British television has a new name for audiences to watch: Francesca Fullilove. This energetic twelve-year-old has now been recognised for a second year running by the TV Times Awards, with a nomination for Favourite Young Actor (Under 18) in 2025.
Francesca’s breakout turn on “Call the Midwife” has not only enchanted dedicated fans of the long-running BBC drama but also placed her front and centre within the UK’s pool of emerging talent. Her engaging screen presence and the effortless chemistry she shares with seasoned co-stars like Helen George and Cliff Parisi have made her a standout amongst a crowded shortlist.
Local press and media from her hometown in Surrey have championed Francesca’s achievements, highlighting her infectious enthusiasm both on and off set. Her life beyond acting is just as colourful, filled with dance, culinary adventures, and the simple joys of spending time with family—attributes that add to her relatability and appeal.
Her track record already includes memorable appearances beyond episodic television, and her proactive approach to her online presence (@francescafullilove) is further building her reputation among fans and industry figures. Despite not taking home the TV Times Award in 2025, Francesca’s consecutive nominations prove her journey is only beginning.
