Made In Chelsea stars Binky Felstead and Josh ‘JP’ Patterson brought their gorgeous baby girl India onto This Morning on Friday.

And while Friday stand-in hosts Alison Hammond and Rylan Clark-Neal gushed over the little cutie, fans watching the show were more concerned about how Binky was holding the baby.

According to worried viewers she wasn’t supporting India’s head enough.

They all expressed their concerns on Twitter, offering advice on how to hold her little girl.

Binky and Josh were all smiles as they talked about welcoming the tot into their lives as well as the next instalment in their spin-off reality show Born In Chelsea.

“It’s been the most surreal journey, but honestly the most amazing one,” said JP.

Alison wanted to get to the nitty gritty of it all though as she asked: “Are you getting any sleep?”

“She’s actually quite good. She does four hour stints – 12 o’clock, 4.30ish and about 8am,” Binky said.

JP added: “I honestly think it comes down to your partner, Binks and I have done so well at bouncing off each other, it can either make it incredibly hard or incredibly easy and you end up picking up on these little signals.

“If Binks has done a few night feeds and she’s exhausted, it can be something as small as me waking up and making her a cup of tea. It’s the little things and it makes such a big difference.”

Speaking about why they wanted to do the show and have their most treasured and intimate moments filmed by a camera crew, Binky revealed:

“There’s a lot of scaremongers out there who want to scare you and tell you it’s horrific, and I was scared, but I’m hoping it helps people see it doesn’t need to be terrifying.”

She later added how real the show was: “Even breastfeeding in public was scary, that was scary for me, because you’ve never done it before, all those real emotions and real things you will see.”

After a dream six-hour labour, Binky gave birth to India on June 12, and despite only being a mum for just over a month, she’s already thinking about baby number two!

Referring to having the baby so quickly, she told the hosts: “They said: ‘next time you’re pregnant get to hospital quickly because you might have a baby in two hours’.”

After which Rylan cheekily asked if that meant they were planning to have another one already.

“I’m thinking a two-and-a-half year gap!” she laughed.

But when quizzed on whether they’d have ‘Married in Chelsea’ next, JP dodged the question by talking about how hot it was in the studio, and Binky said they were focusing on the baby for now.
