In a romance that could have been taken from the show's script, Call The Midwife actor Stephen McGann has revealed how he fell 'madly in love' with the creator Heidi Thomas after a chance meeting over 30 years ago.
Former Emmerdale star Stephen was right at the thick of the action as the latest series of the hit BBC drama hurtled to a dramatic conclusion quite literally last weekend, when a train carrying his character Doctor Turner and Sister Julienne, played by Jenny Agutter, was involved in a horrifying crash.
Its driver suffered a medical emergency at the wheel, leading to the train speeding out of control and colliding another service.
