between the pair &#8211; but they have since unfollowed each other on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, Helen and Olly drifted apart and after joining Raya in a bid to find love, she is now dating the property marketing agency boss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to Dan&#8217;s LinkedIn profile, he has worked in real estate for more than 25 years and his specialist skill is that &#8216;he sees the bigger property picture &#8211; which now activity embraces technology&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He was brought up in North Wales and attended Newcastle University before moving down to settle in London.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Dan is currently the managing director and founder of real estate consultancy firm Innesco. He split from the mother of his two children Kate Wetten in 2016. They married in 2008.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In 2016, Helen began a relationship with Jack after meeting on the set of Call The Midwife, in which she plays Trixie Franklin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The pair&#8217;s characters embarked on a romance on screen and Tom proposed to Trixie, before she ended their relationship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In real life, the couple were said to have fallen for each other after travelling to South Africa to film the show&#8217;s 2016 Christmas Special.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Confirming the split, Helen told The Mirror in July 2023: &#8216;Some months ago, we separated. Our two beautiful girls remain the focus and I respectfully ask for privacy for this next chapter.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Helen George enjoyed a date night with her boyfriend Dan Innes as they led the stars attending the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310004,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[127563,434,118,18,117,19,17,130,438],"class_list":{"0":"post-310003","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-call-the-midwife","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-dailymail","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-london","16":"tag-tvshowbiz"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115979201483659472","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310003"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310003\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
