Call The Midwife 'forced to halt filming' after real-life medical incident

Hit BBC show Call The Midwife was reportedly forced to stop filming after a baby fell seriously ill while on set.

Filming of the medical period drama from 1950s and 1960s Britain was halted at Longcross Film Studios in Surrey after three ambulances were seen on site following a "medical incident". The toddler was taken to hospital but has reportedly been discharged and is recovering at home.

A resident who lives close to the filming location told The Sun : "I saw three ambulances whizz past. I was shocked. It looked like something you’d see on a TV show but it was obviously a real incident being taken incredibly seriously."
