Social media cleaning guru Mrs Hinch revealed that she was struggling behind closed doors, after dealing with the death of her dad, a hospitalisation, and her newborn baby falling ill all in the space of the last year
Famous social media influencer Mrs Hinch has shared a heartbreaking post about her family tragedy. The star shared a message to her late dad, describing how “hard” things are for her amid a very difficult year. Mrs Hinch – real name Sophie Hinchliffe – has been through several traumatic moments over the past 12 months. The 35-year-old star welcomed her third son, Vinnie Alan, with husband Jamie last month, joining older siblings Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three.
Just this week, Mrs Hinch said she was “in the thick of it” as she secured a doctor’s appointment for baby Vinnie after worries he had “either colic or even silent reflux.” Vinnie’s illness came soon after Mrs Hinch was hospitalised herself with a blood clot in her groin just three weeks after she gave birth to him.
All this followed the death of her beloved dad, Alan, on April 25 last year – and as the month of his death came Mrs Hinch admitted she was struggling without him.
On Instagram, she wrote: “And just like that it’s April.” Alongside an angel wing emoji, she then lamented: “A month I will never see the same way again.”
The Essex native continued: “Life isn’t the same anymore Dad. I look for your signs every day but it’s not enough. I miss you more each day. Time isn’t making it easier, in fact it’s showing me more of what you’re missing.
“I just want to sit with you, I want to make you a coffee, place Vinnie in your arms, show you the boys’ Easter hats, read Ronnie’s school report with you, help you order mum’s Mother’s Day flowers and then spend the day together in the workshop, living out the dream we had only just started.” Sophie then sadly concluded: “Things are hard right now Dad, and I’ve never needed you so much. Bubbber x.”
When announcing the loss of Alan, Mrs Hinch shared that he died suddenly and peacefully – but admitted that knowing he died in peace didn’t change the “unimaginable pain” she was in.
Alongside a series of photos of herself and her dad, Sophie wrote: “25th April 2024. My precious Dad passed suddenly but so peacefully whilst he slept. My life, our whole world, has been turned upside down.
“A deep unimaginable pain I cannot put into words. My loving Dad, Your workshop is locked up and I sleep with the key. I promise to keep your workshop dream going.”
The mother of three added: “Until we meet and sing together again. Goodnight Dad My absolute king Your Bubberloo. Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot.
“All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
