The Prive-Swiss Wellness Retreat costs $120,000 (£94,200) for a month-long stay and offers psychological coaching, cognitive behavioral therapy and meditation.

Kit has spokenly openly about his personal battles in recent months and admitted that he struggled when the shows focus shifted heavily to his character, Jon Snow, in season six.

Speaking to Variety, Kit said: My darkest period was when the show seemed to become so much about Jon, when he died and came back. I really didnt like the focus of the whole show coming onto Jon — even though it was invalidating my problem about being the weak link because things were about Jon..
