Pregnant Binky Felstead reveals she has been struck down by a brutal vomiting bug

Binky Felstead has been struck by a brutal vomiting virus – just days after she announced her pregnancy.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, told her Instagram followers that she felt “like I was going to get sick all the time” and struggled to keep her eyes open for more than two minutes.

The mother of two was initially confused as to whether she was suffering from morning sickness or a virus after falling ill on Monday.

She wrote on her Instagram story, “Trying to find out if it’s morning sickness or a bug because I also have a really upset tummy and feel like I’m going to be sick all the time!”

Alongside a photo of a pack of anti-disease candies, Binky added, “For those who say they are in this together, my boyfriend bought me these and they seem to reduce the feeling of nausea.”

Binky then took to Instagram to share an image of a slice of toast and tell her followers that she was hopefully “through the worst” of her illness.

She wrote: ‘I managed to get down for the first time since yesterday morning! 8.30am this all started, able to keep my eyes open for over two minutes now without wanting to be sick!

“Hopefully this is now coming to an end…many of you say it’s a matter of 12 hours – others say it’s a matter of a week. Hopefully I’m through the worst! That was not fun. Still not 100 percent, I’m going to take it easy today.’

Binky announced her third pregnancy in an Instagram post shared with followers on Sunday morning.

The star posted a video of herself and businessman husband Max Darnton revealing the unborn child’s first ultrasound while they were out with their blended family.

Binky is already a parent to son Wolfie, 17 months, with Max, as well as daughter India, five, with her ex-boyfriend and former TV co-star, Josh ‘JP’ Patterson.

She shared a sweet family video with her 1.4 million followers, writing: ‘Imagine you’re approaching the ‘oh so quiet’ phase again…. Taurus baby comes in warm’

Binky revealed the joyous news on social media, revealing that the baby will be a Taurus – meaning the due date will be between approximately April 20 and May 20 next year.

The announcement came in the form of a forest video, featuring Binky, Max, India and Wolfie, with hit Bjork song Oh So Quiet in the background.

The former reality star was filmed walking hand in hand with her children through the leafy park as they enjoyed a day out.

Max handed his stepdaughter India a rainbow gift bag during the walk, with the youngster opening it to find a series of ultrasound pictures of her new sibling.

A delighted Binky leaned over and beamed at her daughter, who then jumped for joy as she held the photos.

Max simply wrote festive emojis on his wife’s post, while reposting the video to his own Instagram page, writing, “Can’t wait.”

Binky and Max’s baby news comes three and a half months after the couple tied the knot at a three-day party in Corfu, surrounded by their friends and family.

The announcement mirrored that of Binky’s latest pregnancy reveal in 2020, when she told followers she was expecting Wolfie.

At the time, she shared the news by having India hold up a row of ultrasound photos – in the same way the youngster did before this announcement.

Binky then welcomed Wolfie, her first child with Max, in June 2021 and shared the new arrival with a sweet photo of the trio from the hospital.

The TV Personality born in India in June 2017, but a little over a year later, in September 2018, separated from ex Josh, arguing it was “unfair” for India to stay together.

Binky found love with Max again and the couple announced they got engaged in September 2020 after dating for 19 months.

Spontaneously talking about the proposal via Instagram, which took place after he asked her daughter for permission to ask the question, she wrote, “Easiest ‘Yes’ EVER!”

Max posed the question in a picturesque field in the English countryside.

The pair have been going strong since meeting at separate parties at the private members club Soho Farmhouse in January 2019.
