Axed Call the Midwife star Olly Rix has opened up about his sudden exit from the BBC show.

Rix played Matthew Aylward for three years, who was married to Trixie Franklin, played by Helen George.

The actors' departure was first announced in September 2023, with it later being confirmed at the end of series 13 when his character made the move to New York City for work.

At the time, fans and fellow stars of Call the Midwife shared their disappointment at Rix's exit, with many hoping he may one day return to the BBC show.
