Binky Felstead Apologizes for Cakegate, Learns from Backlash

0:00It's May 2nd, from red carpets to breaking stories. This is entertainment in celebrity news, powered by AI. Binky Felsde, the maid and Chelsea star, just spoke out on K-Kate, owning up that she's completely at fault and gets why folks are mad. Last month, a London bakery owner called her out for asking a free custom cake for her son Wilder's third birthday, all in exchange for an Instagram, shout out. That pose blew up online, and then another baker from Funfetti Cakes jumped in, saying Binky hit her up back in 2021 for free wedding and birthday cakes with the same exposure deal, but ghosted her after delivery. Bakery owners like Reshmi Bennett and the Funfetti one, vented hard about influencers expecting free work from small businesses where every cost hits. Deep and exposure doesn't cover bills. In her interview, Binky defended gifting as normal influencer practice that helped some spots grow, but admitted she dropped the ball on the Funfetti. She fell through and has now squared up with payment for that wedding cake.
