Made In Chelsea star reveals she’s welcomed her second child with her husband after they hastily tied the knot following his two-year prison stint for £80m art fraud

Made In Chelsea star Victoria Baker-Harber has welcomed a second daughter, just a year after she hastily tied the knot with her husband following his release from prison.

The reality star joined the E4 show in 2011, where she became known for her sᴀssy, no-nonsense atтιтude and close friendship with Mark-Francis Vandelli.

Taking to Instagram to share the happy news, Victoria revealed she’d given birth to a baby girl named Astra.

It comes just a year after Victoria married her husband Inigo Philbrick in a quickie ceremony, two months after he was released from prison having been found guilty of £80m art fraud. 

Announcing the birth of her baby on Instagram, Victoria gushed: ‘Welcome to the world our beautiful little angel girl! Astra August Philbrick, May 5th 2025, 7Ilbs 5oz. You have already made us the happiest people on this planet.’

Congratulations quickly flowed in for the former reality star, and her latest family addition.

Victoria wed Inigo in a ‘quickie ceremony without guests’ last Monday, which came after he served two years of a seven-year sentence for defrauding wealthy clients, forging documents and faking an investor.

After officially tying the knot, the couple, who share daughter Gaia, three, said at the time they planned to celebrate with family and friends when Inigo’s electronic tag was taken off.

Their marriage is to help secure an American visa for Victoria, who is half British, half Australia, with the former E4 reality star admitting in a recent interview, ‘Not the wedding that I’ve pictured since I was nine…’

Inigo was arrested in 2020 when Victoria was five and a half months pregnant with their daughter and sentenced two years later, his release last month to home detention in New York where he reunited with his young family.

In an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine last year, Inigo admitted he didn’t feel any guilt about breaking the law, saying he was merely overambitious and ‘greedy’, and his crimes didn’t lead to anyone’s death.

He said: ‘There are a lot of people who look at it and say, Look, I didn’t kill anyone; I didn’t do anything violent in any sort of way.

‘Beyond that, the people who are involved in my case… no one missed a meal; nobody didn’t send their children to university. I don’t think that anyone in this whole story is guilty of much more than greed and ambition.

‘I don’t think any good business happens without ambition, and I think greed is a natural human state. I’d feel a lot more guilt if I had been drink-driving or if I’d been selling drugs and someone had died.’

The former gallery owner added he would have no problem being transparent about his crimes with three-year-old Gaia because ‘a lot can be learned’ from his experience.

Victoria met Inigo in 2016 on a friend’s yacht in the Mediterranean when the father-of-two was still with his ex-girlfriend, with whom he shares another daughter.

She vowed to stand by him throughout his prison sentence, calling Inigo the ‘love of her life’ and insisting, ‘There’s no way I was going to get up and let him go through whatever s*** was going to come his way on his own.’

And Inigo says being inside only strengthened his feelings for Victoria, even having a V tattoo on his chest, which was done for him by one of his fellow inmates.

Victoria, who was raised in Belgravia, London, found fame on E4’s Made In Chelsea in 2011, where she became known for her sᴀssy, no-nonsense atтιтude and close friendship with Mark-Francis Vandelli.

She and Inigo then went onto star in a BBC documentary discussing his fraudulent crimes and prison experience, which she says was her husband’s idea.

Speaking to the Mail last year, she said: ‘I’m doing a documentary. It’s about my fiancé and his time in prison. It’s wild… He’s all for it. It was his idea.’

She added: ‘He didn’t murder anyone. He put his hands up and admitted what he did do, and takes full responsibility and accountability, but everyone makes mistakes.’
