They just don't make Made in Chelsea cast members like they used to, do they? No offence to show newbies like Sam Vanderpump and Julia Pollard, but we can't help but miss those dramatic OGs.
One such OG was Binky Felstead. She was part of the first ever bunch of SW3 recruits and was also a much-loved cast member. Although adored by fans, Binky had a tough time during her MIC stint and was often left heartbroken by her ex-boyfriend Alex Mytton.
Remember when he wronged her again and again during series seven as he kept cheating on her, and even 'had an orgy' with Spencer Matthews? No? We wish we could forget.
Anyway, fast forward to 2024 and Binky is happily married with three children and, although her life looks very different than it did thirteen years ago when she made her TV debut, Binky is returning to reality TV once again.
