What else has Helen George been in?
Helen George has been a successful actress for years, having starred on Hollyoak, Hotel Babylon, Doctors and The Three Musketeers.
TV lovers will also recognise her for starring on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2015, where she was partnered with professional dancer Aljaž Škorjane and finished in sixth place.
Is Helen George married?
Helen George is not currently married.
She tied the knot with fellow actor Oliver Boot from 2011-2015.
The Call the Midwife star is now in a relationship with her former co-star, Jack Ashton, who played Tom Hereward.
They started dating in 2016 and a year later they welcomed a daughter, Wren Ivy.
While speaking to the Radio Times, she explained: “I haven’t spoken about this before… but I chose to have a C-section [caesarean].
“It coincided with the fact that I had to deliver her early, but even without that, I would have gone for an elective caesarean because of what I’d learnt on Call the Midwife.”
Helen added: “Working on Call the Midwife means that lots of people tell you their horror stories about birth. I’m not against natural birth, I’m pro whatever you feel is right for you.”
