Kit Harington really needs to be more careful with his choice of words.
The Game Of Thrones actor made all our nerd dreams come true when he announced his engagement to Rose Leslie, who plays Jon Snow’s lover Ygritte on the HBO blockbuster.
After confirming their engagement via an announcement in The Times – how posh – Kit has discussed their impending nuptials for the first time while on The Jonathan Ross Show.
But the way the 30-year-old described his romantic proposal made it sounds a bit filthier than it actually was.
In a chat set to air tomorrow night on ITV, Kit explained: ‘We did a little announcement in The Times…
‘I did have some plans to do it, I was going to string up some lights in some trees and do all the romantic stuff but we were in the country and we were under this beautiful night sky and had a log fire burning and red wine and I blew my load early.’
Um, excuse us?
Kit corrected himself, telling Jonathan: ‘Sorry, that’s a really bad expression.
‘I was meant to do it the day after with the lights. What I meant to say was, I popped my question a bit early. Not blew my load.’
Thank goodness for that.
Considering Kit and Rose met on the Game Of Thrones set, it makes sense that all of the cast and crew be at their wedding – but that means a bit of a scheduling ‘mare for producers, who are preparing to film the final series of the fantasy epic.
Kit told Jonathan: ‘I rang [the producer] up and I said, “I’m getting married and it’s your fault actually”… I think for the final season he is so stressed that he’s reached that peaceful level.
‘I was like, “You need to factor in a Game Of Thrones wedding by the way.” They [the cast] have all got to be there so the whole thing has got to shut down.’
But don’t expect Kit and Rose, 30, to be in their GOT costumes when they exchange their I Do’s.
The actor said there is ‘is absolutely no chance of me convincing her of that’.
Boo.
Kit, Liv Tyler, Sue Perkins, Rob Beckett, Mary J Blige and Dua Lipa join The Jonathan Ross Show on Saturday night at 9.45pm on ITV.
