Game Of Thrones star Headey said: “Choose Love has always been a symbol of love and compassion.

“I’m wearing this T-shirt to show my appreciation for care workers and NHS staff, you can do the same, it’ll make a big difference to those who continue to work so hard in dangerous, emotionally challenging situations.

“Buy your T-shirt. Love Has No Borders ”

O’Leary added: “Like most people I’m in awe of the frontline workers whose courage and dedication is holding the UK together.
