CALL the Midwife fans were left sobbing after after a beloved character gets shock news

BBC One viewers were thrilled for Cyril Robinson after he discovered that he had landed a job as a civil engineer.

During an emotional scene from Sunday's episode, Cyril shared a tender heart-to-heart with Fred Buckle (Cliff Parisi) in the newsagent.

After opening a letter, Cyril went quiet and began to cry happy tears as it dawned on him that he had been offered his dream job.

"I've got a job, Fred," the chuffed mechanic remarked. "I've got a civil engineering job."

"Oh mate, have you got a hanky?" Fred asked. But Cyril replied: "I'm alright."

He added: "All the time, in all the years since I arrived, I never let one tear fall. I wouldn't."

Viewers were in floods of tears as they watched the heartwarming moment, with one writing: "#CalltheMidwife always makes me cry, some of the best emotional scenes. Cyril deserves the best."

Another simply posted: "Cyril, my heart #CallTheMidwife."

A third commented: "My days bawling my eyes out #callthemidwife #cyril."

"In floods of tears at tonight's #CallTheMidwife. Such a sweet moment with Cyril and Fred," another Tweeted.

Someone else shared: "Brilliant as usual! #tears #reality #CalltheMidwife." 

This isn't the first time that Call the Midwife has left fans in a blubbering mess - the Christmas episode left viewers emotional as they watched Cyril and nurse Lucille get married, despite there being some hitches.

At her hen party, Lucille got drunk and tripped on the stairs. The following morning she has a black eye and later discovered that she needed an X-ray due to the severity of the injury.

Planning to cancel the wedding fearing she looked disfigured, Dr Turner suggested that they use an old-fashioned remedy of medicinal leeches.

After enduring the gruesome treatment for 45 minutes, the swelling luckily reduced.

Lucille and Cyril Robinson walked down the aisle in a romantic ceremony on Boxing Day, surrounded by their closest friends and with Reggie Jackson (Daniel Laurie) as the best man.

Viewers were thrilled to see the couple tie the knot in a magical ceremony, with one writing: "Lucille looked gorgeous, what a brilliant episode. #CalltheMidwife"

Another posted: "So happy Lucille and Cyril got married. I don't know why I'm tearing up. #CalltheMidwife"

A third added: " #CalltheMidwife What a joyous wedding for Lucille and Cyril."
