Helen George has admitted that she sometimes gets in the mood for ‘shorter, lower and more glittery’ outfits on Strictly Come Dancing.

The Call the Midwife actress, who has just announced her split from husband Oliver Boot, has revealed her penchant for getting dressed up.

Speaking to MailOnline, she said: “The dresses are one of the best bits and all the glitter.

“The costumes are incredible and things you’d never wear. If someone in real life said ‘wear that’ you’d be like ‘there’s no way.’”

She added: “You totally get in the mood and you’re like “ooh let’s have it a bit shorter, have it a bit lower, have a bit more glitter.’”

A rep for 30-year-old confirmed that her marriage was over in a statement earlier this week.

They said: “I can confirm that Helen separated from her husband some time ago.”

The actress will have a busy few months as she juggles her appearance on Stricty with filming for the fifth series of Call The Midwife.

She said: “I’m doing both at the same time, I’m a bit worried about it.

“Most of the time it’ll be alright, it’ll just be the days when I’ve got loads of medical stuff, because I find it quite hard to learn the language, so that’ll be quite tricky.”

The new series of Strictly Come Dancing kicks off on BBC One this Saturday.
