Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has revealed that he ruined his own romantic proposal plans as he couldn't wait another day to ask Rose Leslie to marry him.

The couple, who met on the set of Game of Thrones, where they played love interests before beginning an off-screen relationship, announced their engagement in late September through a post in The Times newspaper.

Speaking about the proposal itself, Harington revealed that he had planned on orchestrating a romantic moment, but ended up popping the question a day early.

"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," he told The Jonathan Ross Show.

"I was meant to do it the day after, with the lights [but] I popped my question a bit early."

Harington, who plays Jon Snow in the series, said he hopes all of his co-stars will be able to make it to their big day, if they can clear a day or two in the production schedule.

"I rang them up [the producers] and I said, 'I'm getting married and it's your fault actually'. 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," he added.

Production is currently underway on the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones. A release date has yet to be announced.
