It's no secret that Binky Felstead is one of our favourite Made in Chelsea stars of all time. Honestly, we are always so excited when she pops in on Kings Road.

Binky originally left the show in 2017 to focus on her daughter India who she shares with her ex-partner Josh Patterson. Since is now married to Max Fredrik Darnton (the pair met while attending separate parties at Soho Farmhouse) and the couple have had two sons together, Wolfie and Wilder.

Now, fans are thrilled to catch up with Binky again as she's one of the three Made in Chelsea originals to star in Beyond Chelsea. The Made in Chelsea spin-off follows Binky, Rosie Fortescue and Lucy Watson, who left the original show almost ten years ago, as they navigate their 30s.

What is Binky short for?

Her parents nicknamed her Binky when she was a baby and, like the best nicknames, it kinda stuck. Her real name is Alexandra Elizabeth Felstead.

How old is Binky Felstead?

Binky was born on 14 June 1990 meaning she is 34 years of age.

What is Binky Felstead's net worth?

She is reported to be worth around 1.4 million pounds which is a lot more than me, now you've brought it up. Of course, Binky, one of the longest standing MIC stars, is worth a zillion pounds to us, because she's so god damn great. Actually, scrap that. She's priceless.

Who are Binky's parents? What do they do?

Binky’s mum Jane is perhaps better known as ‘Mummy Felstead,’ formerly a regular on the show who’d always pop up to dish out stellar dating advice over brunch while wearing cosy-looking cashmere knits (which, as it happens, is exactly what we see ourselves doing in a few decades time).

At the age of 65, Jane got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, having first experienced symptoms when she was 30. Binky and Jane discuss how it has changed their lives and their relationship on Beyond Chelsea.

What was her upbringing like?

Very nice actually. She has great tales to tell about her adventures in East Sussex, including pony clubs, ski holidays and food fights. Don’t for a second think she is spoilt though, chaps. Binks poignantly said in an interview, 'I wanted to point out to the public that the perception of us all being posh brats is absolutely wrong. I've had a lovely upbringing, agreed, but I'm very grateful for everything I've had. I believe I'm a grounded person and enjoy working and making my own money. I can do what I want with it.’ So there you have it.

Does Binky have children?

Yesssss, indeed she does! Binky has a daughter called India with JP, and two sons called Wolfie and Wilder with her husband Max. She is also the co-founder of parenting expert blog Bloss.Life.

Binky is open about her motherhood journey and life with three kids on Beyond Chelsea. You can keep up with her busy lifestyle on Instagram, where she posts lots of adorable pictures of her three little ones.

Who is Binky's husband?

Binky is married to businessman Max Fredrik Darnton. They got engaged in September 2020 - with Max asking Binky's daughter for permission to marry her. Aw! The couple tied the knot in August the following year.

Naturally, they had a lavish wedding in Corfu. In fact, it was a week long celebration with their friends and family and it looked just about as immaculate as it sounds.

While Max didn't ever feature on Made in Chelsea, he did pop up a few times during Beyond Chelsea. He is the founder of a global retained search and advisory company called Fredriks. From a little digging, it sounds like they are recruiters for private capital firms.

Does Binky have siblings?

Binky has an older sister Anna-Louise who is an artist formerly based in New York. You may remember she appeared on Made in Chelsea NYC and she was great. Binky also has an older brother called Oliver who has yet to appear on the E4 spin-off.

Does Binky have her own book?

She does indeed! Binks penned her own autobiography called ‘Being Binky: My Life in Chelsea’, which includes essential advice such as er... ‘Red Carpet Posing Tips’ because… yanno… we are always on that red carpet, with no clue which way to tilt our head… Oh how the other half live.

What was her upbringing like?

Very nice actually. She has great tales to tell about her adventures in East Sussex, including pony clubs, ski holidays and food fights. Don’t for a second think she is spoilt though, chaps. Binks poignantly said in an interview, 'I wanted to point out to the public that the perception of us all being posh brats is absolutely wrong. I've had a lovely upbringing, agreed, but I'm very grateful for everything I've had. I believe I'm a grounded person and enjoy working and making my own money. I can do what I want with it.’ So there you have it.

Where does Binky Felstead live?

It's not really our business, but we can only assume Chelsea daahling.

Does Binky have Instagram?
