How Stacey Solomon & A-list stars are rallying around Mrs Hinch after she’s left in ‘unimaginable pain’ by dad’s death
MRS Hinch has been flooded with support after revealing the “unimaginable pain” she’s feeling after announcing the tragic passing of her beloved dad.
The cleanfluencer, 34, whose real name is Sophie Hinchcliffe, took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking update and explained how her dad Alan died “suddenly” last month.
She shared several touching images of the pair together, including one of her dad – who inspired the name of her son Lennie Alan James Hinchcliffe – giving her a warm hug on her wedding day to husband Jamie.
It wasn’t long before legions of fans rushed to support the much-loved cleaning whizz – including a whole host of celebrities who were quick to offer their heartfelt condolences.
Amongst the first to comment was actress Vicky McClure, who wrote: “I’m so sorry. Sending much love and strength to you and your family.”
Mrs Hinch’s BFF Stacey Solomon also rallied around her bestie and wrote: “I love you so so much darling. Dad was & always will be so proud of you.
“Take all the time you need. Do whatever you need to do. We all love you & will be here. Always.”
The pair have been inseparable since 2019 after striking up a friendship after giving birth to their baby boys within a month of each other.
I love you so so much darling. Dad was & always will be so proud of you. Take all the time you need. Do whatever you need to do. We all love you & will be here. Always

Documentary maker and Strictly star Zara McDermott also penned: “I am so so so so sorry. Sending you so much love.”
Meanwhile, former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, who is engaged to Tommy Fury, also reached out following Mrs Hinch‘s devastating announcement.
The mum-of-one commented on the heartbreaking post: “I’m so sorry Sophie. May he rest in paradise,” followed by a white heart and dove emoji.
The 24-year-old is believed to be a fan of cleanfluencer Mrs Hinch after re-posting and praising her organisational skills.
In 2020, the cleaning whizz took to Instagram and revealed to her followers how she bought a set of IKEA drawers of spotting them on Molly-Mae’s channel.
“Right guys I was watching @mollymaehague stories and she had these drawers from Ikea for her makeup and I thought OMG I’m gonna buy them too and have the same as Molly,” she wrote.
She added: “I bought the organiser trays from @flyingtiger last year! Love that shop!” as she showed her fans how she puts her make-up away in a neat way.
However, Mrs Hinch was left totally star struck when Molly-Mae re-posted the clip and penned: “Now I just need to make mine as organised as yours.”

Clearly delighted, the cleaning whizz added an amusing phone filter and enthused: “When Molly-Mae puts you on her story and you don’t quite know what to do with yourself #thisisme.”
TV and radio personality Vicky Pattinson, 36, was also amongst the famous names who let the cleanfluencer know she was in her thoughts.
“I’m so sorry soph. sending you all love,” she wrote.
Mrs Hinch and Vicky have previously met after the cleaning whizz previously appeared on Vicky’s podcast – The Secret To – where she candidly admitted how becoming a mum to a newborn again “hit her like a brick to the head.”
Reality star Charlotte Dawson also rushed to offer her condolences to Mrs Hinch, writing: “So sorry my lovely. Sending you all so much love love & thinking of you all xxxxxxxx.”
The pair connected on social media after finding themselves in similar situations after cruel trolls tried to get their children taken off them.
In response to an emotional post that Charlotte wrote in May, the cleaning guru offered her support and commented: “Oh I’m so sorry.
How Mrs Hinch keeps her relateable image despite raking in £2.8 million a year
By Chloe Morgan
MANY of us may think we have few things in common with someone who raked in a whopping £2.8 million last year alone – but when it comes to Mrs Hinch, you couldn’t be more wrong.
The cleaning influencer, 34, whose real name is Sophie Hinchcliffe, has amassed a staggering 4.8 million followers on Instagram and fast become the most ‘relateable’ celeb mum out there – and it’s easy to see why.
While social media can often present a rather warped view of reality, the mum-of-two, who shares sons Ronnie, four and Lennie, three, with doting husband Jamie, offers a refreshing realness about how hard motherhood can be.
From showing that even cleaning pros can have messy houses to expressing mum guilt like the best of us, it’s no wonder she’s loved by a legion of loyal fans.
Speaking exclusively to Fabulous Digital, Hannah Williams, independent PR consultant, explains just how she’s remained so relatable.
“Mrs Hinch has managed to hold on to her relatable image because she has, in a nutshell, kept the authentic voice she started out with – even as she has grown wealthier and more successful,” she says.
“If you began following her on social media years ago because you wanted to get tips on home décor and cleaning from a highly relatable woman, you will absolutely still get that from her now, albeit with slicker execution and delivery (and a more impressive house!)
“Her followers don’t just follow her for tips from a ‘cleanfluencer.’ They also get insights into the highs and lows of family life which, even as she becomes wealthier, feel relatable.”
“A similar thing happened to me Charlotte, it’s sickening, but please never give up.
“You make me smile daily on here and you’re incredible, all the best.”
Former TOWIE star Jessica Wright also commented: “So so sorry for your loss sending so much love to you & your family,” while Lauren Pope added: “Oh I’m so sorry, sending all the love.”
Alongside the touching Instagram post post 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. Until we meet and sing together again. Goodnight Dad. My absolute king. Your Bubberloo.”
She then shared the quote which read: “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.”
