Kit Harington has spoken about the moment Jon Snow finds out the truth about Daenerys Targaryen in the final season of Game Of Thrones.

Viewers already know the truth about Jon’s parents and the fact he’s actually a Targaryen, so it was pretty awkward for them to watch Jon and Daenerys become lovers in season seven.

In the final season Jon and Daenerys are going to be hit with the bombshell that she is his aunt – meaning Jon is next in line to the Iron Throne before her – which star Kit Harington says will complicate things (that’s putting it mildly).

‘Jon is someone who plays by the book. He cannot lie,’ he told TV Insider.

‘Finding out about Dany would be very hard for him.’

Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys, added that her character’s feelings for Jon will make the revelation all the more devastating.

She said: ‘Daenerys’ life long dream has been to avenge her family and claim her rightful seat on the Iron Throne.

‘She truly loves Jon. Were she to find out about his title, it would cut deep.’

Their romance might be short lived though, as recent research showed that Daenerys is least likely to survive to the end of the season as she has never ‘switched allegiances’.

According to those brainboxes at IFLScience, ‘sticking true to your convictions is a surefire way to get nixed’, which sounds like Dany to a T.

On the other hand Cersei Lannister is more likely to stay put on the Iron Throne as highborn ‘strong females’ who have no problem switching sides are #more likely to make it than their male counterparts’.

Game Of Thrones returns to HBO and Sky Atlantic later this year.
