If, like us, you are apoplectic about the shocking Game Of Thrones finale, at least we can get our Kit Harington fix elsewhere.

The actor, famous for playing Jon Snow in the HBO series, landed a lead role in film Spooks: The Greater Good, although he has revealed we almost lost him there too.

Harington, 28, “lost consciousness” after being thrown through a wall while filming the spy movie, and was left in agony from the accident.

“I wasn’t meant to go through that wall. That was a mistake. It worked brilliantly on film but it hurt like hell, said the London-born actor.

“That was me. I’ve still got the bump on the head to prove it. If you slow it right down you can see me lose consciousness for a second.”

Producers made the decision to leave it in because they were so pleased with the footage, however it caused panic on set.

Speaking to The Sun, he added: “It was halfway through the film. After the initial panic everyone went: ‘Great shot!’

“But at first it was a bit worrying – you might have killed your lead actor.”
