LONDON -- Apparently, Rose Leslie knows nothing.

During an appearance on Sky News' Sunrise programme on Thursday morning, Leslie -- who is in a relationship with Kit Harington -- was asked how much her former co-star told her about Jon Snow's fairly dramatic season six storyline.

"You had the opportunity to kill Jon Snow but you didn't," said presenter Sarah-Jane Mee after showing a clip of Ygritte and Snow. "He does get killed but then he comes back to life.

"Now in real life you two are a couple, and I heard Kit Harington had to lie to the cast members effectively and say he was dead -- did he lie to you or did you know the secret and keep it really well?"

Leslie didn't hesitate with her response.

No idea, apparently. And when Mee expressed her surprise, Leslie said it again: "I had no idea!"

"I was kind of like, just as surprised as the rest of the world when the man woke back up again," she added.

Which is sort of odd, because Kit Harington definitely said the exact opposite in his interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"I told her from early on," said Harington. "She was allowed to know."

Sounds like these two need to get their stories straight.

Bonus: Can you find Queen Elizabeth in this sea of corgis?
