Binky Felstead admits she 'freaked out' over post-birth health issue as she details 'not so glamorous' side of pregnancy
Made In Chelsea 's Binky Felstead says a post-birth health issue left her 'freaking out' as she feared she would lose her teeth.
The reality TV star, 35, was diagnosed with gum disease recently, which was beginning to destroy her bones and needed urgent attention.
Binky is a proud mum-of-three and last gave birth in 2023 to a son named Wilder, who is now one.
She also shares son Wolfie, three, with her husband Max Darnton, and an eight-year-old daughter named India with ex Josh 'JP' Patterson.
Following her diagnosis, Binky decided to share her story online with her Instagram followers, to spread awareness with other mums.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: 'I was really worried about it and I actually only learnt through social media. By the way, hundreds of messages I got from other parents, other women, saying they've got the same.
'I think the old wives tale is that you lose a tooth per child. I don't know, I'm freaking out, I'm not going to have a tooth in ten years.'
She added that there's 'lots of not so glamorous things' that happen after giving birth and having children.
Binky said she has started having to do her greys, admitting that 'the good outweighs the bad'.
She said it's 'important' to have these conversations on social media to normalise it, and that the fact it is common made her feel a lot better about it.
Eight years after leaving MIC, Binky says she is 'kind of getting her MOJO back'.
Binky is super relatable online with her fans, and always keeps it real.
In recent days, she made a 'revolting' confession that she hasn't washed her make-up brush in 10 years during a mother-daughter makeover clip.
India can be seen unleashing her creative spark as she layered on the bronzer and lined her mother's lips with a pencil.
In the clip Binky confessed: 'Do you know your godfather, Ollie Locke? This was his makeup brush from about ten years ago and I have never washed it since. How revolting is that and I still use it?'
India appeared unphased by the revelation and continued to layer on the bronzer until the TV personality persuaded her to stop.
Motherhood is a vital part of Binky's life now and along with husband Max she appears to have the perfect fairytale family.
She started dating her husband Max Fredrik Darnton in January 2019 after they met at Soho Farmhouse and the couple later married in September 2021.
