Helen in the King And dye
CALL The Midwife actress Helen George shows off a new look – as she launches her musical.
The actress – who plays Trixie Franklin in the BBC One show – has gone from blonde to brunette for her role in The King And I, which opens at London’s Dominion Theatre in January.
She dazzled in a blue gown as she was joined by the young cast for a photocall at the Savoy hotel yesterday.

“The dress weighs 40lb. It is huge. I am starting to rehearse in the petticoat but no one can get close to me because it comes out so far.”
Helen will be back in more familiar surroundings next month as she stars in the Call The Midwife Christmas special, which is traditionally one of TV’s biggest festive shows.
A BRAND new six-part drama called The Wives is coming to Channel 5. The thriller, involving corrupt officials, drug cartels and career criminals, follows the unravelling of one family during a summer that changes all their lives. Filming is due to begin in Malta next year.
C5 axed doc over 'Nazi link'
CHANNEL 5 binned a history documentary hours before it was set to air after discovering that it featured an alleged “hardline Nazi”.
It’s been claimed a woman named Nikki Shaw, who reportedly called for singer SAM SMITH “to be gassed”, was set to appear in the film about London’s 1928 floods.
Shared along with the claims around the “historian”, were photos of a woman doing the Nazi salute, and holding a lolly pop with a swastika on it.
Anti-racism campaigners Hope Not Hate claimed Shaw was due to be seen in the doc, called The Year The Thames Flooded, which was due to air on Sunday night.
A spokesperson told The Sun: “We will not be airing the film this evening while producers look into this.”
It's good morning, Hannah
TED LASSO star Hannah Waddingham is looking a favourite to become a new host on This Morning.
The actress – who plays football club owner Rebecca Welton in the Apple TV+ show – did a mock intro for the ITV show during an interview with Friday hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in March.
And after going down a storm presenting the Eurovision Song Contest in May, fans believe Hannah could be the perfect replacement for Holly Willoughby, who left the show last month.
Asked by TalkTV if she would be up for a presenting role, she said: “I’d like to dip in here and there. I’m happy with what I’m doing.”
