Helen revealed the stunning costume and the fitted corsets were giving her 'internal damage' and admitted she has no feeling in her hips anymore. 

Discussing the new role, Dermot asked: 'When you go back into theatre, as an actor, how scary is it?'

Helen admitted: Utterly terrifying!' It is, but we film for six months a year and apart from during Covid, I've always tried to do some sort of theatre in between.

'Because it really sort of gets you back and reignites you and I think it sharpens you.'

And Helen certainly seemed at ease with the role when she later performed in the studio.

Previously discussing the role, she shared: 'I'm over the moon, it's such a huge role. 

'I'd never even thought I could play it and they offered it to me and I said "of course I can't say no!" That's one of the best roles in musical theatre ever.' 

Helen is best known for her role in medical period drama, Call The Midwife.

Her character Trixie Franklin and Matthew Aylward (played by Olly Rix) got their happy ending when they married on the show.

The BBC drama returned with a Christmas special on Christmas Day and season 12 kicked off on New Year’s Day.
