Emilia Clarke hates fans giving her love advice.

Asked about dating in the public eye, she said: "Well, a con is you have strangers giving you love-life advice like, 'I'm a big fan of the show, and I'm not sure what you're doing with that guy', which I didn't react well to.

"That happened in New York when Seth and I were together. This guy started to give me advice: 'Can I get a selfie? And by the way...' Unh-unh, bro."

And fan encounters can also be embarrassing for the 29-year-old star because she is very aware of how much of her they have seen in her role as Daenerys Targaryen, aka Khaleesi and Mother of Dragons.

She told America's Glamour magazine: "This gorgeous girl once said to me, 'Watching Khaleesi makes me feel like I can be a strong woman.' I remember being like, 'That's proper.' That is a wonderful thing.

"Then there are times with certain dudes where I'm like, 'You've seen my t*ts. OK, sure, you can have a selfie.' Awkward!"

Emilia is currently single and thinks that's a "good thing".

Asked if she is dating anyone, she said: "No. I'm just chilling. I've got a good thing going."
