‘Absolutely gutted!’ complain Call The Midwife fans at beloved star’s ‘last episode’ post from BBC set

CALL The Midwife fans have complained about a beloved star's 'last episode' post from the set.

Laura Main, known for her role as Shelagh Turner posted a behind-the-scenes snap on Instagram.

The star was glammed up in her nursing outfit and a maroon coloured cap. 

She wore pink lipstick and blush on her cheeks as she beamed at the camera.

But fans were not happy as Laura explained it was the 'last episode' of Call The Midwife series 13.

Laura captioned the post on Sunday: “Can’t believe it’s the last episode of Call the Midwife series 13 tonight!

"The last CTM pic I posted was of me looking rather windswept, taken after a day filming at the beach. So I thought I’d share a photo of me looking much more polished and straight out of the make up chair so you can see the usual standard of work by the brilliant @z.a.cmakeup!

Must have been admiring her work myself on this occasion and decided it was a selfie sort of day! Episode 8, the series finale is on BBC One tonight at 8pm.”

Although it was bad news for fans, Laura reassured her followers that there is still going to be 'more made'.

The star penned: "But don’t worry, there is going to be more made! And if you live somewhere that series 13 is yet to be shown, you’ve still got it all to look forward to! Thank you for watching.”

Taking to comments section, one fan wrote: "So sad the season is coming to an end so soon but happy it’s returning again at Christmas. So happy it’s aired in Australia within a few hours after the UK so no having to wait!”

A second added: "Now that’s rubbish news. I wish the series was longer. Seems you just get fully into the swing of it and then it’s all over. More please!” 

A third commented: "I’m absolutely gutted! It feels like it’s only been on five minutes. Me and my mum are the biggest fans, especially my mum as she was brought up in the 60s East End and her mum was a nurse. You are our favourite character because my nan looked like you when she was a nurse."

A fourth wrote: "Can't believe it's coming to an end, but happy to hear there will be more on the way."

A fifth added: "This news is devastating!"

The fifteenth series of Call The Midwife will air in 2026.

It comes after fans of the BBC period drama were left distraught after the death of a beloved character during the season thirteen finale.

It was revealed that Miss Higgins had a son who she gave up for adoption in India after a secret romance with a Hindu man.

The medical secretary was surprised when a stranger showed up at her door, claiming to be her child's wife, revealing her hidden past.

She also discovered that she had a grandson called Harry, who was studying in Liverpool.

The happy reunion turned sour when the grandmother learned that her son had a serious kidney disease.

She had to say goodbye to her son, Victor as he passed away.

Fans were left devastated by the tragic storyline.
