The April Fools’ prank Kit Harington played on Rose Leslie was brutally cruel (but still kinda funny)

Revenge is going to be sweet.

Kit Harington

“She pretty much told me if I did it ever again that would be it and I think that’s marriage included.”

You may have heard the news recently that Kit Harington and Rose Leslie got engaged, with their relationship in real-life blossoming as it once did for Jon Snow and Ygritte in Game of Thrones.

The way Kit told it on the Jonathan Ross show over the weekend, he might not even have a wedding to go to if he repeats the type of prank that scared the living daylights out of Rose on April Fools’ Day earlier this year.

Harington explained to Ross that his family does April Fools’ and that Leslie’s family most certainly doesn’t, all while the audience viewed footage of a prank so cruel that it moved Leslie to tears.

Rather than spoil it for you, we’ll let you see it for yourself below…

To be fair to Rose, anyone would react with horror to the sight of a mask with the face of a fairly-battered looking Jon Snow on it, let alone somebody who’s about to marry that person in the near future.

Great work on saving the Brita filter, mind.
