"Though, obviously, my partner Helen George is still fully involved."

In the latest series, fans finally saw his partner's character, Trixie Franklin, walk down the aisle. Of his reaction to Helen's on-screen happiness, Jack added: "I'm pleased Trixie tied the knot last series. Trixie's far too beautiful not to have a husband!"

Musing on their hectic filming schedules, Jack revealed: "When Helen and I work at the same time, it can be troublesome. As Call the Midwife has started filming again, I'll be doing lots of childcare. I'm looking forward to my eldest's summer term of sports days and swimming galas!"

The couple are doting parents to two adorable daughters: Five-year-old Wren Ivy and one-year-old baby girl, Lark.
