Victoria played the role of Sister Winifred from series 3 to series 8 (the Christmas special). Unlike many of the other midwifes, she expressed that she didn't find joy in delivering babies and found it difficult to help people through labour, often saying the wrong thing.

Why did Victoria Yeates leave Call The Midwife?

It was during the 2018 Call The Midwife Christmas Special that Victoria Yeates' character Sister Winifred decided to leave Nonnatus House and return to the Mother House to look after orphaned children.

However, Victoria herself quit the show in order to film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, where she took on the role of former Hogwarts pupil Bunty (the assistant to Eddie Redmayne's Newton Scamander).

In an interview with Radio Times, she spoke fondly of her time in the show: "I have absolutely adored my time on Call the Midwife and leave having made some of my best friends on the show," Yeates said. "I have been incredibly lucky to have worked with some of the best actresses and actors in the business."
