When was Helen George on Strictly?
Helen competed in Strictly Come Dancing in 2015. She was partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec and they were booted off on the quarter finals. They finished in sixth place.
But there were rumours that the results were “fixed” and Helen said the show was “controlled.”
While speaking to The Sun she said: “It is a dance show and a television show so there has to be drama and it has to be somewhat controlled for it to fit the format. I don’t know what happened and I wasn’t privy to it.”
Who is Helen George with now?
Helen has been in a relationship with her former co-star, Jack Ashton, since 2016.
Jack played character Tom Hereward in Call The Midwife.
In 2017, they welcomed a daughter, Wren Ivy. She was born six weeks early, and by caesarean.
While speaking to the Radio Times, she explained: “I haven’t spoken about this before… but I chose to have a C-section [caesarean].
“It coincided with the fact that I had to deliver her early, but even without that, I would have gone for an elective caesarean because of what I’d learnt on Call the Midwife.”
