What exactly did she call the midwife?

- BY NICOLA METHVEN TV Editor

BLUE NUN Miriam on show CALL The Midwife star Miriam Margolyes turned the air as blue as her nun’s habit while filming the Christmas special.

The actress, 77, who plays Sister Mildred in the BBC1 drama, even shocked crew with her swearing.

Her outburst came as the cast filmed the festive scenes during a heatwave in May.

Actor Stephen McGann, who plays Dr Patrick Turner, said: “She’s brilliant. She is capable of the most beautifull­y observed and intelligen­t performanc­e, and then she’ll come out with an expletive at the end of it.”

Judy Parfitt, who plays the elderly Sister Monica Joan, added: “When you see the crew and they go [gasp], then you know.” A HUGE wave crashes into sea defences as Britain was battered by 80mph winds from Storm Diana. Hundreds of homes faced power cuts in the South West, Midlands and Wales and there was chaos on roads, railways and ferries. Two people were injured when an uprooted tree fell on their car in Compton Chamberlay­ne, Wilts.

The Met Office said the wind would subside tonight but kept weather warnings in place.

It forecast sunshine, blustery showers and temperatur­es of 8C to 10C across the UK today.
