Call The Midwife's Helen George wows in swimsuit as she poses for rare photo with daughters

Actress Helen George shared some rare family photos with her fans when she took to Instagram on Wednesday.

Fresh from sharing some very exciting news about her future plans, the star posted a new image to her Stories that showed her in the pool with her two daughters, looking so stylish in a light blue one-piece swimsuit, with her hair casually tied back.

The devoted mum had one arm shielding her face from the sun as she smiled for the camera, standing in the shallow end with her daughters, Wren Ivy, five, and Lark, one, who she shares with her partner and former co-star, Jack Ashton.

Helen tagged the Grove Hotel and added the relatable caption: "Pretending it's summer…"

The Call The Midwife star also shared a series of snapshots to her grid, one of which showed Wren Ivy looking out from a balcony to an incredible lush landscape below, with rolling fields as far as the eye could see.

Helen recently melted fans' hearts when she shared the cutest selfie with her youngest daughter. In the image, Helen snuggled up to her one-year-old tot who was sporting two tiny pigtails. "Lark and her pigtails," the busy mum remarked in her caption.

Despite the lovely picture between mother and daughter, many fans wereleft divided over Helen's newly-dyed brunette hair.

"Cute. You look so different as a brunette. Not the same ol' Trixie! Love you as Trixie!" said one, while another added: "You look so different with dark hair, didn't recognise you if it weren't for seeing your name above your post. You look fab though and Lark's curls are too cute!"

Others heaped praise on the recent transformation, with one saying: "You look fantastic with dark hair, it really suits you."
