‘I’d be lying if I said I’m doing well’ admits pregnant Mrs Hinch as she recalls ‘crying on the floor’ after dad’s death

MRS Hinch has admitted she would be lying if she said she is doing well, just days after announcing her pregnancy news. 

Just last week, the influencer, 34, revealed on Instagram that she is expecting another bundle of joy with her husband Jamie.

The mum-of-two, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, is pregnant with her third child, another boy.

But now, Sophie has responded to fans who are eager to know how she is doing, just months after the death of her father, Alan. 

Posting on her Instagram stories, the cleaning fanatic responded to a comment from a fan which simply read: ‘Plain and simple, how are you?’

To this, Sophie opened up: “If I was to say I’m doing well… I would be lying.

“When I’m with my family, I feel myself smiling through distraction and routine but then an hour later, when grief hits again, I’m on the floor crying back to square one.

“So I don’t really know how to answer this one guys but what I do know is I am so lucky to have a family that needs me.

“Our Ron and Len are just everything, and now I’m growing our baby boy that I believe Dad sent us to heal our hearts.

“So we keep going. I know anyone who’s experienced grief will completely understand. 

“We move… because we have to.

“Sending love to you all on this journey, it’s beyond words really.” 

Not only this, but Sophie also shared an emotional video of her, not long after finding out her pregnancy news.

Responding to a fan’s comment which read ‘Please can we see a video of you finding out you’re pregnant, if you have one’, Sophie shared a short clip looking at a positive pregnancy test.

‘Mixture of every emotion’

The blonde beauty broke down in tears and cuddled her dog Henry, as she wrote: “I actually don’t have a video of my finding out because I just peed on a stick and ran to my mum.

“But I am one of those people who need to do 10 tests to believe it.

“When the house was empty, I got all my positive tests together and just sat with Henry.

“It was a mixture of every emotion but all above happiness, comfort, healing and pure love.”

As well as this, when asked ‘Did you video find out it was a beautiful boy?’, Sophie confirmed to her 4.8 million followers: “The place we wanted to sit to find out is somewhere I won’t share publicly. I’m sorry.

“We wanted to be as close to my Dad as possible so that’s what we did.

“Me, Jamie, Ron, Len, Henry, my sister, my niece and my mum.” 

Pregnancy reveal

Sophie’s updates come just two days after the mum-of-two revealed her exciting pregnancy news. 

Last Sunday, Sophie took to Instagram with an adorable post to announce the happy news.

Heaven was too far to visit, so you sent us a special gift from up above

In the short video, Jamie was seen painting the words “Baby boy #3” on a wall inside their house, while their sons Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three, added their hand prints around the message.

As the clip went on, a black-and-white filter faded away, revealing blue paint on the wall to signify that another boy is on the way.

It then cut to Sophie cradling her bump in a black catsuit.

The cleaning guru paid tribute to her late dad Alan in her caption, writing: “Heaven was too far to visit, so you sent us a special gift from up above. 

“I have no doubt you sent him to us Dad, to fill our hearts with so much love.

“Ronnie and Lennies Baby Brother. Our Baby Boy No.3. Joining us in 2025. The 3 Musketeers.”

Celebrity support

Sophie’s celebrity friends rushed to the comments to share their well wishes after hearing the happy news.

Her good pal Stacey Solomon wrote: “I love you. And I’m so so happy for this beautiful blessing on all of you. Dad must be beaming.”

The loveliest news. I think your Dad wanted to heal your heart

Molly-Mae Hague added: “Oh my goodness. I am so so so happy for you.”

Whilst Love Island star Faye Winter gushed: “Congratulations! Such a blessing.”

Not only this, but Kate Lawler beamed: “The loveliest news. I think your Dad wanted to heal your heart x.”

Sophie’s grief journey

Mrs Hinch’s update comes just months after Sophie shared the heartbreaking news that her dad had died “suddenly but peacefully”.

Back in April, Sophie lost her dad Alan after he passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. 

Previously, the cleaning fanatic shared that her late father, who suffered with life-long “chest, lung and heart” problems, was “never blessed with… fantastic health” and had been hospitalised for several weeks in 2023.

The mother, who took an eight week break from social media after her dad’s death, also shared an update with fans regarding her grief journey.

She explained: “I’d be lying if I said I was okay… in fact, I feel broken.

”I feel an extreme mix of emotions and not too much makes sense right now.

”It’s like I’ve entered this new part of my world, where only grief sits, and it feels heavy; something I can’t describe unless you’ve been there.

”For now, I’m really trying to navigate this new life without one of the people I love the most; one of my biggest support systems.

”I feel like my Dad taught me everything I know; except how to live without him.”

The grieving mum also took the time to thank her fans for their support during this difficult time for both her and her loved ones.

She continued: “I wanted to come on here and say thank you so much for all the overwhelming amount of love and support.

”I may not be able to get back to you all right now, but I see you and I am so grateful.

”Thank you for being so patient with me while I try to find my feet again alongside my family, who I am SO incredibly proud of and who I love with my whole heart.

”I’m really hoping to find my feet again one day, my family is my everything.”
