She said: “With India I was the first of my friends to get pregnant at 26 and I literally didn’t know or knew anyone in the same position so I lost a lot of friends.

She added, “Hopefully it will help a lot of people… there are some sad bits in it too. I cried a few times.

“It’s been a form of therapy and I feel like I still have to process a lot of things that have happened over the past few years. It was pretty hardcore.

She said: “India is five and in school now which means she can communicate and help, she loves helping Wolfie and there is no jealousy at all.

“I was born to be a mom and I absolutely love it. Yes, it gets stressful and discouraging, but I deal with it and get along with it and always ask for help when I need it.

“Since it’s another boy, this one and Wolfie will be able to jam together and play football in the garden for hours and hours and India is still my little princess and we’re going to have two massive bodyguards in a few years because they will be mighty like their father.’

As well as becoming a mom for the third time next year, Binky teased that she will be involved in a new TV project she is working on with close friend Ollie Locke, 35.

They haven’t been on screen together since Binky left Made In Chelsea when she became pregnant with India, but her fans are dying to see them film a spinoff together.

While Ollie is still a regular cast member of the hit E4 show, which filmed its upcoming series in Bali, Binky says she doesn’t miss being a part of the action and she can’t even bear being away from home from watching.

She said: “I loved my time on the show and I’ve done a good 10-year stint, but the anxiety, the stress, everything that comes with it, I couldn’t think about that.

“If I were to do something like that again, they would have to take into account that we are now adults with a real life and responsibilities. It was the most amazing time growing up and being in the position I am today.

“I’ve always had so much love and respect for the producers and cinematographers that they were like a second family, but it’s changed a lot since filming and I don’t watch it anymore. I just can not. It’s not the same show as when we were on it.’

They’ve teamed up with Three+ this month, who are offering Caffe Nero customers a coffee for just £1 via their rewards app.

Binky teased: “We can’t confirm what it is just yet, but it’s definitely something we’ve been asked for for a couple of years and since I stopped filming the show five years ago.

“I stopped filming when I was pregnant with India and she’s five now. I do little things occasionally which is always fun but with almost three kids I couldn’t handle the hours or days of shooting or the stress but what’s to come will be fun for people to witness.’

Ollie added: “Me and Binks are terrible at making coffee. If you download the Three+ app, which is available on pay-as-you-go or by contract, and if you’re a mess at making coffee like us, you can get them for £1 including their celebratory drinks, which is lovely.
