CALL the Midwife's Helen George was left mortified after an exchange with a fan while filming the new series.<\/p>\n
The actress, 39, will reprise her role as beloved nurse Trixie when the BBC medical period drama returns in the New Year.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Filming is still underway with the cast shooting brand new episodes on location at the Historic Dockyard in Kent.<\/p>\n
It's also the same spot where the official show tours take place for viewers to experience the show.<\/p>\n
However, it led to an awkward moment as Helen George was mistaken for a tour guide by a fan.<\/p>\n
Explaining the mortifying exchange, the star told Claudia Winkleman: "This week I was mistaken for a Trixie lookalike impersonator tour guide at the Chatham museum, and asked for directions to the toilet!<\/p>\n
"I obliged, as I knew where they were!"<\/p>\n But Helen didn't reveal her true identity to the fan and revealed she often pretends to be a guide so she's not heckled.<\/p>\n She explained: "Sometimes if I\u2019m down there and sort of not in the mood, if someone says 'Are you Trixie from Call the Midwife?', I say 'No, I\u2019m a tour guide'. It works both ways!"<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Call the Midwife was recently blasted for its 'outdated and inaccurate' childbirth scenes.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n A team of medical professors and scientists from King's College\u00a0London\u00a0and the\u00a0University\u00a0of\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0examined 87 births shown in 48 episodes of three popular UK fictional and reality\u00a0TV\u00a0shows, including BBC's\u00a0Call The Midwife,\u00a0This Is Going To Hurt\u00a0and\u00a0Channel 4's One Born Every Minute.<\/p>\n They discovered that most birth scenes showed modern updates to labour care, in line with guidelines by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).<\/p>\n It led to show bosses issuing a statement, defending their writing.<\/p>\n They said: "Call The Midwife is a drama, not a documentary, and is set half a century ago.<\/p>\n "It is highly accurate to the period it depicts and shows how childbirth has changed radically over the years."<\/p>\n<\/picture>I'VE GOT A TEXT! <\/span><\/p>\n
