Helen George has been spending the summer in Puglia, Italy, and the Call the Midwife actress looked sensational in a post she shared on her social media. Posing with friends and sharing the "wonderful" time she'd had in the gorgeous European destination, Helen was stunning in a floor-length black lace gown. The 40-year-old, who is known for her role as Nurse Trixie Franklin in the BBC midwifery drama , styled the gorgeous dress with black pointed stiletto heals and her hair in loose waves.

Helen's dress was lace throughout with a sheer slip underneath and sparkling diamante detailing across the low-cut front. In the caption on Instagram, the mother-of-two shared: "Puglia with my wonderful friends thank you @yvette_robinson_ and @yvette_robinson_ for such a wonderful trip and my best friends, husbands - @ryspeaks and @oliverthorntonhome for being wonderful and the best travelling pals a gal could wish for." Fans were loving the series of summer snaps.

One person wrote in the comment section: "Could you be any more adorable?!!" Another said: "Beautiful, you look so happy." A third commented: "Love this for you." Helen posted not only photos of their glamorous evening but also of the other exciting antics they had while in the Med.

The BBC star looked fresh-faced and stunning in a selfie on a boat alongside her close pal, while another showed her and another friend partying the night away in a club with a drink in hand. Helen's Puglia content didn't stop there, she also previous.
