Avoiding "Game of Thrones" spoilers can be tricky.
Actress Rose Leslie even has to take extreme measures to make sure her fiancé Kit Harington won't ruin the HBO show.
"I for sure ask Kit not to show me his excitement after he has read an episode, simply because I don't want to read anything in his eyes," Leslie told Entertainment Weekly.
Leslie and Harington met while starring on "Game of Thrones," playing the doomed lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte. The real-life couple went public with their relationship for the first time in 2016. They announced their engagement in September 2017.
"I know the anticipation is killing a lot of people, and my God the build-up is fantastic," the actress said of the highly-anticipated eighth and final season of the hit show.
"Game of Thrones" is set to return in 2019.
"I can't wait until next year. So when he's at the other end of the room and reading the episode, it's like, no … we are not going to have eye contact for a long time. Go make a cup of tea. Calm down."
