Traitors star Maddy in Call the Midwife Xmas special

- NICOLA METHVEN

BEING a Faithful in The Traitors has finally paid off for an actress, who has a plum role in Call the Midwife at Christmas.

Maddy Smedley, 32, made the penultimate episode of series one of The Traitors and repeatedly, and correctly, identified a Traitor.

But no one believed her in the BBC game show of treachery and trust, and she missed out on the cash prize. Now Maddy has hit the jackpot playing Dilys Shaughnessy in Call the Midwife.

Heavily pregnant. povertystricken Dilys, her husband Pete and their three daughters are evicted from their home as Poplar is gripped by Hong Kong flu.
