Helen, who publicly announced her separation from Jack Ashton last summer, is now said to be seeking new romantic prospects through the exclusive app Raya.
Her profile, which was reportedly created last month and is linked to her Instagram account, highlights her interests in hotels, dining out, meditation, theatre, travel, dogs, and antiques. Additionally, her profile features Leon Bridges’ song “Smooth Sailin'” as a personal touch, according to the Mirror.
An insider shared with the Mirror, “Helen and Olly were close and provided each other support during their breakups. However, their lives have since taken different paths. Encouraged by friends, Helen decided to join Raya in hopes of meeting someone she truly connects with.”
Helen’s character, Trixie Franklin, will return to Poplar in the next season of ‘Call the Midwife,’ despite moving to New York in the previous season
The source emphasized that Helen is in a good place and not stressing about finding a relationship. “She’s very content at the moment, so if a meaningful relationship comes along, it would just be a nice addition to her life.”
Helen has been sharing moments from her recent vacation in Puglia, Italy, where she has posted images of herself in charming locations and spending time with friends. This trip followed her work on the 14th season of Call the Midwife, her first since her on-screen husband, Matthew Aylward, played by Olly, left the show.
The previous season ended with Helen’s character, Trixie Franklin, choosing to move to New York with Matthew. However, Helen’s return to the set suggests that Trixie will be back in Poplar for the upcoming episodes.
A social media update from the Call the Midwife team featured a behind-the-scenes image with the caption, “Here’s a sneak peek from the Call the Midwife Christmas Special, set to air this holiday season in 2024! This lovely shot showcases our own Georgie Glen as the iconic Miss Higgins.”
The caption also humorously noted, “We couldn’t help but notice the abundance of the quintessential British vegetable… SPROUTS! There are so many!”
