According to her LinkedIn, her company April Banbury Designs gives clients a “unique experience creating bespoke garment specifically tailored to them.”
Interestingly, April is also the daughter of Ian Banbury who represented Great Britain in the 1976 Olympic Games.
Following in her dad’s famous footsteps April was crowned the first ever Ms Great Britain in the women over 28 category in 2020.
She told the Daily Mail at the time: “My grandmother taught my dad how to be a champion, and in turn they passed their knowledge on to me.
“They gave me invaluable lessons told me believe in myself and never give up on my dreams.”
When was April Banbury on The Cabins?
April starred on The Cabins on ITV in November 2020 where she shared a log cabin with model Ryan Darvill.
They ended up getting on very well and continued dating after the show, but unfortunately Covid put a dampener on their relationship.
She told the Mirror: “We can’t mix, we can’t risk giving each other Covid. It would be detrimental to our work. I have found it particularly hard.

“I so want to see him, to see how it goes and to progress on a romantic level, building on what we’ve got. We’re taking things slowly, we have no choice.”
While they were still together during the reunion show, they later split up.
In another brush with reality fame, April also starred on the Channel 5 series The Bachelor back in 2011.
At the time, she was competing for the love of rugby player Gavin Henson.
Where is April Banbury from Married at First Sight now?
Since finishing filming for Married at First Sight UK, April has been enjoying spending time with her friends and family.
She has also been attending lots of glitzy events including fashion shows and company launches.
Following backlash on the show, April has also spoken out about how trolling has affected her.
"It's been really hard to deal with, I didn't expect so much hate - it put me in a place where I never thought I'd see myself," she explained to The Sun.
But she said it hasn’t put her off joining other shows in the future, adding: “I would never say no, but I'm not sure I would say yes.
"I've come out of this with not only learning a lot about myself but amazing friendships that will last a life-time.
"But I'm not ready [for another reality show] yet, at the moment I'm just trying to get myself through this one."
