Actress Helen George sparked a sweet fan reaction on Sunday when she shared a carousel of photos featuring her rarely-seen daughters, Lark and Wren.
Taking to Instagram, the Call the Midwife star uploaded a trio of sweet images from their weekend trip to Legoland in Windsor.
In one snapshot, the TV star, 40, could be seen posing in front of a pirate ride as her youngest daughter Lark, three, clambered up towards her mother, clad in a blue floral dress.

Wren, whom Helen welcomed in September 2017, had her copper tresses swept into a ponytail and was dressed in a blazing red T-shirt.

As for beauty, the actress ditched her recent 'bronde' hairdo in favour of a sunkissed transformation with creamy tones reigning supreme. She wore her fresh tresses down loose in a centre part, and rounded off her summer-ready look with a touch of bronzed makeup.

Helen's private life
Helen, who is best known for starring as nurse Trixie in Call the Midwife, shares Wren and Lark with her ex-partner, Jack Ashton.

While the pair largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight, Helen did release a statement shortly after their split which read: "Some months ago, we separated… Our two beautiful girls remain the focus and I respectfully ask for privacy for this next chapter."
Prior to this, Helen had been married to actor Oliver Boot from 2011 to 2015. In a searingly candid interview with The Telegraph in 2018, Helen said of their separation: "Going through a divorce is awful. I'd been asked to do Strictly and, strange as it sounds, I thought it would be like a sort of therapy after my divorce."

Helen has seemingly since found love with a businessman called Dan Innes. While the pair haven't publicly spoken about their romance, the pair have enjoyed numerous trips together, as well as a candlelit Valentine's Day dinner.
