Game of Thrones actresses Natalie Dormer and Lena Headey have taken part in a striking global campaign to end violence against girls.
The stars can be seen with messages such as "since that day I'm no longer myself", "family honour" and "bear the scars" painted across their faces in support of Plan. The words were painted by award-winning artist and avid Plan supporter Marion Deuchars, and the images were captured by photographer John Davis.
Children's charity Plan UK has launched the 'Because I'm a Girl' campaign, aimed at speaking up for girls' rights globally in impoverished communities and ending female genital mutilation and child marriage in a generation.
Headey, who stars as Cersei Lannister in the hit HBO fantasy show, said: "It fills me with hope that someday soon, girls can grow up in a world that is free from these harmful practices.

We're not going to lie - when we found out that Zoe Birkett was entering the Big Brother house earlier this week, the Digital Spy office got very excited indeed. What a blast from the past - and how much the "little podgy kid from Pop Idol with the dreadlocks" (her words, not ours) has grown up in the last 13 years. But it got us thinking - what happened to the other contestants? We put on our deerstalker, pulled out our magnifying glass and started digging...

Beverley Knight has announced that her run in the West End production of The Bodyguard has been extended.
Knight said that she will continue in the musical through May 31, 2014.
"It's hard bloody work, but it's so much fun at the same time with this company. I'm singing and dancing every single night and I'm learning," she told the Daily Mail of starring in The Bodyguard.
The actress went on to say: "I've always gone on stage to sing as Beverley Knight, but I've had to learn how to play someone else."
Knight has the leading role in The Bodyguard as pop diva Rachel Marron, a role played by Whitney Houston in the original 1992 film.
She told Digital Spy in October that she does not regard her portrayal of Rachel Marron as a tribute to Houston.

Happy 10th anniversary to The X Factor!
We've already compiled a few of our favourite X Factor moments over the past decade, so now we're going to celebrate with a quiz to see if you can name the following 10 ex-finalists.
Do you recognise any of these former hopeful faces? Have a go below:
1. Series 5 - guess the X Factor finalist
Can you remember this slightly cheesy (and extremely hair conscious) performer mentored by Simon Cowell back on The X Factor back in 2008?
Following his X Factor departure, he's performed at Butlin's Holiday Park in Skegness, turned on the Stevenage town Christmas lights and appeared in Attitude magazine's naked edition.
2. Series 8 - guess the X Factor finalist
No-one could remember this act's name while she was on the show, so we doubt it'll spring to mind two years on. That's a shame, because this former barmaid from London had a really...

You know the story. One spoiled diva. A top-notch no-nonsense bodyguard. A wee kiddie at risk. A letter-writing psycho and jealous sister in the wings. The late Whitney Houston is as well-remembered for classic 1992 movie The Bodyguard and that Dolly Parton cover as she is for her string of chart toppers.
Opening last year, Alexander Dinelaris's adaptation has gone method in hiring a singer, rather than actress, in the lead role in this new cast. Whatever reservations you might have about her acting, you know you've got a safe set of vocal cords with Beverley Knight. Predictably, it's the singing that keeps The Bodyguard afloat whenever you might waver.
