Helen George Dating Her Call The Midwife Co-Star?

Helen George may have found love with one of her ‘Call The Midwife’ co-stars, if new reports are to be believed.

The actress, who split from husband Oliver Boot before her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing last year, has apparently grown close to actor Jack Ashton, who plays Reverend Tom Hereward.

The two shared an on-screen relationship, with Jack’s character Reverend Tom dating and getting engaged to Helen’s character Trixie Franklin, before later splitting.

According to new reports, the pair have now struck up an off-screen romance while filming in South Africa.

Sources claim they’ve enjoyed dates and booked into the exclusive safari lodge ‘Moditlo Lodge’ under pseudonyms, with staff at the wildlife reserve claiming they looked ‘very much in love’.

A manager at the resort, where the couple shared a luxury suite, told The Mirror: “They were here together and seemed very close. They spent quite a lot of time by the pool just chilling, doing nothing and being together.”

Helen and Jack also reportedly made a visit to an animal rehabilitation centre, with the manager saying: “She is very involved in caring about game and wildlife and does a lot of work in secret helping animals.

“They really wanted to see where the animals are rehabilitated and they saw what we do to help animals that need rehabilitation. She cares about conservation and they told me how much they enjoyed it.”

A rep for Helen George told the HuffPost UK that they ‘do not comment on their client’s personal lives’.
