Call the Midwife actress Helen George has seemingly found love again after calling it quits with her partner and the father of her two children, Jack Ashton.

In recent weeks, the mother-of-two has teased a new romance, sharing multiple snapshots featuring a businessman called Dan Innes. Helen tagged Dan in a Valentine’s Day dinner photo, as well as snapshots from a luxurious weekend getaway.

According to MailOnline, Helen and divorced dad-of-two, Dan, met on dating app, Raya. 

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, the 40-year-old further added to speculation when she shared two images of the pair looking cosy while enjoying a riverside picnic.

One snapshot showed Helen taking a selfie in the sunshine with her reported beau, while a second showed the copper-haired star tucking into a delicious-looking spread beside a rippling river.

The duo beamed for the camera, with Helen also placing one hand on Dan’s arm in a touching display of affection.

For the sun-drenched outing, the Birmingham-born beauty donned a sleek, tailored cardigan complete with white piping. She wore her caramel tresses down loose and slipped on a pair of funky sunglasses to protect her eyes from the brilliant sunshine.

As for glamour, Helen highlighted her features with a bronzed base and a slick of juicy lipstick. Dan, meanwhile, looked dapper dressed in a dove grey cardigan, a white T-shirt and some tinted sunglasses.

In her caption, the TV star, who is best known for portraying Nurse Trixie in Call the Midwife, simply wrote: “Sundowners.” A caption in Dan’s post, meanwhile, read: “First picnic of 2025…”.

While not much is known about Dan, he is currently the managing director and founder of real estate consultancy firm Innesco. His Instagram bio reads: “Future thinker, global voyeur, architecturally inquisitive, marine + mountainous, health + moderation, national + Atlantic oarsman, possible viking.”
