Call The Midwife viewers got a shock on Sunday night when an ex EastEnders star made a surprise appearance in the latest episode of the hit drama.
Two weeks have now passed since the much loved show became one of the big ratings winners on Christmas Day, as millions tuned into its festive special, with them then left delighted by the news that a full series was kicking off a week later.
The new series of Call The Midwife started on New Year's Day and saw the debut of a new nun, Sister Veronica and a tense racism storyline that both appalled viewers and left them full of praise for the show's handling of the sensitive topic. The new series continued on Sunday and while favourites like Trixie and Sheila were at the heart of the action, one person fans definitely weren't expecting to see on screen was actor James Alexandrou, famous for playing Martin Fowler in EastEnders.
