Sophie Turner downed shots and necked £6.50 cocktails in UK bar days before divorce
Sophie Turner enjoyed a boozy night out with some pals in the UK just days before she and husband Joe Jonas announced that they were divorcing.
The 27-year-old Game of Thrones star and 34-year-old Jonas have called time on their relationship after four years of marriage and two children together.
Jonas filed the divorce papers at the Miami Dade County Court on Tuesday (5 September), with NBC News reporting that the 'Sucker' singer said their marriage is 'irretrievably broken'.

He also added that the pair 'have shared parental responsibility' over their children as well as a prenuptial agreement.
In a joint statement shared to both of their social media accounts, the former couple said: "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage.
"There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children."
Just a few days prior to the news they were splitting, Northampton-born Turner was seen out enjoying herself at Birmingham’s Dropshot Digbeth, after filming for her upcoming ITV series, Joan, in the city.
In posts on social media, Turner could be seen enjoying some cheap as chips cocktails, which were just a little over six quid a pop, and getting involved in retro gaming activities at the buzzing spot including a pretty impressive thwack on a boxing machine.
Dropshot bar manager Hezron Stephenson told PEOPLE the group were out for the ‘wrap party’ after filming for Joan wound up.
Stephenson told the publication that ‘she seemed very happy’ and ‘like she was in high spirits’.
Turner has previously opened up about her anxiety issues and preferring to stay at home, while her husband likes to go out on the town.
During an interview with Conan O'Brien during the Covid-19 pandemic, Turner spoke about life during lockdown, claiming she enjoyed it.
She told the host: "I'm an introvert. I'm a homebody. If I could stay at home all day I would."
Jonas, however, is apparently the complete opposite.
"Everything seems to be working out in my favour here because Joe's a real social butterfly, so I struggle to lock him down and have him just spend time with me.
"It's like prison for him, but it's great for me."
Last November, Jonas opened up about his relationship during an interview with Mr. Porter.
"I want to feel like an open book," he told the publication.
"But when we started dating, I realised that I didn't have a ton of stuff that was just for me. And in the end, it makes me a better person to have something for myself."
