Call The Midwife's Helen George and Olly Rix on double date amid romance rumours
Call The Midwife co-stars Helen George and Olly Rix looked close once again as they headed out on a double date.
The actors were spotted in Kensington, London as they joined Helen's friend for a pub lunch. Helen, 39, and Olly, 36, arrived and left together in a taxi along with the actress' dog. They worked up an appetite for their meal by walking the pooch and Helen could be seen nipping out of the venue to take her pup for a toilet break.
The pair, who work together on the BBC long-running drama, dressed casual for their meal out. Matthew Aylward actor Olly donned blue jeans paired with a navy sweatshirt while Trixie Franklin star Helen looked gorgeous in a black leather coat, dark blue jeans and a one-shoulder black top. The actress topped her look off with a pair of dark sunglasses, black heeled boots and crossbody bag.

Both stars recently split from their partners with Helen calling time on her romance with Jack Ashton who also starred in Call The Midwife and with whom she shares two children.
The two actors have been facing romance rumours after Olly parted ways with his make-up artist girlfriend Natasha Fagri - who he had dated for seven years. A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Olly and Natasha were very happy together for a long time, but eventually drifted apart due to work commitments. They have a lot of respect for each other and share custody of their pet dog. They are both busy with work and focusing on their future and different projects.”

Olly and co-star Helen are said to have been supporting each other through their breakups but has also resulted in romance speculation.
Helen was spotted leaving Olly's London home last year as a spokesperson told The Mirror at the time: "Yes, she went to visit a friend for a cup of tea - like all friends do - and as we have always said, there is nothing more to this." However, last month Helen and Olly looked close with each other as she celebrated her latest stage performance.
An source told The Sun: “Helen made a beeline for Olly as she arrived at the afterparty. The pair spent all evening together with Olly putting his hand on her back as she chatted to her fellow cast members. At one point, two people switched seats on a sofa so Olly and Helen could sit next to each other." They went on to say Olly was "very protective" of Helen and "kissed her on the cheek" as he left.
