After dropping a stone in six weeks, Slinky Binky, shows off the results of all that hard work in her very first lingerie shoot.

The down-to-earth Made in Chelsea star is almost unrecognisable as the face of the high-end lingerie brand Bluebella.

The 23-year-old star said that she has never felt sexier as she posed for her first lingerie shoot for the brand.

Femme fatale: Binky says that this is by far the sexiest photo shoot she’s ever done

‘I must admit they are the sexiest pictures I have ever done’ says Binky, who was quick to add how pleased she was with the result.

‘I absolutely adore them. There are only so many days in a girl’s life when everything falls into place and you really do look your best. That was one of those days.’

Binky, said that she wouldn’t have had the confidence to go ahead with the shoot in earlier series of Made in Chelsea

‘I ended up wearing a lot of the sort of clothes I wore at home in the early days of the show – like leggings, tracksuit bottoms and off-the-shoulder jumpers.

‘I quickly realised that even though they may have been comfy, I needed to up my game, with people like Millie Mackintosh and Rosie Fortescue in the show.’

She recalls a pyjama party in series three when she realised she needed to transform her wardrobe.

Bluebella picked Binky as the face of the brand because she’s a real ‘girl’s girl’

‘Millie and the other girls wore soft and silky negligees and amazing skimpy underwear sets and I turned up in my most worn T-shirt and ancient tracksuit bottoms,’ she explained.

She continues to say that although everyone else found it endearing she felt like the odd one out.

‘Everyone loved it and thought it was really amusing, but I felt quite self-conscious and under-dressed, and it hit me then that maybe I should start caring more about how I looked. I think I had lost touch with my appearance a bit.’

Since then, Binky has completely transformed her image recently dropping a stone and a dress size in the space of six weeks.

The reality star is now at peak fitness, which is clear as she shows off her toned body in the new range for Bluebella.

Despite the fact that Binky’s weight loss is obvious in her bare-all shoot, Binky insists that she was under no pressure to lose weight from the brand.

‘The most surprising thing was that Bluebella made no special requests from me in the weeks building up to the shoot. I did get in shape but that was all about personal pride and had nothing to do with Bluebella.

‘Bluebella didn’t really mind what size I was for the shoot. They
create lingerie from a size 6 to a size 26 and all about making every
woman feel fabulous whatever her size or shape, but I wanted to feel my
most confident best.’

Binky admits that she had been apprehensive about posing in just bra and pants

The range has a certain Belle de Jour feel about it and although Binky is thrilled with the photos she admits that she did have her doubts when it came to posing in so little.

‘I was really thrilled to be asked to be the face of Bluebella lingerie but I was seriously worried that I would not look good in the photos. There’s nowhere to hide the bits you don’t like when you are wearing just a bra and knickers.

‘It was a big step for me fronting my own lingerie campaign but I am thrilled with results.’

Although the campaign is fronted by a Chelsea girl, famed for her high end taste, Binky insists that this is a collection for every budget.

Binky calls Bluebella ‘provocative at its best’

‘The beauty of Bluebella is that at less than £50 for a set, you don’t have to save it for a special occasion, you can wear it every day.It means you can look absolutely stunning without maxing your Amex. What’s not to like!’

Binky says that a new lingerie set is just the ticket for an instant confidence boost.

‘It was a big step for me fronting my own lingerie campaign but I am thrilled with results’

‘It gives you inner confidence -
whether you’re out with a gorgeous new man, going for an important job
interview or spending an exhausting 12 hours filming Made In Chelsea.

‘It
doesn’t matter if no one else knows you are wearing it, you know. It
gives you extra zip.’

Bluebella founder Emily Bendell said that she chose Binky for the brand because they wanted to make it more approachable and Binky was just the friendly face they were after.

‘Binky is incredibly likable, fun and down to earth as well as being gorgeous’ Emily says, ‘Bluebella is all about making women feel amazing and Binky is a real girls’ girl.’

It appears that Binky may finally be moving on from loverat boyfriend Alex Mytton, claiming that the lingerie gives plenty of flirting opportunities…

Bluebella is available at Selfridges, figleaves, ASOS
and via Bluebella.com, the latest collection is available from next month.
