Mrs Hinch was taken to the hospital due to a blood clot in her leg, just twenty-one days after giving birth. She shared the news with her followers on Instagram in a recent health update.
The cleaning guru, aka Sophie Hinchliffe, 35, took to her Story to film a video from her hospital bed explaining what had happened.
Dressed in a hopsital gown, she told the camera: ‘I’m not really sure where to start with this week guys.
While at the hospital, Mrs Hinch met several of her followers and decided to provide them with an update on her health. She believes in sharing all aspects of her life with her audience, whether good, bad, or ugly.
In a nutshell, Mrs Hinch revealed that she had a blood clot in her groin, pelvis, and leg region. This occurrence came as a surprise to her since the last time she experienced a blood clot was back in 2018. Having to deal with this issue just three weeks after giving birth added to the challenges she has faced over the past year.
She got emotional as she continued: ‘But I can only imagine what’s going on in this hospital above me, below me, and I’m just, I’m not moaning.
‘I’m just sort of updating because I bumped into some really lovely followers in A&E. They were helping me, they were like Soph what are you doing here?’
‘I was like girls I think I’ve got a blood clot in my leg. I was right. But keeping positive, the operation went well. They managed to go in through my leg. They didn’t go in through my neck in the end.
Sophie explained: ‘They hoovered out the blood clot, 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 because I’m probably not making much sense but I’ve had a few messages saying Soph, why are you in the hospital?’
She reassured: ‘I just wanted to say I’m alright, all good. I can hopefully go home tomorrow. I can go home tomorrow, they’ve said I can and I cannot wait to smell my boys. Pick up Vinnie, that newborn smell.
‘Oh my God, I swear I’m getting withdrawal symptoms from him like, my boobs.’
Sophie added that she’s had a ‘lovely Facetime’ with her boys and should be back home in her ‘newborn bubble’ tomorrow.
In another clip, she said: ‘Can I add, to the followers that I bumped into, can I just say thank you? What a lovely bunch of people you are. And I was right. Because I was put through thr CT scan, had all that done.
‘They said there’s no blood clot, you can go home. I went home. My leg got bigger and bigger so I came back to a different hospital.
‘They scanned me and said we need to operate, you’ve got a big blood clot. How mad is that?’
The social media star admitted: ‘And that’s playing on my mind really bad. What if I didnt’ come back? Do you know what I mean, just trust your gut guys.’
Sophie then shared a sweet clip of one of her sons running towards here and emotionally quipped: ‘Hurry up tomorrow when I’ll be back home to this.
‘Just a reminder. ALWAYS trust your gut. You know your own body. Goodnight everyone. Lots of love xx.’
Sophie welcomed her third child with her husband Jamie in February and announced the news in a sweet Instagram post.
The cleaning guru shared adorable photos of the new tot just minutes after his delivery, while revealing his cute name.
She later shared a sweet video of Jamie walking through the hospital as they headed home with their newborn.
Captioning the post, she wrote: ‘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

‘@mrhinchhome I love you beyond words❤️ ILYD , I feel you Barker always xx’
In a separate video she shared on her stories, walking out of the hospital, she wrote: ‘Home time’.
The couple are already proud parents to sons Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three.
In September 2024, Sophie sobbed in an emotional social media video as she appealed to her fanbase for support during her ongoing battle with grief after losing her father.
She said: ‘When you’ve been through something like this, it’s a bit like an out of body experience.
‘The world looks different, feels different, smells different, just everything is different,’ she said in her stories in August.
Sophie announced her father’s death on Instagram in May, writing that he ‘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.’
Sophie continues to struggle with her grief as she told her fans: ‘I thought I was doing alright or managing a bit yesterday.
‘And then I had a dream last night… I don’t understand how we have this grief that is with us all the time but when you try and do better you’re sort of knocked back on the floor again.’
‘I really want to do better but I can’t. I don’t know if anyone’s got any advice on starting again every few days it seems.’
