Mrs Hinch – whose real name is Sophie Hinchcliffe – surprised fans with a worrying update from hospital, revealing she underwent an operation after suffering a blood clot
Mrs Hinch shares health update after being rushed to hospital
Mrs Hinch has revealed she was sent home from hospital despite having a blood clot.
The cleaning guru – who recently welcomed son Vinnie into the world – has revealed she underwent a CT scan at one hospital, fearing she had a blood clot. However, she said she was sent home by medics who said there was no blood clot.
However, concerned, Sophie Hinchcliffe kept an eye on her leg and when it grew in size, she took herself to a different hospital and was scanned once again. There, she was told they needed to operate as she had a big blood clot in her groin / pelvis / leg area.
“Anyway to cut a long story short, I had a blood clot in my groin / pelvis / leg area. I haven’t had one since 2018 and then another one decides to hit me three weeks postpartum. What a 12 months it’s been,” she explained.
“I got put through a CT scan and they said there’s no blood clot, you can go home. I went home; my leg got bigger and bigger. I came back to a different hospital and they scanned me and said we need to operate, you’ve got a big blood clot.”
She added: “How mad is that? And that keeps playing on my mind. What if I didn’t come back? Just trust your gut guys. Trust your bloody gut. Anyway over and out from me and blood clot. I can’t wait to wake up in the morning and get home.”
During her operation, she explained that they “hoovered” her blood clot out and her stents.
“They managed to go in through my leg. They didn’t go through in my neck in the end. They hoovered out the blood clot and they hoovered my stents out. They’ve literally hoovered me which is ironic isn’t it?” I think I’ve still got quite a lot of painkillers or anaesthetic in my system so I’m probably not making sense,” she explained.
It’s been a tough few months for Sophie after losing her father – and recently welcoming her son Vinnie.
Announcing the sad news of her dad’s death, she wrote in April 2024: “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, Our boys beloved Grandad, Your workshop is locked up and I sleep with the key. I promise to keep your workshop dream going. Until we meet and sing together again. Goodnight Dad.”
On the arrival of her baby boy, she also shared a sweet message: “Welcome to the world. Vinnie Alan Barker Hinchliffe. Born 18th February at 12:21pm , 6lb7oz. Our beautiful little heart healer entered the world In the month we needed him most, February.
“February is my Dads birthday month, my birthday month … And now, it’s our Vinnies. The signs, the comfort ,the joy, you really are just everything we have needed and more Vinnie. Now it’s time to meet your beautiful big brothers, and start the next chapter.”
