Binky Felstead admits she 'freaked out' over post-birth health issue as she details 'not so glamorous' side of pregnancy
The reality TV star, 35, was diagnosed with gum disease recently, which was beginning to destroy her bones and needed urgent attention.
Binky is a proud mum-of-three and last gave birth in 2023 to a son named Wilder, who is now one.
She also shares son Wolfie, three, with her husband Max Darnton, and an eight-year-old daughter named India with ex Josh 'JP' Patterson.
Following her diagnosis, Binky decided to share her story online with her Instagram followers, to spread awareness with other mums.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: 'I was really worried about it and I actually only learnt through social media. By the way, hundreds of messages I got from other parents, other women, saying they've got the same.
'I think the old wives tale is that you lose a tooth per child. I don't know, I'm freaking out, I'm not going to have a tooth in ten years.'
She added that there's 'lots of not so glamorous things' that happen after giving birth and having children.
Binky said she has started having to do her greys, admitting that 'the good outweighs the bad'.
She said it's 'important' to have these conversations on social media to normalise it, and that the fact it is common made her feel a lot better about it.
Eight years after leaving MIC, Binky says she is 'kind of getting her MOJO back'.
Binky is super relatable online with her fans, and always keeps it real.
In recent days, she made a 'revolting' confession that she hasn't washed her make-up brush in 10 years during a mother-daughter makeover clip.
India can be seen unleashing her creative spark as she layered on the bronzer and lined her mother's lips with a pencil.
In the clip Binky confessed: 'Do you know your godfather, Ollie Locke? This was his makeup brush from about ten years ago and I have never washed it since. How revolting is that and I still use it?'
India appeared unphased by the revelation and continued to layer on the bronzer until the TV personality persuaded her to stop.
Motherhood is a vital part of Binky's life now and along with husband Max she appears to have the perfect fairytale family.
She started dating her husband Max Fredrik Darnton in January 2019 after they met at Soho Farmhouse and the couple later married in September 2021.

Princess Andre says she 'wishes she had a happier childhood' and opens up about 'dark times' after Katie Price and Pete's divorce for the first time ever in unflinching new ITV reality show
Princess Andre has revealed she 'wished she had a happier childhood' as she opened up about the 'dark times' she faced after Katie Price 's split from Peter Andre. The rising star, 18, has landed her very own ITV2 reality show as Princess becomes a celebrity in her own right. Cameras have followed her around as she makes waves in the highly lucrative influencer world, having already signed big-money deals with brands such as Morphe and Superdrug. In her new fly-on-the-wall series, titled The Princess Diaries, the teenager addresses the traumatic memories from her glamour model mum's divorce from Mysterious Girl singer Pete and her other breakups. She candidly admitted: 'I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then. 'But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes. The rising star, 18, has landed her very own ITV2 reality show as Princess becomes a celebrity in her own right - though mum Katie will not make an appearance 'I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood. In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age.' Princess said she wishes sometimes that she 'wasn't like that' and not had things lingering at the back of her mind at such a young age. While acknowledging the 'good times' in her childhood, she opened up about Katie's bitter split from ex Kieran Hayler when she was just 10 years old. Katie was married to Kieran for eight years but their relationship was tainted by accusations of infidelity. They wed in 2013, before renewing their vows three years later in Barbados during a 'make or break' holiday and divorced in 2021. Princess explained how 'everything kind of went downhill' as she and her siblings got 'really close to him and loved him'. She said: 'My mum, obviously being heartbroken, didn't deal with that in the best way, she went through a very, very dark time, which is understandable. 'Which is hard for me because I was around adulty things that kids should never see and I think as well, when we needed our mum there, she wasn't emotionally able to be there because she had so much of her own problems going on.' In her new fly-on-the-wall series, titled The Princess Diaries, the teenager addresses the traumatic memories from her glamour model mum's divorce from Mysterious Girl singer Pete and her other breakups Fans will see Princess admit she would regularly arrive home from school and 'get into bed and cry'. While Princess is close with her dad, she admitted she would never speak to him about her troubles as she has 'always grown up knowing 'my mum and dad don't like each other'. She concluded: 'I wouldn't say I'm fully, fully recovered from it but mum is such a different person and if you put her now to back then, she's genuinely really fixed herself.' Daily Mail previously revealed how Katie, 47, will not feature in the new series, though Pete, 52, and Princess' older brother Junior, 20, are set to make appearances. 'Katie will not be in Princess's show, the decision has been made and it's final. 'Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life. 'Television bosses were adamant that nothing was to be 'staged' to include Katie as it would not be a real and truthful insight into her life.' As well as older brother Junior, Princess has six other siblings - Theo, Amelia and Arabella from Pete's marriage to Emily MacDonagh, and Harvey, Jett and Bunny from her mum Katie's side.

Gemma Collins continues to show off her impressive weight loss as she larks around with her rarely-seen stepson Tristan and fiancé Rami Hawash on family trip in the New Forest
Gemma Collins shared a sweet snap with her rarely-seen stepson Tristan and fiancé Rami Hawash on Instagram as they enjoyed a trip in the New Forest on Monday. The reality star, 44, larked around with Rami's son Tristan, seven, in a huge hot tub during their five-star stay at the Lime Wood Hotel. The family spent some quality time at the luxury countryside hotel during the summer holidays. Gemma previously spoke of the bond she shares with Rami's son in an interview with the Daily Mail. She said: 'Do you know what? I've got the greatest gift of all my partner gave me. 'I have a beautiful three-year-old stepson and have a very good relationship with his mum and it's been so lovely that they've let me be a part of their lives. 'Tristan, he's beautiful. I love him so much. He's the apple of my eye. With Tristan, our family are just so obsessed with him. 'And my nephews Hayden and Kane are so good with him, he's like the new little baby on the scene. 'They just love him as much as I do and he loves them. He's just part of our family.' Gemma continued to show off her impressive weight loss in a pale blue swimsuit after dropping an incredible two stone on Mounjaro. The TOWIE alum has been incredibly open about losing weight on the loss jab after being unable to turn over in bed. Gemma previously shared her life has been transformed since taking the NHS-approved jab. Gemma, who at her heaviest weighed 23st and was a size 26, said her goal is to get down to a size 16 by summer. She is currently a size 20. The reality star has long wanted to start a family with her fiancé Rami and believes she will 'give birth to twins' next year after losing more weight. The star previously had a secret operation to have a gastric balloon fitted but was left feeling so ill after she thought she might die. She said: 'It was scary. I should never have done it... I thought I was going to die. I could not get out of bed. The pain in my stomach... because it was like a foreign body in my belly.' Gemma said even drinking water after the operation made her violently sick and so she rang the hospital begging them to take the balloon out. She also said there are plenty of celebrities taking weight loss jabs but most are keeping it to themselves. The star insisted she's not worried about losing her curves and even found at her heaviest, she couldn't put a 'sexy bra' on and also struggled to turn over in bed. She said: 'This has been life-changing for me. I am going to look like a Victoria's Secret model. But not only that, I feel healthier, I feel happier. I'm really looking forward to this year, I may finally be able to wear a bikini again.' Explaining the process of the brand and the options their offer, Gemma admitted went: 'This was a big thing for me to come on here because I just wanted to share with you my journey. I've been bullied and tortured all my life for being overweight. 'I can't tell you how good I feel right now. I feel like a massive weight's been lifted off my shoulders. 'This if for anyone who struggles is real. Only if you're overweight do you know the struggle, you know the downfalls, you know what you go through.'
