Binky Felstead and Joshua Patterson reveal the name of their baby girl
What do you think of their choice?
Binky Felstead and Josh 'JP' Patterson have finally revealed the baby name they've chosen for their daughter, who arrived on Monday 12th June.
The Made in Chelsea stars told HELLO! magazine that they'd chosen to call their newborn India Elizabeth, with the hyphenated surname Felstead-Patterson.
'Having India has cemented us – even more than we were before,' Josh told the title, whilst Binky agreed: 'We're a family now. She just loves cuddles, and everyone's saying she looks like Josh but she has both our dark hair.'
The new mum, who gave birth at the Lindo Wing in Paddington, the same hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge welcomed her children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, added that she'd had a 'dream labour'.
'There was no screaming or crying and it wasn't like in a movie,' she explained. 'It was all over very quickly.'
'I burst into tears when she was born...,' said Josh. 'When you've seen your partner give birth you end up feeling emotions for them that you've never felt before. I can't describe how much admiration I have for her for what she's been through… it's a new feeling in my heart.'
When India arrived earlier this month, Josh was first to announce the happy news online, taking to Instagram to share a gorgeous picture with his 381k followers of his little bundle of joy.
