Call The Midwife star Helen George has joined celebrity dating app Raya, according to new reports.
The actress, 40, who plays Nurse Trixie, set up a profile on the VIP site after she ‘drifted apart’ from axed co-star Olly Rix, who played her onscreen husband Matthew Aylward.
Helen and Olly were said to be supporting each other as they navigated their respective splits.
She split from her partner Jack Ashton in July 2023 after seven years together, whilst Olly separated from his girlfriend Natasha Fagri at a similar time.
In November, she was snapped leaving Olly’s home which sparked rumours of a growing connection between the pair – but have now unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Moving on from Olly and Jack, Helen signed up to the star-studded app last month, according to The Mirror.
On her profile, Helen describes herself as an actor and says she liked to go to hotels, restaurants and bars, meditation, theatre, travel, dogs and antiques.
MailOnline have contacted Helen’s representatives for a comment.
The actress recently ignited romance speculation among fans online after sharing a slew of images from her latest Italian getaway, featuring some new faces.
She looked gorgeous in the carousel of images, including a bikini selfie and a few group photos where she was up-close with a previously-unseen brunette man.
Curious fans of the star rushed to the comments, writing: ‘Who’s the new dude?’ and ‘A new beau? Very handsome!’
However, Helen was quick to shut down the romance rumours and confirm that the mystery fan was in fact just a friend, who is married.
She responded to one suggestive comment that asked who the man was, with: ‘My best friends Ryan and Oliver who are married to each other,’ alongside a laughing emoji.
Finding humour in the situation, the actress went on to joke: ‘Sadly I’m not their type.’

In the caption, Helen continued: ‘Puglia with my wonderful friends. Thank you @yvette_robinson_ for such a wonderful trip and my best friends, husbands- @ryspeaks and @oliverthorntonhome for being wonderful and the best traveling pals a gal could wish for.’
The star looked stunning in her holiday snaps, in group photos putting on a busty display and donning a black lacy maxi dress.
Another picture with her pal saw the actress sporting a leopard print bikini and wearing her hair in plaits for a boat snap.
Helen’s Italian getaway comes just after she was spotted filming scenes for series 14 for the first time, after her on-screen husband Olly Rix was written out of the BBC show.
The actress, who has played Nurse Trixie Franklin since the show’s inception in 2012, transformed into the heroic midwife as the series steps closer to the 1970s.
Call The Midwife’s 14th series will begin with a festive special on Christmas Day before airing its full run of eight episodes in January 2025.
The 13th series ended with Trixie opting to join her husband Matthew after he travelled to New York.
However, after it was reported that actor Olly had been written out of the series, it appears that Trixie will return to Poplar in future episodes, without her husband.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘They were there for each other in the wake of their splits.
‘But it seems they are no longer close and have made this clear by removing each other on social media.
‘Olly even went one step further and deleted a picture of him and Helen from Instagram.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for both Helen George and Olly Rix for comment.
