Yahoo News MiC's Binky says she and JP gave it their "best shot"
Made in Chelsea person Binky Felstead has revealed that she and Josh 'JP' Patterson gave their relationship their "best shot".
The pair, who welcomed their daughter India last year, released a joint statement in September, explaining that they had parted ways.
Speaking about the split, she has now told The Sun's Fabulous: "It was literally a mutual decision. Things hadn't been right for a while, but we'd kind of painted over it.
"I think doing that was unfair on India as well as ourselves. We can't stick together just because we have a baby."

"You know, [our relationship] was always a bit up and down," said Binky. "But India was an amazing surprise and we thought we would give it our best shot.
"And we have had really happy times, just like any couple. But we're still quite young – Josh had never had a girlfriend before – and we've been in the public eye, which isn't easy anyway when you're in a relationship. And then to have a baby on top of everything else…"
Binky added: "But we really respect each other – he's an amazing father and it has been an amicable break-up. We're getting through it together."
