CASUALTY hunk Olly Rix has confirmed his new romance with a co-star – going Instagram official months after splitting from a Call The Midwife actress.

Olly in character as Flynn Byron in Casualty.

The 40-year-old actor, who plays sexy surgeon Flynn Byron on the long-running BBC show, is in a relationship with Anna Chell, 28, who appears opposite him as nurse Jodie Whyte.

Olly confirmed their romance by sharing a string of loved-up snaps from their summer together on Instagram – along with adorable pictures with his pet dog Nellie.

He captioned the post: “Summer with Anna and Nellie.”

Fans rushed to the comment section to share their excitement as the pair go Instagram official.

One wrote: “This is so cute, you are actually made for each other.”

Another added: “My heart is so happy.”

A third penned: “I never knew they were a couple how cute xx”.

The Sun revealed that they were dating after meeting on the set of the BBC medical drama.

The actor teased fans on social media with a snap of Anna on his Instagram stories – fuelling rumours that the co-stars were dating and getting close.

Back in June, he shared a snap of them enjoying a day out together at a stonemason’s workshop, dabbling in masonry together.

Olly played Matthew on Call the Midwife for three years, and The Sun exclusively revealed last year that he was last year leaving to go to Casualty.

He joined the Saturday night drama last year after the end of his brief relationship with Helen George, 41, who also plays a nurse, Trixie Franklin, on Call the Midwife.

It not only saw her play the wife of Olly’s character, businessman Matthew Aylward, but also act alongside her real life partner and dad of her two children, Jack Ashton, 38, whom she split with in 2023.

An insider said at the time: “After finding himself uncomfortably thrust into the spotlight towards the end of his time on Call the Midwife, Olly’s in a really good place at the moment.

“Over the last year he’s quickly settled into his new role on Casualty,  got a new home in Cardiff where the drama is filmed, and is enjoying a blossoming romance with Anna.

“Devotees of the drama will no doubt be analysing their scenes together to see if there are tell-tale hints of chemistry between them – assuming they haven’t already spotted signs.”

Previously, Olly and Helen had been frequently pictured growing close this year as they both split from their respective real-life partners.

It came four months after she announced her split from actor partner Jack Ashton, whom she met on the BBC show in 2014.
