Made In Chelsea’s Binky Felstead and Josh ‘JP’ Patterson reveal baby name and first pictures

Made In Chelsea couple Binky Felstead and Josh ‘JP’ Patterson have unveiled the very first picture of their daughter and revealed the highly anticipated baby name.

The E4 reality stars welcomed their baby girl earlier this month and chose to name her India Elizabeth Felstead-Patterson. The pair have now revealed that little India weighed 7lb 13oz when she was born just before 2pm on June 12 in St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.

Speaking to HELLO! magazine, JP recalled: “I burst into tears when she was born… When you’ve seen your partner give birth you end up feeling emotions for them that you’ve never felt before. I can’t describe how much admiration I have for her for what she’s been through… it’s a new feeling in my heart.”

The celebrity also confessed the birth of baby India has strengthened his relationship with MIC co-star Binky and brought the pair closer than ever.

He said: “Having India has cemented us – even more than we were before. We’re a family now.”

Recalling the day she gave birth, Binky added: “It was a dream labour. There was no screaming or crying and it wasn’t like in a movie. It was all over very quickly.

“She just loves cuddles, and everyone’s saying she looks like Josh but she has both our dark hair.”

The news of the baby’s name came as a surprise after MIC‘s Ryan Libbey recently claimed the couple had ditched the name India.

Ryan told BANG Showbiz: “They did have a name in mind for the baby but then they realised that someone else in the public eye just had a baby called the same name. It was someone from The Only Way is Essex or something like that, I can’t remember but the baby was called India …

“They’ve gone against it purely, because someone’s beat them to it. Which I don’t know, I don’t know if that’s just like reasons why you shouldn’t but …”

Made In Chelsea will return later this year to E4.

Made In Chelsea’s Binky Felstead has given birth

Made In Chelsea star Binky Felstead has given birth.

Binky and Josh ‘JP’ Patterson have welcomed their first child after announcing via social media last night that their baby girl has arrived.

A spokesperson also confirmed the news to Hello!, saying: “Baby was born earlier today. Mother and baby doing well.”

The reality stars have always had an on-off relationship on MIC, but it sounds as though the baby has brought them closer together and their relationship has seemed stronger than ever on the most recent series of the E4 programme.

JP recently said: “When this first started out, we weren’t together. We came to the conclusion that we weren’t going to just automatically get back together just for the child. It had to be right for us.

“But it happens organically when you are suddenly spending more time together. And so now I’d say that, yes, we are back together …

“We are beyond the boyfriend and girlfriend thing. A lot of people automatically thought that the baby could be a bad thing for our relationship, and that if we got together again it was just for the baby. But we have always loved each other. The love was never gone.”

Made In Chelsea will return soon to E4.

Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson and Tiffany Watson confirm split

Made In Chelsea couple Sam Thompson and Tiffany Watson will be taking a break from their relationship this summer.

Sam and Tiff’s relationship was definitely under a lot of strain in the last series of MIC, with the finale episode airing last night (Monday, May 29). The pair had already split a number of times following cheating allegations and recently attended couples’ therapy to try and sort out their issues.

Now, the pair have decided to temporarily break things off in order to give one another some breathing space. Speaking on the Made In Chelsea: End of Season party, Sam told host Rick Edwards: “We’re kind of going on a summer break.”

When asked if they were still in a relationship, Tiff explained: “We are together at the moment, but we’ve scheduled in a break.”

The duo plan to split after their upcoming romantic holiday together, although they both insisted the break-up will not be permanent.

“I want to marry Tiff, I know I’m going to have kids with her. I’m just very aware of how young I am,” Sam said.

Tiff added: “I want to go on holiday with my friends, I want to do my own thing for a bit.”

The two have even agreed they are allowed to get with other people once their scheduled break begins. However, Tiff has laid down firm ground rules about who is off limits.

She said: “Friends are obviously [banned].

“If I found out Sam got with Olivia [Bentley] I wouldn’t be best pleased. If it’s a random girl in Ibiza, I wouldn’t care.”

Sam’s sister Louise Thompson supported the decision and said the temporary break was “very brave”.

“I think they are very brave, but they’ve had a lot of time to think about this decision,” she confessed.

“I obviously live with Sam, I spend a lot of time with Tiff. We’ve become so close.”

Made In Chelsea will return later this year to E4.

Binky Felstead announces she has quit Made In Chelsea

Made In Chelsea original Binky Felstead has announced her departure from the E4 series.

Long-term Made In Chelsea fans will be shedding a tear this morning after show favourite Binky confirmed she will not be returning for the next series. The star has stuck with MIC ever since the show first launched in 2011 and has been at the centre of some of the programme’s biggest storylines, including her relationship dramas with Josh ‘JP’ Patterson and, more recently, her pregnancy with his baby.

However, Binky explained how her time on the reality show has come to a “natural end” in an Instagram post last night.

Before the series finale aired at 9pm, Binky shared a nostalgic collage of MIC photos alongside the caption: “Was quite an emotional episode for me as this is my last full series filming after a magical 6 years.

So guys it’s the season finale of #madeinchelsea tonight at 9!!!! Was quite an emotional episode for me as this is my last full series filming after a magical 6 years.

However, it’s not goodbye just yet as we get to watch Binky in her own MIC spin-off show Monkey, which will air on E4. The two-part series will follow the star and her boyfriend JP around as they prepare for labour and parenthood.

Made In Chelsea will return later this year to E4.

Made In Chelsea’s Binky Felstead and Josh ‘JP’ Patterson land their own parenting show

Binky Felstead and Josh ‘JP’ Patterson are set to star in their own two-episode Made In Chelsea spin-off show, documenting their baby’s arrival.

We’ve all been waiting for the arrival of the first ever MIC baby and now fans will experience a proper insight into the last stages of Binky’s pregnancy. The couple have landed their own two-episode show in which cameras will follow Binky and JP as they prepare for labour and parenthood.

However, the reality stars have clarified that they do not wish to “overexpose” their child and so we won’t be seeing the actual birth of the baby.

Binky said: “There won’t be cameras in the delivery suite. We don’t want to overexpose the baby.”

Speaking to The Sun, a source revealed: “Binky’s pregnancy came like a bolt from the blue for Made In Chelsea fans and they’ve been desperate for more info ever since.

“A whole show dedicated to her and JP’s journey is bound to be a hit.

“She’s had to take a backseat to the rows and romances during the latest series of Made In Chelsea, but the spinoff will see cameras right by her side, capturing all the magical moments and hardships of this new stage in her life.”

Apparently, Binky is also hoping that her E4 co-stars won’t be envious of her new starring role. The insider continued: “This is truly a Made In Chelsea first – no single cast member has ever anchored their own show.

“She’ll be keeping her fingers crossed that her co-stars are happy for her and not jealous.”

Meanwhile, best pal Ollie Locke recently revealed Binky and JP have already named their unborn baby girl. He confessed: “I think she is going to go mid-range. She’ll do classic. I do actually know the baby’s name. I even know the middle names. When she was seven weeks pregnant she came round to my flat for a drink and she gave me the baby scan. I burst into tears.”

Made In Chelsea continues Monday at 9pm on E4.

Made In Chelsea spoilers: Frankie forces Liv to choose between her and new girl Tina

It all gets rather emotional on Made In Chelsea tonight, as Olivia Bentley is forced to choose between her two best friends.

At least it’s not all doom and gloom in Chelsea, as Binky Felstead and Josh ‘JP’ Patterson seem pretty loved up with their new baby on the way.

“I love you very much,” JP tells her in the episode this evening, while Stephanie Pratt observes, “You guys are totally together and in love.”

Aww. But enough of the lovey dovey stuff. Where’s the drama at?

Well, after it was revealed that she might still have feelings for her ex Harry Baron, Ella Willis desperately tries to win back the affection of Julius Cowdrey. However, it looks like Harry is going to do whatever he can to prevent this new romance from blossoming.

Meanwhile, Frankie Gaff is still livid after her run-in with new girl Tina Stinnes last week and now she is directing all her anger in a different direction. In disbelief that Liv would hang out with the girl Jamie Laing was “inappropriate” with, Frankie gives her friend an ultimatum: to choose either her or Tina.

“I genuinely do feel like you haven’t been there for me,” Frankie tells a tearful Liv.

Liv later snaps back: “I’m annoyed, I feel like you’re telling me I can either be friends with Tina or I can be friends with you.”

Finally, engagement rumours begin to spread amongst the MIC gang after Louise Thompson discovers a mystery jewellery box…

Made In Chelsea continues tonight (Monday) at 9pm on E4.
