One person who will no doubt be extra pleased to hear of the engagement is none other than Nicole Kidman, who famously pressured Harington into popping the question when they appeared on The Late Late Show earlier this year.

“Are you going to get married or…?” Kidman asked after Harington discussed moving in with Leslie. The Jon Snow actor didn’t answer, instead joking that he was being put on the spot by Kidman.

He added, “Step by step, step by step.”

But Kidman wouldn’t let him off the hook: “I’m just all about getting engaged and then living together,” she said.

Watch the awkward (albeit hilarious) encounter above.
