Made In Chelsea star Victoria Baker-Harber quietly married Inigo Philbrick two months after being released from prison after being found guilty of £80million arts fraud.
The television personality, 36, married Iñigo in a “quick ceremony without guests” last Monday, which came after he served two years of a seven-year sentence for defrauding wealthy clients, falsifying documents and forging an investor.
After officially tying the knot, the couple, who share three-year-old daughter Gaia, plan to celebrate with family and friends in June, when Iñigo’s e-tag will be removed.
Their marriage is to help secure a US visa for Victoria, who is half-British, half-Australian, and the former E4 reality star admitted in a recent interview: “It’s not the wedding I’ve imagined since I was nine. “
Iñigo, 36, was arrested in 2020 when Victoria was five and a half months pregnant with her daughter and sentenced two years later, being released last month to house arrest in New York, where he was reunited with his young family.

In an interview with The Times last week, Iñigo admitted that he did not feel guilty about breaking the law, saying he was simply too ambitious and “greedy,” and that his crimes did not 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 way.
‘Beyond that, the people who are involved in my case… no one missed a meal; Nobody didn’t send their children to college. I don’t think anyone in this entire story is guilty of much more than greed and ambition.
‘I don’t believe any good business happens without ambition, and I believe greed is a natural human state. “I would feel a lot guiltier if I had been driving under the influence or if I had been selling drugs and someone had died.”
The former gallery owner added that 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 Iñigo 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 support him during his prison sentence, calling Inigo the “love of her life” and insisting, “There’s no way I was going to stand up and let him go through any shit that came his way.” his own.
And Iñigo says that being inside only strengthened his feelings for Victoria, even having a V-shaped tattoo on his chest, which one of his fellow prisoners gave him.
Last week, Iñigo cheekily shared a photo of his electronic anklet on Instagram, captioning the post “Making moves with my ball and chain.”

Victoria, who met Iñigo in 2016, promised to support him during his prison sentence, while he had a tattoo of a V on his stomach in tribute to his wife while he was inside.
Victoria, who grew up 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 television contacts to land a show in which she and Iñigo talk about their fraudulent crimes and their experience in prison, which she claims was her husband’s idea.
Speaking to the Mail last year, he said: “I’m making a documentary.” It’s about my fiancé and his time in prison. It’s wild… He totally agrees. It was his idea.
And he added: “He didn’t murder anyone.” ‘He put his hands up and admitted what he did, and he takes full responsibility, but everyone makes mistakes.’
