Kit Harington has admitted he 'blew his load early' when proposing to fellow Game Of Thrones actor Rose Leslie.

The couple, who have been dating since meeting on set in 2012, confirmed they were engaged last month.

The actors, both 30, announced their forthcoming nuptials in a simple notice placed in The Times after Kit popped the question.

However, the Jon Snow actor has told Jonathan Ross that he had planned a lavish proposal but got excited and made his move too early.

Speaking on Friday's The Jonathan Ross Show, he says: "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.

"Sorry that’s a really bad expression,” he laughs.

"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."

Now he is wedding planning, Kit said he had to get in touch with the Game of Thrones producer who manages the filming schedules to tell them they need to change filming for next season.

He claimed that production would have to be shut down so his castmates can come to the wedding.

Kit explained: “I rang him 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."

When Jonathan asked if Kit was considering having a Game of Thrones themed wedding with the costumes, Kit laughed: “No. There is absolutely no chance of me convincing her of that.”

The couple shunned the spotlight, choosing instead to share their happy news in a very traditional way.

Under the names Mr K.C. (Kit Catseby) Harington and Miss R.E. (Rose Eleanor) Leslie, the Times notice read: "The engagement is announced between Kit, younger son of David and Deborah Harington of Worcestershire, and Rose, middle daughter of Sebastian and Candy Leslie of Aberdeenshire."

Kit, who plays Jon Snow in the hit HBO series, started telling friends he'd popped the question to Rose, who played Wildling Ygritte, a week before they announcement.

The pair kept their romance under wraps for four years, only appearing together for the first time last year.

Engagement speculation has been rife since Kit and Rose, both 30, moved in together into a £1.75million mansion in East Anglia in January.

The Sun's Bizarre quoted a source as saying: "They’re yet to set a date, but told friends and family last week that they’ve got engaged.

"Kit’s known for ages he’s wanted to marry Rose but he wanted them to get a house and settle down a bit first."

After remaining tight-lipped about their relationship for so long, Kit finally revealed how "easy" it was to fall in love with stunning redhead Rose .

In the interview with L'Uomo Vogue last year, he recalled his favourite memory of shooting the fantasy epic: "The three weeks in Iceland where we shot the second season... because the country is beautiful, the light of the North magic, and why it was there that I fell in love.

"If you are attracted to a person and in fiction is your love interest, it becomes easy to fall in love..."
