According to new reports, Call The Midwife star Helen George has joined dating app Raya.
The 40-year-old actress, who plays nurse Trixie, created a profile on the VIP site after she ‘broke up’ with her departed co-star Olly Rix, who played her film husband Matthew Aylward.
Helen and Olly were said to have supported each other when they ended their relationship.
She split from her partner Jack Ashton in July 2023 after seven years, while Olly split from his girlfriend Natasha Fagri during the same period.
In November, she was photographed leaving Olly’s house, sparking rumours of a growing connection between the two. They have since unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The actress, who plays nurse Trixie, created a profile on the VIP site after ‘growing apart’ with her sacked co-star Olly Rix (pictured), who played her screen husband Matthew Aylward.
After Olly and Jack, Helen signed up for the star-studded app last month, according to The Mirror.

The actress recently sparked speculation about a romantic relationship among fans online after she shared a slew of photos from her latest Italian vacation, which featured a number of new faces.
She looked stunning in the many photos, including a bikini selfie and a few group shots where she got up close with a never-before-seen brunette man.
Curious fans of the star rushed to the comments, writing: ‘Who’s the new guy?’ and ‘A new friend? Very handsome!’
However, Helen was quick to deny the romance rumors and confirmed that the mystery fan was in fact just a friend who is married.
In response to a suggestive comment asking who the man was, she responded with, “My best friends Ryan and Oliver, who are married to each other,” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
The actress saw the humor in the situation and joked, “Unfortunately, I’m not their type.”

Helen’s Italian getaway comes shortly after she was first spotted filming scenes for season 14, after her TV husband Olly Rix was written out of the BBC show.
The actress, who played the role of nurse Trixie Franklin since the series began in 2012, transformed into a heroic midwife in the 1970s.
Call The Midwife season 14 will kick off with a festive special on Christmas Day and will air the full eight-episode series in January 2025.
The 13th season ended with Trixie choosing to go with her husband Matthew after he traveled to New York.
However, after it was reported that actor Olly had been written out of the series, it appears that Trixie will return to Poplar in future episodes, but without her husband.
