A brand new clip from this weekend’s episode of Call the Midwife teases a playful storyline for fan-favourite Nurse Trixie, who decides to host a dinner party in order to put her cooking skills to the test.
Determined to improve her culinary ability, Trixie soon discovers she may have bitten off more than she can chew, with the advance clip seeing her caked in flour as she attempts to piece together a delicious dessert.
The stress is so great that she even threatens to attack a meddling Matthew (Olly Rix), although he notes that her choice of weapon – a piping bag – is hardly life-threatening.
“I wouldn’t be so sure,” she counters.

As always, this week’s Call the Midwife will balance light-hearted hijinks – such as this chaotic cookery session – with more serious storylines relating to the patients and medical staff of the close-knit Poplar community.
The synopsis for Call the Midwife season 12 episode 3 reads: “As a health visitor, Sister Veronica calls on a single mother who is celebrating her recent marriage, only to discover a terrible truth about the seemingly happy relationship.”
Sister Veronica is the latest addition to the Call the Midwife cast, who will “ruffle feathers” in season 12 according to actor Rebecca Gethings.
The synopsis continues: “Nancy asks for additional shifts so she can afford more presents for Colette, but comes to realise her spending is getting out of hand… and a family secret comes to light when a patient’s baby develops a life-threatening condition.”
