Kit Harrington revealed he was moved to tears during a read-through for the final episode of Game of Thrones.

The 30-year-old actor, who plays Jon Snow in the popular HBO fantasy series, told The One Show there was a cast read-through of the final episode last week. 

"I know everything now," he said. "I cried at the end! It wasn't anything particular that happens. You have to remember, I've done eight years of it. I think no one really cares about it more than us.

"I get a bit weepy thinking about it. It's going to be a strange year saying goodbye to everyone and having last scenes with this person and that person. Not only you're attached to it, loads of people around the world are attached to it."

The actor also let slip that he plans to cut his distinctive long hair short as soon as filming ends, to try and remain a little more anonymous on the streets.  

The much-anticipated eighth series of the George RR Martin adaptation will have only six episodes, down from seven or 10 in previous years. It is also set to be the most expensive yet, with a reported budget of US$15 million per episode.

Filming for the final season is set to begin this month.
