Helen George delighted fans with a gorgeous behind-the-scenes snapshot on Monday – and the star looked utterly sublime.

Trading her Nurse Trixie costume for a touch of black-tie glamour, the 38-year-old actress dazzled in a voluminous peach silk gown fit for a princess. Helen looked lovely in her jaw-dropping frock which featured a waist-cinching corset and a ball-gown style skirt.

The actress will be returning to the stage in February

Helen's princess moment comes after the TV star spoke to The One Show's Alex Jones about her upcoming role. Gushing about her experience, she told the presenter: "I've been really lucky with it, it's such a classic musical as well and a role I never thought I'd have the opportunity to play.

"The dress weighs 40 pounds, it is huge. I am starting to rehearse in the petticoat, but no one can get close to me because it comes out so far."

And in an interview with WhatsOnStage, Helen said: "Theatre is my first love, and I am so excited to be returning to the stage for this beautiful, majestic production of The King and I.

"Anna is such a strong, passionate and determined character, and I'm going to relish bringing her to life every night, as well as giving audiences all over the UK the chance to see this peerless Broadway and West End musical right on their doorstep."
