The former Made in Chelsea star, mother to three-year-old daughter India, says of the prospect of marrying her beau of 18 months, Max Fredrik Darnton: "I wouldn't be with him if that wasn't in the plan. I've always wanted to get married, but I never minded when. I've never been one of those girls who have their picture-perfect wedding in their head and know what ring they want, but it would be nice to have that one day."

"Obviously, with me having India, I was very wary and he wanted to let me know that he wasn't just going to turn around and go. He was committed. I guess when you know, you know, don't you?"

As she unveils the complete renovation of their south-west London house in HELLO!, Binky - who has overseen most of the work - says, "Max learnt to stay out of the way! He loves what we've done, thank goodness, but I think it's best that he did his thing and I did my thing. We had designers working with us so it's not like he's left me on my own to it."

And she added that the couple would next like to get their own place in the country.
"We have a five-year plan where we'd love to get a place in the country," Binky says. "We want to get a big house where friends can come and stay at weekends and I want that big open-plan kitchen with an Aga with ducks and chickens running around – a bit like The Darling Buds of May."
