Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show in October 2017, Kit explained how he had got in touch with Game of Thrones producer to let them know filming schedules would have to change for their nuptials.

He said that as they met on the show, production is going to be shut down so everyone can attend the bash.

He 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."
