In May Harington revealed they had moved in together and were “very, very happy”, but gave no more detail about the relationship.

Scottish actress Leslie rose to fame as housemaid Gwen Dawson in Downton Abbey and played the wildling Ygritte in GoT between 2012 and 2014.

Londoner Harington has earned legions of fans as noble Jon Snow in the hit HBO series.
