A slow process: Call the Midwifes Helen George talks falling in love on set

They were an on-screen couple in BBC favourite Call the Midwife and their romance spilled into real life.

Helen George plays nurse Trixie Franklin while her husband Jack Ashton plays Reverend Tom Hereward.

And now the 34-year-old actor has revealed what it was like to fall for Jack on the set of the medical drama.

The couple got together after Helen's split from husband Oliver Boot in August 2015, growing close while they filmed on location in South Africa.

And in 2017, they welcomed their first child, a little daughter called Wren.

Helen spoke to Stella Magazine, saying, "It was a slow process. All of us on the show are mates. We all hang out together and Jack always really makes me laugh."

About Jack, Helen says, ''He's so unbelievably kind and down to earth, and he's such a great dad."

However when it comes to motherhood, Helen suffers from working mum guilt just like the rest of us.

She says, ''I missed the first crawl, first word and that is so hard.''

She continues, ''But we are now a family. Our priority is our little girl. At the moment when I work, Jack is with her – but over Christmas I am taking a break and just allowing myself a few months to be a full-on mother."

How sweet - we wish them a very Merry Christmas.
