Helen George, 42, ‘splits’ from boyfriend, 52, after whirlwind romance: ‘It has been a difficult time’

The pair started dating last year

Call the Midwife star Helen George has reportedly split from her boyfriend after “their differences became apparent”.

In February 2025, it was reported that Helen was dating dad-of-two businessman Dan Innes. Their romance comes after Helen’s surprise split from Jack Ashton in 2023.

Helen then shared the first snap of Dan a month later from a luxurious weekend away, appearing to confirm their romance. And earlier this year, it was reported that pair had taken the step in their romance and had moved in with one another.

But now, it’s been claimed that Helen and Dan have split, with a source saying it’s “been a difficult time for them both”.
