Kit Harington and Rose Leslie confirmed their off-screen romance on the red carpet at the Olivier Awards.

The pair were seen laughing together and even shared a kiss.

The couple played on-screen couple Jon Snow and Ygritte in the third season of Game Of Thrones but have been dating on and off in real life too. It's thought they began dating in 2012 before splitting up a year later. In 2014 they were rumoured to have been acting like a couple and were spotted holding hands.

In January of this year they were spotted holding hands again in Los Angeles but they are yet to speak publicly about their romance.

However Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen in the fantasy show, confirmed their relationship earlier this year.

She told Entertainment Tonight:

"You know, we like to spread the love on our show. It's a beautiful thing. She's one of my best friends, so it's good."

"I mean, there are worse things than being caught kissing Jon Snow!"

Kit's character was killed in the season five finale though he says a lot of fans don't believe he's really dead.

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, the actor confessed that he was even asked by the Duchess of Cornwall if Jon Snow was really dead.

Despite being spotted filming in Belfast, the star confirmed that his character had been killed off but he had been playing a corpse for the new season of the show.

Series six hits Sky Atlantic on Monday 25th April.
