Jon Snow's (played by Kit Harington) direwolf, Ghost, has not been seen since season six, when he stayed by his master's side after temporarily dying. 

Fans of the HBO show were positively furious when the canine didn't make an appearance throughout the seventh series. 

However, they could be in luck as one plucky Game of Thrones fan has taken it upon themselves to ensure there are no excuses. 

A GoFundMe page has been created, called "Bring back Ghost", and aims to raise £500,000 for the wolf. 

The creator explained on the website: "Raising money for CGI so that Ghost features in season eight of GOT. 

"Please help Jone reunite with his beloved direwolf. Also, no one tell Jon, he knows nothing.

"Want it to be a surprise he'll never forget," they joked. 

However, with a reported budget of around $15million per episode, it seems that HBO shouldn't have a problem shelling out money for the special effect.

This comes as Game of Thrones was snubbed at the Golden Globes 2018 nominations. 

The hit show only gained one nod despite being labelled by some as the biggest show in the world. 

Big Little Lies is on track to be the biggest winner next year, as it bagged five nominations. 

Game of Thrones is expected to return in 2019.
