Casualty hunk 'dating another BBC co-star' just months after 'drifting apart' from his Call The Midwife colleague who played his on-screen wife
A Casualty hunk is reportedly dating another on-screen co-star, just months after splitting from his Call The Midwife girlfriend. Actor Olly Rix is said to be romantically involved with Anna Chell, 28, who stars in the BBC medical drama as nurse Jodie Whyte. Olly, 40, plays handsome clinical lead consultant Flynn Byron on Casualty and was introduced to viewers earlier this year. A source close to Olly said he is in a 'really good place' and is enjoying his 'blossoming romance' with Anna. They told The Sun: 'After finding himself uncomfortably thrust into the spotlight towards the end of his time on Call the Midwife, Olly's in a really good place at the moment. 'Over the last year he's quickly settled into his new role on Casualty, got a new home in Cardiff where the drama is filmed, and is enjoying a blossoming romance with Anna. 'Devotees of the drama will no doubt be analysing their scenes together to see if there are tell-tale hints of chemistry between them - assuming they haven't already spotted signs.' MailOnline has contacted representatives for both Olly and Anna for comment. Olly took to social media on the weekend to reveal he had been spending time with Anna as they enjoyed a masonry class together. They could be seen engraving one another's names onto stone. Prior to landing a role in the emergency department, Olly played Helen George's on-screen husband Matthew Aylward in Call The Midwife. The pair later became close off-screen, though 'drifted apart' with Helen, 41, spotted on celebrity dating app Raya in September 2024. Olly and Helen were said to be supporting each other through their respective breakups when they grew close. It was revealed that Helen had split from her partner Jack Ashton in July 2023 after seven years together, whilst Olly separated from his girlfriend Natasha Fagri at a similar time. In November of that year Helen was spotted leaving Olly's home just hours after he was spotted returning with two coffees An insider said at the time: 'It's been a tricky year for both Helen and Olly. They have been spending a lot of time together on set, walking their dogs together and chatting a lot. 'They both have respect for each other as actors and they are supportive of each other and dedicated to their roles on the drama. The changes in their relationships have caused a lot of upheaval.' However, a spokesperson for Helen hit back: 'Yes, she went to visit a friend for a cup of tea - like all friends do - and as we have always said, there is nothing more to this.'
