The countdown is on to season seven of Game of Thrones and while we have re-watched the trailer as many times as possible and speculated over just what may go down, fans have managed to get a few accidental small hints of what lies ahead from a behind-the-scenes video released this week.

It features the show's hugely talented costume designer Michele Clapton talking about her inspiration for the outfits used on the show. The short video is interspersed with behind-the-scenes shots of season seven, which appear to give away some minor plot points.

First off, fans are saying that you can see someone carrying Arya's sword in the shot of the crypts of Winterfell, suggesting she will return home this season, while there is also a scene with Jon Snow on a cliff, proving that he leaves Winterfell and is perhaps visiting Daenerys up at Dragonstone.

There's also shots of The Hound, Jaime Lannister, Sam Tarly, Petyr Baelish, and Tyrion Lannister on a beach.

Yes, not giving away a whole lot, but we'll take what we can get.

Game of Thrones returns to Sky Atlantic on the 17th July.
