Binky Felstead has confirmed she will be starring in a new Made In Chelsea spin-off show with close friends Louise Thompson and Rosie Fortescue.
The E4 favourite, 33, revealed she is in advance talks with TV bosses about filming a fly on the wall series focused on her life now she’s a married mother-of-three and the friendships she shares with her former co-stars.
She was one of the original cast members when the show launched in 2011 but Binky left the programme after six years following the birth of her first daughter, India, who she shares with her ex-co-star Josh Patterson.
The premise of the new series will follow the South West London set now they’re in their 30s and have moved away from love triangles and partying at Raffles nightclub, with Binky open to sharing the highs and lows of motherhood.
Binky told MailOnline: ‘We have started discussing doing something new… It will be a show about ‘what happened next?’ or the ‘mummies of Chelsea’ type of thing.’

She explained: ‘I have spoken to a few people and they have all said yes so far…
‘I always get asked “is there going to be an OG reunion?” and people saying they would like to see the old cast back together.
‘Me, Louise and Rosie and still super close, we always make time for each other for our girly lunches and dinners. We’re like family.
‘We have filmed the ups and downs of our lives together for the past decade and when we get together, if the walls could talk…
‘I will not be returning to Made In Chelsea because my life is obviously completely different now, I’m a wife and I have three children and businesses, but we are in talks about doing something completely new.’
Binky married her husband Max in 2021 and the couple share children Wilder, two, and nine-month-old Wolfie together.
And the TV star is already considering having a fourth child, saying becoming a mother for the first time at 26 was both the hardest part of her life but also the most fulfilling, and she has always longed for a big family.
She said: ‘I feel like the new show would be a really interesting concept because I’m not interested in talking about who is cheating on who, we all have our own exciting and different lives going on… but not all of it will be happy all of the time.
Binky is no longer the only mother in her friendship group after Louise welcomed son Leo with fiancé Ryan Libbey in 2021
Binky is a mother to three children, daughter India from her romance with former MIC co-star Josh Patterson, as well as sons Wilder and Wolfie, who she shares with husband Max
‘I got pregnant at 26 which was a huge surprise, and I had no friends who were having babies… I did a lot of growing up.
‘From expecting my first baby to being a single mum and finding my feet… it was a really hard time.
‘But my whole life I have always wanted to be a mummy and v=onepage&q=red%20boost&f=false it’s everything.
‘There is definitely potential for one more child later down the line… Max and I would like another one if we were lucky enough to get pregnant again.
‘I have always loved the thought of having a huge family.’
Binky admits she isn’t sure about how much her children will feature on the new series and it’s a discussion she is yet to have with her husband.
But she hopes to be transparent about the difficulties of motherhood such as loneliness and feeling like you have lost your identity while also sharing an insight to her entrepreneurial side.
She said: ‘I don’t know about my children… I don’t think they will be the main focus of the show. I need to think about that further. It’s a discussion that Max and I would need to have.
‘Being a mum is incredible but I do often think ‘what am I supposed to be doing?’ and I feel it is important to have other things going on if you can. It can be really isolating.
‘After the baby is born and once everyone has come over with flowers and cakes, you’re stuck with a screaming baby, you’re knackered, hormonal, and your identity has completely gone and you think what the F do I do now?’
Binky was approached to star in the Chelsea series alongside the likes of Millie Mackintosh and Francesca Hull when she was 19 (pictured in 2011)
Since leaving Made In Chelsea, Binky has achieved a number of goals including publishing her book The Making of You and launching multiple businesses.
She owns pre and postnatal app Bloss, which is a platform that gives users the opportunity to ask questions and receive help from a professional within 24 hours of submitting their concerns.
Binky has also teamed up with husband Max on low and no caffeine coffee brand Nolo, which she teases is set for big things both in the UK and overseas.
She said: ‘I have Bloss, which is a pre and postnatal app, you can type in any question on our platform and get an expert answering your question within 24 hours.
‘A lot of people go to Google and type in their symptoms and panic but this is a safe space and has loads of free advice, we are looking to expand as well.
‘I also have Nolo with my husband, which is low and no caffeine coffee, and it is pretty new but we have had some exciting feedback here, in Europe and America.’
