Helen George debuts stunning brunette locks as she describes her ‘terrifying’ new theater role that has left her with ‘internal damage’.
Helen George looked sensational on Friday morning as she showed off her new brunette locks.
The Call The Midwife star, 38, looked incredible as she spoke with presenters Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond about her “terrifying” decision to embark on her new role as Anna in The King and I theatrical tour of the big screen to switch to the stage.
While she’s managed to get over her nerves, she still has one issue on stage, her 40-pound princess dress, which is so uncomfortable she injured herself.

Helen revealed the stunning costume and tight-fitting corsets caused her “internal damage” and admitted she lost feeling in her hips.
Discussing the new role, Dermot asked, “If you go back into the theater as an actor, how scary is it?”
Helen admitted: Absolutely terrifying!’ It is, but we film six months a year and apart from Covid I’ve always tried to do some kind of theater in between.
“Because it really kind of gets you back and reignites you and I think it sharpens you.”
And Helen seemed comfortable with the role when she later appeared in the studio.

Speaking earlier about the role, she said: “I’m over the moon, it’s such a huge role.
“I never thought I could play it, and they offered it to me and I said, ‘Of course I can’t say no!’ This is one of the best roles in musical theater ever.”
Helen is best known for her role in the medical drama Call The Midwife.
Her characters Trixie Franklin and Matthew Aylward (played by Olly Rix) got their happy endings when they got married on the show.
The BBC drama returned on Christmas Day with a Christmas special and Season 12 launched on New Year’s Day.
