Helen George looked incredible as she stepped out in a dazzling baby blue Cinderella-style gown, paired with glass-effect heels, to promote the theatrical show The King and I.<\/p>\n

The lavish production will star the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant as Anna Leonowens for a six-week run in January – but it is believed that she won’t be leaving Call The Midwife behind to do so, as her character in the BBC show still has unfinished business.<\/p>\n

Helen, who recently announced she’d split from fellow Call The Midwife actor Jack Ashton over the summer, stunned at London’s Savoy Hotel this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Her ankle-length gown, complete with dramatic satin ruffles, might have looked glamorous, but according to the 39-year-old starlet, that’s nothing compared to the drama of the dress she’ll be modelling in The King and I.<\/p>\n

She recently revealed to Alex Jones on The One Show: “The dress weighs 40 pounds, it is huge. I am starting to rehearse in the petticoat, but no one can get close to me because it comes out so far!”<\/p>\n

She also added that she can scarcely believe her “luck” after being invited to take on the lead role in the “classical” musical – one Helen never thought she’d “have the opportunity to play”.<\/p>\n

“Theatre is my first love, and I am so excited to be returning to the stage for this beautiful, majestic production of The King and I,” she marvelled.<\/p>\n

“Anna is such a strong, passionate and determined character, and I’m going to relish bringing her to life every night, as well as giving audiences all over the UK the chance to see this peerless Broadway and West End musical right on their doorstep.”<\/p>\n

The multi-award winning production has previously broken box office records and achieved standing ovations at every show, so it’s already beloved by the British public – and producers are hoping Helen can add her own distinctive touch of magic to the role.<\/p>\n
