It was the pairing that everyone wanted that shouldn’t have really happened as Jon (played by Kit) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) stripped off for a passionate sex scene in the gripping episode, The Dragon and the Wolf.
Although the Mother of Dragons has insisted that she can’t bear any more children after sacrificing her baby to save Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa), fans convinced themselves that if one man could impregnate her, it’s the King in the North.
However, now that viewers know Jon is really a Targaryen, a baby of incest is potentially the last thing aunt and nephew want.
Whilst enjoying a day at the Formula 1 in Italy, one plucky fan asked Kit if his character Jon would become a father in season eight.
Although a seasoned professional at keeping spoilers under wraps, the 30-year-old slipped out a cheeky smile, convincing fans the Northern hero will be a dad.
This follows a recent leaked photo that suggests the Dothraki could be in line for a major role in the final season.
While it is unknown whether the picture – shared by Spanish website Los Siete Reinos – is recent, it has definitely prompted speculation among eager fans.
Is the appearance of the set linked to a flashback as the show goes some way to explain her potential infertility?
Or is the Dothraki hut a sign that Daenerys is going to war against the army of the dead?
Game of Thrones will return for its eighth and final season.
