"We're filming series 11 at the moment," confirmed Helen. "So I'm back. And I obviously won't say if any other characters are back, but possibly they are…"

Asked about her character's love life, the actress replied: "People always say, 'When is she going to find someone?' But I like the medical storylines and the confidence she's finding in herself. If love comes along as well, fantastic.

When quizzed about Call the Midwife's success, Helen recently told Radio Times: "There's nothing else like it. It's in its own little bubble." She added: "Does it get the accolade of other shows? No, it doesn't. But that's OK. It's a quiet hero."
