Call the Midwife’s Victoria Yeates supported by Loose Women star after on-air stumble

Call the Midwife actress Victoria Yeates appeared on the hit ITV daytime show alongside Coleen Nolan, Charlene White and Kelle Bryan to discuss her latest project

Call the Midwife star Victoria Yeates had a bit of a stumble on live TV, but the Loose Women panellists were quick to lend a hand.

Best known for her portrayal of Sister Winifred, Victoria graced the set of ITV’s popular daytime programme where she joined Coleen Nolan, Charlene White, and Kelle Bryan to chat about her new project Wormhole Play, which aims to bring attention to domestic violence.

However, as she made her entrance, she experienced a slight mishap by tripping up on stage, leading Coleen to remark: “We need to get rid of that step.”

Before the incident, Charlene had introduced the segment, saying: “Earlier this year we launched a new campaign to help those suffering from domestic abuse joining forces to Face It Together.”

She went on to introduce Victoria: “Call the Midwife actress Victoria Yeates joins us to talk about her latest role, which shines a spotlight on domestic abuse as well as the very personal reason she wants to raise awareness. Please welcome Victoria,” reports Wales Online.

The audience clapped as Victoria stepped onto the stage, but she took a misstep and nearly fell as she approached her seat.

The panellists were quick to ensure she was alright, with Charlene addressing the moment: “Oh goodness me, and breathe.”

Victoria recovered gracefully, flashing a smile at the audience. The star opened up about her new play, explaining: “It’s about a woman who is in a mental health facility and she has forgotten why she is actually there. The show goes through her trying to piece together her memory and remember the reason why she is there and what has happened to her.”

She went on: “She has been in an abusive relationship so it goes through different moments and red flags that have happened over the years to help her remember what happened.”

The actress then bravely opened up about her own experience with domestic abuse, adding: “I was in a controlling relationship and I think that going through his play you start to have flashbacks to moments where you think ‘I didn’t even realise that was happening’.”

She finished by revealing the reasoning behind the play: “I think why we wanted to do the play is so people can have these sorts of conversations because when we do these workshops what happens is when you hear that someone else was going through the same thing it removes all the shame and guilt that you feel.”
