Fans of hit TV show Game of Thrones are being sent into a spin as rumours emerge of more Kit Harington sightings.

The sixth season of the HBO show is being filmed across Northern Ireland at the moment and fans went into meltdown when reports emerged that Harington, who played Jon Snow before his character was supposedly killed off, had been spotted in Belfast.

It came after a picture emerged of land outside Saintfield being turned into a winter wonderland for what is believed to be a key battle scene in the show.

The picture was taken last week by Troy Towsley and filming was taking place off of Old Belfast Road in the Saintfield area. Fans site Watchers on the Wall reported that Harington had been spotted in the area.

Other fans have reported seeing him in Belfast enjoying the nightlife as well.

Harington's character was stabbed and left looking very much dead by his own Night's Watch comrades at the end of the fifth season. But he was spotted in Belfast earlier this year when filming started again.

However, fans were split over whether his presence in Northern Ireland meant he was still alive, or simply filming flashback or funeral scenes.

The new season is being filmed at different locations across Northern Ireland with eagle-eyed fans spotting the pink GOT crew signs all over the country.

Over the summer actress Maisie Williams was snapped filming scenes as her character Arya Stark in Carnlough Harbour in Co Antrim.

But the fate of Jon Snow is a closely guarded secret and despite sighting and reports, the answer is one which fans will have to wait until April to discover.
