It seems the family are making the most of the British summer after spending months in lockdown at their home in London. Both Helen and Jack embarked on their relationship in 2016 after filming the Call the Midwife Christmas special in South Africa.

Meanwhile, Helen, who is famed for playing Trixie Franklin in the BBC period drama, previously revealed that she and Jack are in no rush to expand their family. "We are happy as we are," she told Event Magazine. "We are both freelance actors and we have to juggle everything, so at the moment we've no plans to have another baby. Not yet anyway. And we're not married – things are good as they are."
