Holby City star Camilla Arfwedson marries Call the Midwife actor Jack Hawkins in secret

A couple from two of the BBC's most popular shows – Call the Midwife and Holby City – have secretly married. Holby City actress Camilla Arfwedson has revealed that she tied the knot with Call the Midwife's Jack Hawkins, after first meeting when the actor played a patient on the medical drama in 2016.

Camilla shared the happy news as she resumed her role as Dr Zosia March after a four year break. The actress' feisty character was last seen on-screen leaving husband Ollie Valentine and heading to America to work. "I wanted to try something else and we also got married," Camilla told The Sun. "It was a low-key ceremony in London but it was really lovely. It was great. It's nice to be back for a couple of months. I love it on Holby."

Although Camilla and Jack kept their wedding low-key, she did share one photo from their wedding day on Instagram at the end of October. The snap shows the couple exiting their wedding ceremony hand-in-hand, giving a glimpse at the bride's figure-hugging ivory gown, which featured a plunging V-back. The actress pinned flowers into her hair, which was worn down in loose waves, while her groom looked dapper in a navy suit.
