CALL The Midwife’s Helen George has shared an insight to her new romance with a loved-up date night with her new beau.
The actress, who is beloved for playing Trixie Franklin on the BBC favourite, spent the weekend being wined-and-dined by her new love.

Sharing pictures on Instagram, the couple enjoyed a meal at The Waterman Arms in Barnes, with Helen beaming with a bottle of wine in her hand.
She later wrote: “The most delicious Valentine’s over-ordering. Hearts and stomach’s full @daninnes @thewatermans.arms”.
This is the star’s first time noting her new romance, with Dan being a real estate developer who declares himself a “future thinker and global voyeur” on his Instagram page.
He adds he’s “architecturally inquisitive, marine + mountainous, health + moderation, national + Atlantic oarsman [and] possible viking.”
On his personal page, he shared the picture of Helen with the wine and joked: “’Can I get this to go please? #yesyesyes”.
The star’s new romance comes after Helen joined celebrity dating app Raya last year, shortly after “drifting apart” from her Call The Midwife co-star, Olly Rix.
Olly played Helen’s on-screen husband, Matthew, on the wholesome BBC favourite, and the pair reportedly grew close after their respective off-screen break ups.
Helen called time on her seven-year relationship with Jack Ashton in July 2023, with the couple having two children together.
Jack, who also starred on Call The Midwife as Reverand Thomas, had dated Helen from 2016, following filming of the Christmas special in South Africa.
They welcomed their two daughters, Wren and Lark, in 2017 and 2021 respectively.
Confirming the news of their split online at the time, Helen wrote: “Some months ago, we separated.
“Our two beautiful girls remain the focus and I respectfully ask for privacy for this next chapter.”
Around the same time, Olly split from girlfriend Natasha Fagri, and as they navigated single life together, rumours sparked that they were dating.
Neither confirmed the speculation, but by June 2024, the pair had unfollowed each other on social media, with pictures together also being deleted.
Helen did later refollow Olly, and then joined Raya in September 2024, listing her interests as ‘meditation, travel, dogs, hotels, restaurants, theatre and antiques’.
Her Instagram post is the first notable romance since her split from Jack Ashton.
