Made In Chelsea star Victoria Baker
Made In Chelsea star Victoria Baker-Harber has quietly married Inigo Philbrick two months after he was released from prison having been found guilty of £80m art fraud.
The TV personality, 36, 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, plans to celebrate with family and friends in June, when Inigo's electronic tag is due to come 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, 36, 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 week, 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.
Last week, Inigo shamelessly shared a photo of his electronic ankle tag on Instagram, captioning the post 'Making moves with my ball and chain'
Victoria joined Made In Chelsea in 2011 and was known for her close friendship with Mark-Francis Vandelli (pictured)

Victoria, who was raised in Belgravia, London, found fame on E4's Made In Chelsea in 2011, where she became known for her sassy, no-nonsense attitude and close friendship with Mark-Francis Vandelli.
And now Victoria has used her TV contacts to land a show where she and Inigo talk about 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.'
