Helen George is back on our screens this Christmas as nurse Trixie Franklin in the Call The Midwife Christmas special.
Behind the scenes, the 40-year-old actress leads a quiet family life with her two young daughters Wren Ivy, six, and Lark, three, whom she shares with her ex-partner Jack Ashton, who played vicar Tom Hereward on the BBC drama for four years.
The pair fell for one another on the set of the BBC drama in 2014 but sadly called it quits in 2023. Confirming the news of their separation, the thespian pair revealed they were committing to co-parenting their two "beautiful" daughters. "Some months ago, we separated. Our two beautiful girls remain the focus and I respectfully ask for privacy for this next chapter," their official statement read.
