Sophie Turner has blamed Kit Harington for the infamous coffee cup appearance on Game of Thrones.
As the Stark and Targaryen armies celebrated defeating the Night King during the opening moments of the episode ”The Last of the Starks”, a coffee cup was seen on Jon Snow (Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) table.
The gaffe quickly made headlines around the world, with many people wondering how no one working on the multi-million costing show caught the mistake.
Speaking to Conan O’Brien, Turner – who played Sansa Stark on the show – knew exactly who to blame.
“I hear this every day of my life, this coffee cup thing, so it’s good to know that the coffee cup got more press than the final season altogether,” she joked.
“The coffee cup was where Kit [Harington’s] chair was. First I blamed it on Emilia [Clarke], but I don’t think Emilia would do that.
“Kit is lazy and I think he would have done that. It was in front of Kit’s chair and then obviously he moved and this picture was taken and it looked like it was in my seat, but I wasn’t there.
"It was Kit. It was 100 per cent Kit.”
After the episode aired, the producers edited out the coffee cup, so that people who later streamed the episode would not see the latte in Westeros.
