Although he did not go into specifics, he did admit that he fell in love with Rose on set in Iceland.

He told the magazine that the period was his 'best memory'. Kit said: 'The three weeks in Iceland when we were shooting the second season. 

'Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love.

'If you're already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it becomes very easy to fall in love.'

Rose, who is currently appearing in The Good Wife spin off The Good Fight, added in a recent interview with This Morning that it was sometimes tricky for the couple to find time to spend together.

She admitted their busy schedules keep them apart, with Kit still away for much of the year shooting the show.

'It's kind of an embarrassment of riches whereby both of us are working, it's wonderful to be busy but we make it work.'

'Facetime is a must,' she said of how the two actors stay in touch.
