Last month, Binky admitted she wouldn't be with Max if 'marriage wasn't in the plan', but insisted she didn't 'mind' when the couple decide to tie the knot.

The media personality, who shares daughter India with ex Josh Patterson, discussed her romance in an interview with Hello!.

The TV star said: '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.'

The brunette previously spent lockdown in the countryside with her daughter and partner, who is managing director at a global executive search and consulting firm.

The reality star recently admitted their relationship is so serious that she and Max have already discussed having children in the not too distant future.

She told MailOnline in an interview earlier this year: 'I think you always want what you are one of. I am one of three, so I've always had three in my head – girl, boy, girl.'

Asked whether she could see this happening with Max, Binky replied: 'I wouldn’t be mentioning it [my relationship with Max] if I didn't think it had any legs. He is really great. I am very happy.'
