Call The Midwife star ties the knot with director fiancé and breaks wedding tradition as BBC star gushes 'we very much did it'
Call The Midwife actress Rebecca Gethings has tied the knot with her long-term partner, choosing a pink frock in a twist on tradition. The 47-year-who plays Sister Veronica in the hit BBC series, married her long-term partner, the animation director Tom Brass, with whom she has two children. Taking to Instagram, Rebecca confirmed her nuptials beneath a happy photo of the pair emerging from the Old Truman Brewery in London. She said: 'I do, he do, and we very much did' which prompted a slew of Call The Midwife cast members to send their best wishes. Renee Bailey who plays Joyce Highland, wrote: 'Wow.' And Natalie Quarry who stars as Rosalind Clifford, wrote: 'So gorgeous.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rebecca Gethings (@rebeccagethings) Since first joining the series in 2023, Rebecca's character Sister Veronica who works as a nun and health visitor, has become beloved by viewers for her plucky personality and forthright manner. Despite a shaky start, Sister Veronica proves her worth as she delivers babies, advocates for social care improvements and builds trust among her colleagues at Nonnatus House. But earlier this year the Canadian-born actress told how she'd experienced some 'spooky' encounters on set, as several co-stars are said to have witnessed some 'weird goings on' amid rumours that the Surrey-based building is haunted by an Edwardian lady. Rebecca told My Weekly magazine: 'I never go there on my own.' She went on to describe, 'lights going on and off and spooky male laughter outside the women's toilets.' She added: 'Just outside Dr Turner's office, our medic heard a bang when they were locking up for the night,' Gethings explained. 'She went running in and took a photo in the dark, and when you zoom in, there is the figure of an Edwardian lady holding what looks like a pig.' The period drama is filmed at Longcross Studios in Surrey, where a Victorian manor serves as Nonnatus House. But aside from some spookiness, Rebecca, who is also known for her roles in the BBC comedy The Thick of It and Ricky Gervais's Extras, also confessed that the Call the Midwife cast are like family. The cast and crew are currently filming the 15th series of the show which includes a two-part Christmas special set both in Hong Kong and Poplar, followed by eight hour-long episodes set in early 1971. It comes after it was reported that Call the Midwife will reportedly come to a close after its 15th series next year. The heartwarming show first aired in 2012 and has since put out 14 series, totalling to more than 100 episodes following the nurses and nuns in Poplar. A Christmas special for this year has already been announced, with the cast said to be currently at work filming for next year's series. However, according to The Daily Star, season 15 will be the show's last, as bosses want the popular drama to 'go out on a high'. A source told the publication: 'After years of drama and countless births, Call The Midwife is coming to an end. The team have decided it's time to draw the show to a close and bow out. 'This is the last we'll see of these much-loved characters. Storylines will tie up a lot of loose ends. It's a bittersweet time for the cast and crew. They're all sad it's coming to an end, but they want to make sure the show gets the ending it deserves.' However, the insider teased that there could be a special return episode one day in the future, saying: 'The writers are also open to the idea of reviving Call The Midwife for a special one day in the future. It's a case of never say never.'
