has an obligation to tell the truth. My novels are epic fantasy, but they are inspired by and grounded in history.
"Rape and sexual violence have been a part of every war ever fought, from the ancient Sumerians to our present day. To omit them from a narrative centered on war and power would have been fundamentally false and dishonest, and would have undermined one of the themes of the books: that the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves. We are the monsters. (And the heroes too).
"Each of us has within himself the capacity for great good, and great evil."
Lupita Nyong'o has shared her photo with Beyonce - joking that she is still fangirling over it.
The 12 Years A Slave star, who picked up an Oscar in March and was recently crowned PEOPLE Magazine's Most Beautiful, reposted the pic that Queen Bey herself shared earlier today (May 6).

"YUP! This happened!!!!," Lupita wrote, along with the hashtag "#StillScreamingInside".
The 'Pretty Hurts' singer had posted the pic first, which also features her sister Solange Knowles and Lupita's fellow Slave star Sarah Poulson.
Lupita looks cool, calm and collected in the snap - while Beyonce, if anything, looks like the fan!
Lady Gaga opened her latest tour in typically confident fashion, stripping naked for a costume change while still on stage.
Telling the Florida crowd she's 'not afraid to get dirty', the singer stepped out of a skin-tight black ensemble - leaving just her knickers and some silver pasties - as her team of stylists wrapped her into her next costume.
Three more founding cast members of Grey's Anatomy have reportedly signed up for two more seasons of the smash ABC drama.
Potential 11th and 12th seasons will allegedly definitely feature Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr - who have played Alex Karev, Miranda Bailey and Richard Webber since the very first season.

Furthermore, Sara Ramirez, who joined in season two as Callie Torres, is also thought to have inked a new deal.
As for the leads, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), their participation was first reported way back in January.
The news comes after Sandra Oh departed the series as Cristina Yang after being a regular fixture since the very beginning.
Tonight the first sixteen countries on the Eurovision slate will perform for a spot in this weekend's final, in the first semi.
It's exciting stuff, and as ever UK viewers can catch all the action on BBC Three, safe in the knowledge that our very own Molly has a free-pass to the weekend's festivities.
The line-up tonight is crowded, but let's examine the five songs that have caught the most love from the bookies in the run-up to the showdown.
5. Azerbaijan Dilara Kazimova has accrused 1.4 million YouTube views for the music video to her tune 'Start A Fire', and she's in fifth spot on the bookies' leaderboard with 6/1 odds of winning, according to PaddyPower. It's a pretty piano-led ballad, and she sings it well... but it doesn't feel like it has enough go-power to go the distance. What do you think?

4. Ukraine It's a little politically uncomfortable tonight, with Russia and Ukraine facing off in the same heat - but it's the latter who is tipped to come out on top, if either. Maria Yaremchuk is flying the flag with 'Tick-Tock', which comes complete with hand-claps AND whistles. SportingBet rate her at 11/2 to win.

3. Hungary Hungary are picking up a lot of support as potential winners of the whole thing, so it's easy to see why their odds are at just 4/1 with the likes of SkyBet. Kallay-Saunders is the singer, 'Running' is the song, and the drum-and-bass chorus ensures it a crossover audience.

2. Sweden Sanna Nielsen has tried SIX TIMES to represent her nation at Eurovision and this time she's finally done it. She has 9/4 odds of scooping tonight's top spot with ballad 'Undo' - and you'd be a fool to bet against the Swedes in a game of pop. Plus - does this sound a bit 'Wrecking Ball'-like to you?

1. Armenia The host of the Armenian version of The X Factor (!!!) is the favourite to win tonight - and it's Aram MP3. 'Not Alone' is the song - do you rate its chances? With 2/1 odds, many clearly do...
Made In Chelsea star Lucy Watson has shown off her amazing bikini figure in a series of holiday snaps which she has shared with her fans.
With her attention on the blue skies and the blue sea ahead and with her back to the camera, fans got to see Lucy's pert bottom in a white bikini. And whilst the bikini did her justice, the star joked that she had a wedgie, which she used to caption the holiday snap.
In a series of other pictures, Lucy was seen moving away from the sea after finding out how cold it was and snuggling under a towel when the clouds covered the sun.
Whilst Lucy enjoyed her short getaway with a gal pal, she found herself in a Twitter conversation about flirting with her former flame Jamie Laing recently.
The reality TV star, whose relationship with Lucy ended before it began last year, tweeted her: "So embarrassing flirting with me over Twitter" when they began having a discussion about what films they were watching on Friday night.
Jamie tweeted: "Watching movies and not going out on a Friday night is apparently the new cool thing to do", to which Lucy responded with: "@JamieLaing_UK me and @stephaniepratt are watching pochahontas."
Seeing Lucy's tweet as a possible invite, Jamie responded with: "No I will not come over and watch Pocahontas @imLucyWatson @stephaniepratt. So embarrassing flirting with me over twitter."
No I will not come over and watch Pocahontas @imLucyWatson@stephaniepratt. So embarrassing flirting with me over twitter
The Vamps are not only taking the music world by storm at the moment, but they are also set to make their acting debut, with it being confirmed today that the four piece have landed a cameo slot on Hollyoaks.
The band can be seen making the exciting announcement in a newly released YouTube clip, posted by the soap before then being re-tweeted by the group themselves.
Connor Ball, James McVey, Bradley Simpson and Tristan Evans can all be seen in the 32-second clip, saying that they're filming at a "secret location" for an upcoming episode.
The Channel 4 soap later tweeted: "Yeah, that's right, The Vamps are coming to Hollyoaks!!"
Check out the teaser clip below:

And The Vamps' army of dedicated fans were quick to share their excitement after the news was revealed, with them taking to Twitter to post a lot of "Omgs" and "Wtfs".
As if the much-loved group haven't got their work cut out as it is, they also announced their UK tour in support of debut album 'Meet The Vamps' last month.

Kicking off in Sheffield on September 23, The Vamps will play a number of locations including two nights at Glasgow and Manchester before wrapping up with two nights at London's Hammersmith Apollo in October.
Prince William may be second in line to the throne, but that doesn't mean he's above flying in Economy Class on a domestic flight.
The heir was reportedly called "humble" by fellow passengers when he snubbed first class and mingled with Joe Public on the journey back from friend Guy Pelly's wedding to Lizzy Wilson.
He was travelling from Memphis to Dallas with American Airlines, according to The Independent, and then took another flight back to the UK.
Wills in flight (Twitter)
A photo of the Duke of Cambridge mid-air appeared online thanks to US television reporter Eli Ross, who keenly shared a snap on Twitter.
It's not the first time he's shunned his privileges to sit in standard class, as he and his wife Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, have been travelling by Easyjet and Flybe in the past. Nice.
By all accounts Wills and his brother Harry had an "unbelievably wild" time with the festivities - with the latter even caught twerking.
But father-of-one William will presumably have a lot of jetlag to catch up on he returns home - as he'd only just returned from his Royal Tour to Australia and New Zealand when he then zoomed off to the States.
Let's hope Kate and George let him have a lie-in tomorrow!
Michelle Keegan very nearly suffered a wardrobe malfunction earlier today as the wind caught her skirt as she left the ITV studios.
The former Corrie babe had her own Marilyn Monroe moment when her white skirt lifted up in the wind, as she headed home after appearing on ITV's High Street Fashion Awards, looking like she was ready for summer in the flimsy skirt and pale pink jacket, her hair blowing in the breeze.

However, acting like a pro, Michelle simply laughed off the fashion faux pas, waved to waiting paps and drove off in a waiting car.
The stunning brunette has now left popular soap Coronation Street and is getting ready to marry former TOWIE hunk Mark Wright.

Speaking to OK! magazine recently, Michelle said that she can't wait for the big day to arrive.
"Mark makes me really happy, we have banter and laugh all the time - I can't wait to marry him!," she said.
However, Michelle who will also be setting up a home with her beau soon, added: "Mark is really untidy – he's worse than me and I'm bad!"

It may have been suggested that the reported feud between Kylie Jenner and Selena Gomez had been settled recently, after they allegedly fell out because of the KUWTK star's meetings with Gomez's on/off beau Justin Bieber, so we doubt the brunette will be happy to hear that Kylie is planning on inviting the Baby superstar to her sister Kim Kardashian's wedding - if the recent reports are anything to go by!
It has been alleged that Kylie is going to ask Biebs to be her +1 at the upcoming wedding, with reports surrounding the big day for months now.
"Kylie told Selena that she wanted them both to go to her sister's wedding in Paris and by now she's probably asked Justin to go and be her guest of honor," a source told HollywoodLife.

But, it seems like Gomez may be able to breathe a sigh of relief, because despite Bieber sharing a snap of him and Kylie in Vegas over the weekend, sources have said that he is not going to be starting a relationship with the teen anytime soon.
Selena has cut ties with on/off beau Biebs, according to reports (Instagram/Selena Gomez)
"Justin just wants to add to his numbers and conquests and he knows she is totally cool with that," the insider said.
"They didn't care about Selena's feelings because Justin knows he can always get her back. For Kylie and Justin to hook up, it was all about feeding their egos only, they are so jaded that this is how they run their lives," they added.
A rep for Kylie and a rep for Justin have been approached for comment.
Fans of 24 were in heaven last night when new limited season Live Another Day finally arrived.
Overnight data shows that the ratings were strong for the US broadcast on FOX, but they were very slightly down on the average viewership for the last full run of episodes four years ago.

Airing at 8pm, the show went to head-to-head with Dancing With The Stars with The Voice and lost out to both - with the ballroom competition pulling in 12.3 million viewers (8.1 demo) and the music star-hunt managing 10.5 million (6.5 demo).
24: Live Another Day managed 8 million viewers and a 4.6 rating; still enough to batter CBS' 2 Broke Girls (6.5 million, 4.3 demo) and Friends With Better Lives (4.96 million, 3.3 demo).
An average of 9.31 million caught season eight back in 2010, while the show was it its peak for 2006's season five, which averaged 13.78 million viewers per episode.
Live Another Day will span only twelve episodes, as opposed to the usual 24.
Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield can be seen dressed as a woman in Arcade Fire's new music video for their song, We Exist.
In a preview clip lasting just 21 seconds, the actor's short brown hair is disguised by a blonde coloured wig and his body is covered in a white dress.
Whilst Andrew doesn't say anything, the video offers fans a look at the actor transforming himself.

It is thought that the US music festival Coachella provided the backdrop for parts of the music video when the band performed there earlier this year, according to the Independent.
As the clip plays and shows shots of Andrew walking, the words "We exist" are repeated over and over again.
Miley Cyrus is absolutely not a fan of Christina Aguilera, if a new US report is to be believed.
According to Radar Online, the former Hannah Montana star took issue with a recent tweet from the 'Beautiful' singer, even though it was almost certainly a compliment.
"Miley is no friend or supporter of Christina, despite the fact they have a lot in common, including long associations with Disney and using some of same people through the years on their respective business teams," a source told RadarOnline.
Miley: Apparently not an Xtina fan (WENN)
Christina's not even on the show at the moment, and is being temporarily replaced by Shakira - but Miley is still snubbing it.
"Miley is still resisting countless invites to perform on the show," the source said.
"Even if Christina has temporarily stepped aside, The Voice is still Christina's show and Miley doesn't want to lift a finger to help that woman," the source added.

The innocent tweet it all boils down to? When Aguilera wrote about Cyrus' chap-laden concert in February: "Cheers from one dirrty girl to the next @MileyCyrus…wear em' loud & proud, girl-yes!"
Claiming Cyrus was unimpressed, Radar's insider told them: "Miley couldn't believe Xtina would Tweet about her wearing chaps on stage, reminding everyone that she did it first. It was such a fake compliment and undermined Miley in the process.
"Last month Voice bosses made Miley another offer to have her perform on the finale show and Miley said no – and was very clear about her reasons!"
Jon Hamm might be living the high life now having received critical acclaim for various roles including his current one as Don Draper in Mad Men, but it wasn't always that way for the actor as he has revealed that he was a set dresser for soft porn movies.
Remembering his job before he found fame, the actor told Vanity Fair: "I was actually at that time working as a set dresser for Cinemax soft-core-porn movies. It was soul-crushing."
But thankfully, the star's luck began to change and speaking of how much he enjoys playing Mr Draper in Mad Men, Hamm told the magazine:
"This is the best job I've ever had and maybe ever will have in my life — it's so fun to play all of this.
"It can be relentlessly dark. It can be terribly sexually inappropriate, is a way to say it. But who else gets a chance to do any of that stuff? There's so much there."
We love Jon as Don Draper! (WENN)
Despite his praise for the show now, the actor admitted in a recent interview that he wasn't impressed with the title of the show when he saw it first.
Remembering what he thought when he was first introduced to Mad Men, the actor who returned to our screens on Sunday night, told Esquire: "I remember picking it up," he says. "Mad Men: s****y title. AMC: network no-one's ever heard of. Two strikes. Then I read it."
Going on to recall the conversation he had with his then girlfriend when he finished reading the script for the drama situated in the 1960s, Jon continued:
"I said to her, 'This is the best pilot I've ever read in my life.' She's going, 'What?' That's never the response to a pilot. Sometimes, at best, you're like, 'Hey! It's not terrible!' And I just thought, 'I have to be in this show.' And thus began the long, winding road to getting cast."
Ariana Grande has definitely been showing off her sexier side recently and the singer took things up a notch once more, as she was surrounded by shirtless men during a performance of latest single 'Problem' on The Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier today.
Showing off her toned tum in a black crop top and high waisted trousers, Ariana could be seen flicking that infamous ponytail of hers and shaking her hips as she sang along to the much-loved track.
Check out the saucy performance below:

We're sure Jai Brooks is a huge fan of the new sassy Ariana! The former couple fuelled rekindled romance rumours recently when they were snapped kissing at the iHeartRadio Music Awards last week and according to new reports, Jai begged Ariana to take him back, after he accused of her of cheating on him with Nathan Sykes.
"He initially got jealous that she was singing with all of these guys and accused her of cheating on him, which wasn't true," a source told HollywoodLife, adding: "When he came and apologized to her and begged for a second chance, she decided to follow her heart and give him one. She never cheated on him and has always loved him."

Ariana and Jai soon got people talking when they were then snapped making out and sources have said that a rekindled romance is definitely what the brunette singer wants.
"Ariana always loved Jai. He makes her laugh and treats her like a princess. She's so happy and he treats her so well," the insider said, before continuing: "Jai was her first everything and that is a very hard thing to break off from, especially for Ariana."
In one of the best things to ever happen on television, last night Sally Field faced Julia Roberts in a game of Celebrity Curse-Off on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The words themselves are bleeped-out, but it doesn't hinder the amazingness in any way.
Roberts is squealing and getting embarrassed every few seconds but Field, delivering a particular stunner at around the 1:44 mark that you don't have to be a genius to lip-read, is in her absolute element.
The week has only just begun, but so much has already happened in the world of celebrity. From the Met Gala 2014 in the US last night to Katie Price announcing that she is expecting another baby!
So without further ado, check out today's top showbiz stories.
The Met Gala:

The Met Gala must be one of the highlights in the fashion calendar and this year's white tie and decorations theme certainly didn't disappoint. Earlier we caught up with our fashion reporter Olivia Cox to talk through her top picks and fashion fails...check out what she has to say in the clip above.
EntertainmentWise caught up with Britain's Got Talent act Jack Pack:
Jack Pack got a standing ovation from all three judges in the latest installment of Britain's Got Talent. The boys: Adam, Sean, Alfie and Andrew spoke to us about how nervous they are to perform in front of Simon Cowell, what they made of the reception they got when they auditioned and the moment Alfie met AND sang with Michael Buble!
Katie Price is Pregnant:

A huge congratulations to Katie Price who has announced that she is pregnant with her fifth child - and wait for it - it will be due in a just a few of months. The star is six months in and has only just found out herself. Announcing the news in her column with Now magazine, Katie explained that: "I had some really bad stomach pains and I thought the first thing I'd do when I woke up was a pregnancy test." She added that "I was still in size six to eight trousers and I always balloon when I'm pregnant. I put on four stone with Jett. I was already about six months gone. None of us could actually believe it."
Katie only gave birth to baby Jett nine months ago - so will certainly have her hands full - but we're sure she will be able to take on the challenge!
Simon Cowell's girlfriend Lauren Silverman gave birth to the couple's baby son Eric around 11 weeks ago and it seems like the media mogul is well and truly in love, as he took to his Twitter profile yesterday to gush over the little one, sharing a few snaps of him for his millions of followers to see.
Cowell may have said earlier this year that he didn't plan on changing nappies, but it seems like all of this may have now changed, with him looking like he's taking parenthood completely in his stride.
Taking to Twitter, the X Factor boss posted one super cute pic of Eric on his knee, with another picture alongside the caption: "Very handsome like his dad"
Simon's BFF Sinitta spoke out about the new dad earlier this year, saying that Cowell, who is known to speak his mind on his talent shows, has now turned into a big softy.
"He seems like the Simon I used to know before the super-famous and super-rich Simon he is now," she told OK! magazine.

Since becoming a father for the first time, Simon has barely been seen out of sight with three-week-old Eric, and it's been claimed that the new dad is also planning to have a luxury crèche installed at the X Factor studios so he can bring the tot to work with him.
"He was a big softy and a very affectionate, sweet, family-orientated man. We used to spend weekends with his family in Windsor. The vibe I'm getting now is he's feeling very much like the old Simon," Sinitta, who dated Simon in the 80s, revealed.
"I don't feel like I really lost him to fame and success, but he's started to be seen as a caricature and now Eric's brought a softer side of Simon back."
American Idol star Caleb Johnson issued an apology to his fans this weekend after using an offensive word that appeared to be directed to them when he was talking about song choices for the show.
In an interview with AfterBuzz TV, the talented singer was approached with a question from a fan which was about whether his opinion on social media had changed since appearing on the show.
Answering the question, Caleb who wowed te judges with his performance last week, said:
"It gives access to a bunch of retards to talk to me, and I don't really enjoy having to see somebody telling me what song I need to sing. think at this point in the competition I can pick and choose my own songs and represent me.
"I don't need 10,000 people telling me 'you should sing this, you should sing that, listen to me.' Fortunately, guys, I'm going to listen to myself, whether you like it or not."
Caleb has apologised for any offence that he may have caused (WENN)
Understanding that he may have caused offence, Caleb made sure he apologised and explained himself in a post on his official Facebook page.
He said: "For the record that juvenile comment I made in the interview was not directed towards my fans but to the wackos that send hundreds of hate messages a day to me ! You guys are amazing and I cannot thank you enough for your support. Sorry if it offended anybody it was the wrong choice of words."
Insisting that he has no problem with receiving suggestions for songs, Caleb went on to say: "Also I greatly appreciate it when you guys give me song suggestions but it gets really overwhelming at the volume it comes in so please understand ! Rock on !:)"
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's split was announced almost five months ago, but according to new reports, the KUWTK is still very much a married woman and she has allegedly been blaming this on the basketball player.
Khloe and alleged new beau French Montana spent time in Las Vegas over the weekend to watch the Floyd Mayweather boxing fight, before they were then spotted at a pool party and according to Radar Online, the blonde was overheard saying "how much fun she was having" with the rapper.
"It has been ages since Khloé has been going to clubs and just having fun," the source told Radar. "While Khloé is very happy with French, because he treats her like a queen, she isn't fully able to enjoy it because Lamar still hasn't submitted a response in their divorce proceedings."

The claims go on to say that "Lamar hasn't been returning phone calls and text messages from Khloé regarding the divorce," with the source adding: "He is disappearing for days at a time again, and hanging out with 'shady' people."

The reports come as rumours surrounding Khloe and her alleged new romance French Montana continue, with insiders also telling the publication that Odom has been getting rather jealous.
"Lamar knows the marriage is over, but it just isn't a priority to him, filing the response, and going thru the court proceedings. He just wants to live his life in New York and be left alone. The fact it's p**sing Khloé off that Lamar is holding out, does give him some satisfaction. His ego has taken a huge hit because she is publicly rebounding with French," the source adds.
