Baring her bump in a billowing green gown, Binky Felstead is thriving in her final trimester. The former Made In Chelsea star will soon give birth to her third child on the Lindo Wing at London’s St Mary’s Hospital, famous for its royal births.
She has already picked the date and doctor – Tom Setchell. His father, Sir Marcus Setchell, delivered Binky and her siblings, and he was also Queen Elizabeth II’s gynaecologist, delaying retirement to safely deliver her great-grandson, Prince George.
“That’s quite cool, isn’t it?” says Binky, 32, while sipping coffee at our west London cover shoot. “Tom has delivered both my children. I’m terrified of pain and like to be organised, so I’ve planned everything as much as I can. I’ve booked my induction like I did with the other two, and my husband Max has already secured his parking space. I feel safe and secure in what I’m doing and just pray it goes that way, although I saw a spiritualist who said he’ll come two weeks early!”
Binky’s part autobiographical, part self-help book, The Making Of You: A Guide To Finding Your Identity And Bossing Motherhood, has just been published, featuring support and advice from experts.
She was once famed for her glamorous lifestyle full of friendship dramas and relationship struggles on E4’s Made In Chelsea, but left the show in 2017 to focus on her daughter India, now five.
She found strength and self-worth from being a single mother in ways she’d never experienced, following years of being bullied as a child and living through her parents’ difficult divorce.
