Made in Chelsea star pregnant with second child after miscarriage tragedy

Made in Chelsea star Binky Felstead has announced that she's expecting her second child.

Reality TV star Binky, 30, has revealed her pregnancy joy to her Instagram followers and spoke of her delight over her three-year-old daughter India becoming a proud big sister.

Binky shared a cute snap of herself and her fiance Max Darnton with a smiling India holding their baby scan.

She told her 1.4million followers: "Big sister alert! We are so thankful and excited that our family will be growing in 2021! India gets her new title of 'Big Sister'... which she's already very proud of.

"2020 has been a real personal rollercoaster with some huge ups and some lows.

"We are so excited, happy and thankful for what is to come.

"Here's to 2021."

In October Binky, whose real name is Alexandra, opened up about a tragic miscarriage when she was 12 weeks pregnant.

She decided to share the upsetting news in case she could "pass on any warmth, comfort or help to anybody in the same position".

Binky wrote: "Today would have been my 18 week mark, but sadly we had an early miscarriage just before 12 weeks.

"Not only was this heartbreaking for us, but it also came as such a shock to me."

Binky explained that sghe hadn’t realised until then how 'blessed' she was with having a relatively straight forward pregnancy with India.

"I’ll admit I was naive enough to assume the next one would be as straightforward, but I had two early scans as I was concerned I was bleeding," she wrote on her Instagram.

"They found a 'very strong' heartbeat. However, on the third scan I was told ‘I’m afraid there’s no heartbeat’."
