Call the Midwife star Helen George sparked concern on Sunday when she shared a photograph of herself wearing a leg cast.
In the picture - which was shared to Instagram - the mother-of-two was photographed using a medical leg knee walker. And judging by the swathes of bandages, Helen, 39, appears to have sustained a painful-looking leg injury.
In spite of her injury, Helen looked as stylish as ever as she flashed a grin for the camera. Embracing the sunshine, she looked simply stunning in a gorgeous charcoal-hued bodycon dress which she teamed with a chic Yves Saint Laurent black cross body bag, some timeless, black Adidas trainers and a pair of elegant sunglasses.
She wore her raven tresses down loose and accentuated her naturally pretty features with a sweep of rosy makeup.

A third chimed in: "Oh no! Love the new wheels but hope it's short lived!" and a fourth sweetly added: "Oh my! Prayers for a speedy recovery. You look amazing!"

Helen and long-term partner Jack fell in love after meeting on set in South Africa. They now live together with their children in London. The duo moved into the property back in 2020 and they’ve since transformed the stunning property into a colourful home complete with modern and traditional twists.
