Kit Harrington leaves emotional fan overwhelmed in London

He is set to wed his girlfriend of five years Rose Leslie after popping the question over a candle-lit dinner. 

And Kit Harington looked in good spirits as he stopped for a chat with an overwhelmed blond in London on Thursday. 

The British GoT actor, 30, was seen having an in depth conversation with the fan, before swapping a selfie for a cigarette with another bystander. 

 

Turning heads: Kit Harington looked in good spirits as he stopped for a chat with an overwhelmed blond in London on Thursday

Kit, who is famed for playing the much-loved Jon Snow on the hit HBO series GOT,  certainly stood out on the dreary autumnal day, his muscular physique visible underneath the white sweater. 

Teaming it with a pair of turned up jeans and smart loafer, the hunk was immediately recognisable by his rugged beard and man bun. 

And it’ s no wonder he caught a blonde bypasser’s eye, who excitedly stopped the film star. 

Dressed in a casual grey trench, jeans and leopard print pumps she appeared tearful as she clutched her face in surprise, before Kit leaned in for a hug.

And ever the dutiful star, Kit- carrying a container of soup, appeared to stop for an in-depth conversation with the excited fan. 

But no sooner had he bid his farewells, he ran into another adoring bystander, and took the opportunity to nab a cigarette from him. 

And making a rather savvy deal, the chap got a good bargain, bagging a selfie with the star in return. 

MailOnline has contacted Kit’s representative for comment.

His appearance after it was recently confirmed he is engaged to his co-star girlfriend of five years Rose, also 30, who had starred as Ygritte from 2012 to 2014 on Game of Thrones.

The couple opted for a traditional method to announce they are betrothed, following in the footsteps of the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter by making an announcement in The Times newspaper.

The note was placed in the forthcoming marriages section in the daily paper and 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 and Rose, who met whilst filming Game Of Thrones and began dating in 2012, have not yet to set a date for the big day and the announcement comes after the duo reportedly told their friend and family of their exciting news.

‘They’re yet to set a date, but told friends and family last week that they’ve got engaged,’ a source told The Sun. ‘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.’

The insider claimed Kit felt marriage was the natural next step for him and Rose, also 30, after they moved into a £1.75million mansion in East Anglia.

‘After moving in together in January he felt it was the right time to take the next step,’ they said.

They had initially shut down speculation they were set to wed in July after Life & Style claimed the pair were ‘planning their nuptials’. The U.S. tabloid alleged that Kit had popped the question over a romantic dinner, leaving his long-time girlfriend in tears.

‘Kit recently cooked Rose a romantic candlelight dinner and proposed to her. She burst into tears and immediately said yes!’ an unnamed source claimed.

However, the stars’ reps denied that the pair were set to tie the knot at the time.

Kit, meanwhile, was caught gushing over his other half in June as he told chat show host James Corden: ‘I’ve moved in with my other best friend Rose, so I’m very happy.

‘It’s going well, so she’s got all sorts of ideas for the house. I said to her, cause she’s moved into my house, “Look darling, it’s important that this is our space.

‘That it feels like our space, that you haven’t just moved into mine. Move anything you want around, change anything, chuck anything out.”‘

At the season seven premiere for Game Of Thrones in Los Angeles, he had spoken of his relationship with his former co-star and gushed it is ‘such a special thing’.

‘I think that’s the really special thing about it is that we met on this show and here we are seven years down the line back here promoting season seven,’ he said on the red carpet. ‘I mean it’s mad. It’s such a special thing. I’m so privileged.’
