Binky Felstead has admitted that it was her mum Jane who broke the news that she was pregnant to on-off boyfriend Josh 'JP' Patterson. The couple opened up to HELLO! about the moment Binky, 26, discovered she was expecting her first baby, with Jane revealing she was with Binky when she took the pregnancy test, and immediately sent a message to JP, who was filming a scene for Made in Chelsea at the time.

"I was at her house within ten minutes and we just hugged," JP said. "No matter what our differences were, the most important thing for me that day was her, because I knew however I was feeling she was probably feeling it ten times worse. Irrelevant of what had gone on in the past, or what had been said, it all went out of the window."

The pair also revealed that they are working on their relationship, step by step. "We're not dating anyone else," the Made in Chelsea star said. "We go on dates and hang out. It would be silly for us to rush back into anything, but we want to focus on the future now rather than the past."

JP agreed. "We love each other a great deal and there's no pressure," he said. "But you do have to take the past into consideration, where there have been a few hiccups. We're just taking it very easy."

Since announcing her pregnancy, Binky has shared a handful of baby bump photos on Instagram, and even shared a sweet image capturing the moment she told her Made in Chelsea co-stars Rosie Fortescue, Louise Thompson and Stephanie Pratt. "So I told my girls last night for the first time (ovs before the news broke) whilst filming for the new series," Binky wrote.
