One of the stars of hit TV series Game of Thrones, has joked that Belfast has a 'wonderfully depressing tourist board' due to some of the things the city like to promote.

Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers in the US, Kit Harington who plays character Jon Snow described how Belfast is a lovely place for tourists "for two or three days."

Host Meyers asked Harington to describe what Belfast is like for the tourist, as the HBO show films at several locations across Northern Ireland, to which Harington replied: "It's wonderful for two or three days."

Realising that he might get into trouble for what he was saying, Harington said: "I have to be careful of what I say."

Harington then went on to describe how Belfast celebrate three things, "They've got a wonderful tourist board. They celebrate three things, which is having the most bombed hotel in Europe...they built the Titanic which is a ship that sunk on it's maiden voyage and now they have Game of Thrones which is the most depressing TV show in history."

Game of Thrones Season 5 premieres in the UK on April 13.
