Olly recently split from his make-up artist girlfriend Natasha Fagri in July after seven years together after reportedly growing apart over work commitments.
Meanwhile, Helen split from her partner Jack Ashton that same month after they first met on the set of Call The Midwife seven years earlier.
She has played Trixie in the series since 2012, while Jack joined the series two years later as Tom Hereward.
The couple’s characters began an on-screen romance and Tom proposed to Trixie before she ended their relationship.
In real life, the couple were said to have fallen in love 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, sharing how the pair’s work in the same industry fueled their romance.
The couple is now concentrating on raising their two children together.
Call The Midwife is set in London’s East End in the 1950s and 1960s – and focuses on a group of midwives in a nursing convent.
