An onlooker told it The sun on Sunday how Olly ‘looked relaxed’ and when Helen left the premises she looked a ‘a bit sloppy’.

The sightings have fueled speculation about a budding bond between the two co-stars who share a close bond, despite Olly’s character reportedly being written out of the show.

An insider said: ‘It’s been a tough year for both Helen and Olly. They spent a lot of time together on set, walking their dogs together and chatting a lot.

“They both respect each other as actors, support each other and are committed to their roles in the drama. The changes in their relationships have caused a lot of unrest.’

A spokesperson for Helen said: ‘Yes, she has been visiting a friend for a cup of tea – as all friends do – and as we have always said, that’s all there is to it.’

Ny Breaking has contacted Olly’s representatives for further comment.

Olly recently split from his make-up artist girlfriend Natasha Fagri in July after seven years together, after reportedly growing apart due to work commitments.

Meanwhile, Helen split from her partner Jack Ashton the same month, after they first met on the set of Call The Midwife seven years earlier.

She has played Trixie on the show since 2012, while Jack joined the series two years later as Tom Hereward.

The pair’s characters began an on-screen romance and Tom proposed to Trixie, before ending their relationship.

In real life, the couple are said to have fallen for each other after traveling to South Africa to film the show’s 2016 Christmas special.

A year later, they welcomed their first child Wren, before their second daughter Lark was born in November 2021.

In May 2021, Helen gave a rare insight into her relationship with Jack and opened up about how their work in the same industry helped their romance.

The couple is now focusing on co-parenting their two children.

Call The Midwife is set in the 1950s and 1960s in London’s East End – and focuses on a group of midwives in a nursing convent.
