Made in Chelsea star Binky Felstead's mother Jane has shared a shocking update on social media after a nasty fall landed her in hospital. The 74-year-old, known to fans as Mummy Felstead, appeared in a video filmed by her daughter, strapped to a hospital bed with bloody bruising on her head and two black eyes.
Jane's Message from Hospital
Speaking to the camera, she said: 'I'd like to say to my family. Here I am. I've pulled through again… I'll fight another day.' Remaining in good spirits, she joked about wanting a glass of champagne despite the 'ambulance being horrified' and told an anecdote about having a 'do not resuscitate badge'.
Explaining the lead-up to her fall, she said she had a 'bit of a run-in with my upstairs neighbour which was very unpleasant'. She added: 'As I fell, I don't know, all these women arrived, and I knew them all… by the way I was blue lighted all the way, they were very worried about me.'
Fan Reactions
Worried fans flocked to the comments to share their well wishes. Loubear_whit_ing wrote: 'Oh goodness, mummy Felstead!! Even after this trauma you're still cracking your lovely jokes and making everyone smile. Sending you love.' Suziewells_said commented: 'Awe I do hope your mum is ok. Sending lots of love and a speedy recovery.' Georginatilly praised: 'So stoic, brave and funny bless you …go get that champagne.' Sophiacariad echoed: 'Sending you all the love. How you manage to be such a ray of sunshine after all that trauma is beyond amazing.'
Jane's Health Advocacy
Jane, who made regular cameos on Made in Chelsea between 2011 and 2017, has built a following of 85,000 on social media, where she shares updates on living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), diagnosed in 2017. She is now an advocate for the MS Society. As explained by the NHS, MS is a condition affecting the brain and spinal cord with no cure; symptoms can include extreme tiredness, vision issues, and numbness.
In 2024, she told the MS Society: 'I can't stress enough how wonderful it was to get a diagnosis, after so many years of having an invisible illness. Friends and acquaintances had never believed me and I had been told everything from I “needed to rest” to “I needed to rest less”! I began to wonder if I was exaggerating my symptoms, but I knew how my own body felt.' She added: 'So, suddenly this was the moment I had needed all my life. But hearing what the neurologist had to say was scary. She began to explain what MS was, and the possible implications for me. All the years I had waited for answers finally hit me.'
