Unfortunately, one of our favourite characters won’t be returning for series eight. Victoria Yeates confirmed that she has decided to quit the show to pursue other roles.
The actress is best-known for playing the chirpy Sister Winifred on the BBC drama series.
Victoria made her final appearance in the Call The Midwife Christmas special.
We’re sure the upcoming series will be as wonderful as ever, despite her absence.
Call The Midwife airs on BBC One on Sunday, January 13.
