Set in 1960s Poplar, Call the Midwife follows a group of nuns and midwives as they welcome new life into London's poverty-stricken East End. George has starred in the show since its inception in 2012, playing Nurse Trixie Franklin. She's often spied at the local disco, or shimmying to 60s tunes in the nunnery, which might come in handy.

She also ran the London Marathon earlier this year, so she's already proved she's determined, dedicated and blessed with serious stamina...
