Following the BBC's decision to pause Call the Midwife, actress Helen George has already moved on to her next project. The 42-year-old has announced a new weekly podcast titled Mystic Mates, co-hosted by her close friend and fellow actor, Yvette Robinson.
The news comes amid reports that Helen has separated from her boyfriend, Dan Innes, only months after they began living together.

Mystic Mates, which launches on 13 July, is billed as a "space for funny, honest and deeply personal conversations," where Helen and Yvette will explore everything from "relationships, motherhood and grief to intuition and spirituality".
The description reads: "Fascination with the mystic has never been more mainstream. As Helen puts it, "mention tarot and everyone suddenly has a story." Whether people believe or not, they're curious. They want to share their own experiences, hear someone else's and linger on the unexplainable.
"Whether you're a lifelong believer, simply curious or somewhere in between, Mystic Mates is a welcoming space that doesn't take itself too seriously."
Sharing the news on Instagram, Helen wrote on her Instagram Stories: "Beyond excited to finally share our new project with you. It's been a long time coming."
Mystic Mates is available from 13 July, with new episodes every Monday on Spotify and all major podcast platforms.
Helen's reported split from Dan Innes
Last week, The Sun reported that Helen had split from her boyfriend Dan Innes.
According to reports, Dan was seen moving his items out of Helen's London home, which she shares with her two children, Wren Ivy and Lark.

The full quote in the now-expired Instagram Story read: "I absolutely take responsibility for when I am wrong. But I will never apologise for responding to disrespect.
"If you lit the match, do not stand in the flames pretending to be the victim."
Helen and Dan's romance
Helen first went public with her relationship with real estate consultant Dan last year, 'soft launching' their romance on social media on Valentine's Day.

Helen was previously married to Oliver Boot before falling for her Call the Midwife co-star Jack Ashton following her 2015 divorce. Jack and Helen share two young daughters, Wren and Lark.
