Binky Felstead engaged as beau Max pops the question with huge diamond ring

Binky Felstead is engaged!

The Made In Chelsea star, 30, said yes to beau Max Fredrik Darnton when he popped the question with a huge diamond ring.

Revealing the news on Instagram, she wrote: "The easiest ‘Yes’ EVER!

"On Friday morning, on their way to the duck pond, Max asked India for her permission to ask her mummy to marry him.

"I love you Max- you bring out the best in me. Im so lucky"

Binky proudly showed off her new piece of jewellery as she planted a passionate kiss on Max's lips.

In another picture, she showed a close-up view of the ring, which was adorned with a number of stones.

It's sure to have set Max back quite a bit, but clearly his investment has already paid off.

The star's fans and famous friends rushed to offer their congratulations.

One posted: "Oh my goodness this is the best news ever!!"

While another wrote: "Love the ring. Congratulations to you both"

Binky, whose real name is Alexandra, said it was a stranger on the internet who helped her find love with Max following her split from co-star Joshua 'JP' Patterson, the father of her daughter India, three.

She told  Women's Health  magazine: "This girl [on Instagram] said, 'I think it's absolutely incredible what you're doing, bringing up your little girl, and I just want to let you know that I've been a single mum for two years now and I've turned away any opportunity to meet anyone because of my daughter.

"'And all I can say now is that she's growing up, she doesn't need me as much any more and I'm still single and quite lonely.

"'So, please make sure you're not giving up the chance to meet someone or bring yourself happiness'."

Binky took the advice and found love with Max.

She said: "Hopefully, there are more babies in the future and, you know, [I'm] looking at places in the country to have weekends, that's the type of thing I want in my future - my childhood, basically.

"I had the most amazing childhood - ducks, chickens running around in the kitchen, goats in the garden."
