Actor Kit Harington has now apologised for “lying” to fans over the future of his Game of Thrones character.
In a short video the actor said sorry to viewers after the latest episode of the hit TV show showed his character Jon Snow being brought back to life.
He told Entertainment Weekly: “I’d like to say sorry for lying to everyone.

“I’m glad that people were upset that he died. I think my biggest fear was that people were going to be… were not going to care or just be ‘Fine, Jon Snow is dead’, but it seems like people did have a… similar to the red wedding episode… a kind of grief about it.”
The new series of the show, based on George RR Martin’s books, made its highly-anticipated return last week.
Fans were left debating Kit’s future on the show after Jon Snow’s dead body was featured in the first episode, disappointing many who thought he would return then.
