Call The Midwife's Helen George missed out on major film role before finding fame in BBC drama

Helen George has dropped a career bombshell with the news that she missed out on a major movie role, before finding fame on Call The Midwife.

Helen is one of the most recognisable faces on British TV, thanks to her on-screen alias Trixie Franklin being at the heart of the action in Nonatus House and establishing herself as a real favourite with Call The Midwife fans.

After some time away from the hit BBC drama, Helen made an eventful return in the Christmas special, as Trixie arrived back in Poplar to be proposed to by Matthew. And then, in the most recent episode of Call The Midwife's new series, which aired at the weekend, Trixie and Matthew were separated as she was locked down in the maternity ward following an e-coli outbreak.
