Call The Midwife star looks like a 'different person' as she ditches blonde bob
A Call The Midwife star looked completely different as she opted for a drastically different hairstyle.
Helen George, 38, plays Trixie Franklin in the BBC drama, with the character rocking a trademark blonde bob.
However in a new photo on Instagram, the actor, who has been on Call the Midwife since it began in 2012, looks almost unrecognisable with long brown wavy hair.
Helen wears a black off the shoulder dress with a feathered neckline, matching her wavy chestnut locks.
The star's make-up is done flawlessly and she appears to be on an evening out, as she stands in front of a plush blue wall with a gilded picture frame behind her.
Call the Midwife fan favourites will return for next series after exits teased

She looked completely different in a snap on Instagram (Instagram/helenrgeorge)Sharing the photo yesterday, Helen simply posted a black love heart emoji in the caption and credited a make-up artist.
Friends and followers rushed to complement Helen on her new look, with one pal saying: "Sooooooo there for this look!"
The kind words prompted Helen herself to comment: "Just needed a change babes xx"
One TV fan suggested her character Trixie adopts the hair colour too, writing: "Please keep the colour for series 13 on call the midwife. New trixie for 1970."
Another person said: "I didn't recognise you. You look like a different person."
Another likened her to former X Factor judge Danni Minogue.

Fans of the series may recall Sister Frances befriending a teen mum who scratches her hands ‘red raw’ during pregnancy and just after.
She was eventually diagnosed with Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) - a liver condition which affects one in 140 pregnant women in the UK, as per the .
The condition prevents the proper flow of bile from the liver to the gut to assist with digestion, which in turn causes a harmful build up of stomach acid in the body instead.

Speaking to Heat Magazine , Helen said: “They were very kind last year to cover cholestasis of pregnancy, which is something that I suffered from in both of my pregnancies.
“That wasn’t really something that myself and Heidi [Thomas, the series writer] ever had, but there was obviously an awareness.”
She continued: “I think it’s lovely when life mirrors art, and there’s a touch of that.

“Heidi has been with me through both of my pregnancies, everybody [on the show] has,” Helen said.
Helen also spoke to the publication about her work with the charity, ICP Support, and how they influenced the storyline.
