The Dutch actress who plays the red priestess Melisandre in Game of Thrones has given birth to a baby boy.

Carice van Houten and her partner, Australian actor Guy Pearce have both tweeted about their son's arrival.

While Pearce's tweet was a little out of the ordinary, the couple's comedic approach is typical of the two.
