Game Of Thrones actress Rose Leslie has said she and husband Kit Harington do not feel famous "at all".

The 38-year-old Scottish actress played Ygritte in the fantasy HBO series, with Harington as her primary love interest, Jon Snow.

"I don’t mean to be insincere at all, but I don’t think we are in the spotlight," she told Tatler magazine.

"It’s not something that we independently or together chase. We are fortunate whereby if there are projects we do that galvanise attention then that’s amazing – but I don’t think we feel famous at all."

Leslie and Harrington, who live in Suffolk, married in 2018 and have two children. The actress said Suffolk "is really our base now."

The couple married at Rayne Church in Kirkton of Rayne in Aberdeenshire and held their reception at Leslie’s 12th century family castle.

Guests at the wedding included Game Of Thrones stars Peter Dinklage, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Emilia Clarke.

"God, I felt so elated that day," Leslie said.

"It was the culmination of being married to the love of my life, in the home that I was incredibly happy in, bringing all my friends to Scotland – and the joy of that day was just fantastic."

Leslie, who is also known for her roles in Death On The Nile and Downton Abbey, will star in an adaptation of William Somerset Maugham’s play The Constant Wife at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon from June.
