Tom Goodman-Hill was still married when he started a relationship with Jessica Raine As prim and proper midwife Jenny Lee, she spends her days dealing with her patients’  family dramas. But off-screen, it seems actress Jessica Raine has plenty of her own complications to deal with. The Daily Mail can reveal that the Call The Midwife star met her partner, actor Tom Goodman-Hill, while he was apparently happily married. Months later the 44-year-old suddenly left his wife and two children, before embarking on a relationship and later setting up home with Miss Raine, 30. In fact, he had already arranged and sent out invitations for a surprise 40th birthday party for his wife, Kerry Bradley, when he dramatically cancelled everything and announced their 20-year relationship was over.
