KIT Harington had clearly come down off the high of getting engaged as he took the bins out at his London home today.

After The Sun's Bizarre column first revealed The Games of Thrones actor had popped the question to girlfriend Rose Leslie, the couple confirmed the news via an announcement in The Times newspaper today.

But after no doubt enjoying their happy news in private first before making it public knowledge, it was back to reality for the hunky actor as he ran some errands.

Dressed casually in black jeans, a grey jumper and tan boots, the 30-year-old wore a flat cap and glasses to try and blend in with the crowd as he put some rubbish out before heading to the shops.

Kit puffed away on a cigarette as he placed the white carrier bag in the bin, before being pictured returning home with some lunch and a takeaway coffee in his hand.

Kit's new fiancee Rose - who he met on the set of the hit HBO drama - was nowhere to be seen as her future husband carried out his to-do list for the day.

The couple met on the set of the hit show when they played onscreen lovers, but they are now getting married in real life.

Rose played Ygritte from seasons two to four and Kit still plays her character’s former lover Jon Snow.

However the couple kept their love quiet for four years, officially stepping out together for the first time last year.

After keeping tight-lipped for so long, Kit hasn’t held back on declaring his love for Rose, who previously appeared in Downton Abbey as maid Gwen.
