Artist: Francesca Fullilove
Serie: Call the Midwife
Francesca Fullilove, the young breakout talent from Call the Midwife, was nominated for Favourite Young Actor (Under 18) at the TV Times Awards 2025, marking her second consecutive year being recognised by one of the UK’s leading television awards.
At just 12 years old, Francesca has already become one of the most promising young actors on British television. Her warm, expressive performance in the long-running BBC drama has charmed both audiences and cast alike, earning her a growing fan base and recognition across the industry.
The 2025 TV Times shortlist featured standout rising talent from series including Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, and Adolescence. Francesca appeared alongside ten of the UK’s most exciting young performers, reaffirming her place as a name to watch in the coming years.
A Rapidly Rising Career
Francesca’s acting journey began early, with standout roles including appearances in Call the Midwife—where she has worked with household names such as Megan Cusack, Jenny Agutter, Judy Parfitt, Cliff Parisi, Helen George, Miriam Margolyes, Stephen McGann, and Laura Main.
She also appeared in a well-loved Petit Filous commercial with her younger brother, further cementing her on-screen versatility.
Away from filming, Francesca leads a vibrant life filled with dance (modern and street), baking, shopping, and spending time with her family in Epsom, Surrey. With Italian heritage on her mother’s side and a warm, grounded upbringing, she brings a relatable charm to her growing public profile.
National Attention Beyond Local Press
While Francesca has already received strong media coverage across Surrey—thanks to her impressive back-to-back nominations—her team is now looking toward broader national and entertainment platforms as her career continues to develop.
Her recent features include:
- Your Local Guardian
- Surrey Comet
- TresA Magazine
- Radio St Helier (Desert-Island-Disc style interview)
As her visibility grows, Francesca hopes to build connections within the wider entertainment industry, expand her Instagram presence (@francescafullilove), and reach audiences who resonate with authentic, emerging talent.
A Bright Future Ahead
Francesca’s second TV Times nomination underscores her dedication, natural screen presence, and clear passion for acting. With continued industry recognition and a strong support network behind her, she’s poised for an exciting year ahead—including new opportunities both on-screen and in media.
