Call The Midwife's Helen George defended by fans after image 'overhaul' for new role away from show

Helen George has received the firm backing of Call The Midwife fans after showing off her drastically different new look on Instagram.

Helen has played a pivotal role in the much loved BBC drama for years now, with her character Trixie Franklin returning to Poplar for last year's Christmas special and then proposed to by other half Matthew. Trixie then had an eventful time of things in series 12, which came to an end in February, when she desperately tried and failed to save Matthew's dad's life, after he collapsed in the couple's bathroom.

Trixie was then involved in a hard-hitting teenage pregnancy storyline, before tragedy struck on her and Matthew's wedding day, when an expectant mother was killed after a car crash, with Dr Turner rushing to deliver the unborn child. Call The Midwife is going to return for at least another two series, with series 13 set to be preceded by another festival episode in December.
