Sophie Hinchliffe, aka Mrs Hinch, has revealed she is pregnant with her third child with a touching message to her late father.
The cleaning influencer, 34, already has two sons — Ronnie and Lennie — with her husband Jamie but is now expecting another boy.
She shared the good news on Instagram with her 4.8million followers, posting a video of her sons helping prepare for their new little brother.
Sophie, who lost her father earlier this year, shared an emotional message in the caption and wrote: ‘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🪽ILYD 💙.’
The video included a mirror selfie, in which she showed off her growing belly while wearing an all-black outfit.
‘Ronnie and Lennie’s Baby Brother,’ Sophie continued. ‘Our Baby Boy No.3 🙊 Joining us in 2025
‘The 3 Musketeers 💙💙💙 Bring on the absolute carnage boys @mrhinchhome 😉.’
Friends and family were quick to congratulate the social media star, with Stacey Solomon commenting: ‘I love you. And I’m so so happy for this beautiful blessing on all of you. Dad must be beaming. 🥹🥹🥹🥹.’
Kate Lawler said: ‘The loveliest news. 🥹 I think your Dad wanted to heal your heart x 🩵🕊️’
‘Soooo happy for you all 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵,’ added Charlotte Dawson as Molly-Mae Hague wrote: ‘Oh my goodness. I am so so so happy for you 😭😭😭😭🩵🩵🩵🩵.’
‘CONGRATS TO YOU ALL,’ said Michelle Visage, which was mirrored by Dani Dyer who wrote: ‘Congratulations to you all🥹❤️❤️❤️.’
In June last year, Sophie shared the concerning news that Ronnie had been rushed to hospital and ended up receiving a diagnosis of Kawasaki disease.
‘Nothing prepares you for something like this does it,’ she wrote at the time. ‘Just being on a children’s’ ward, seeing so many innocent little arms bandaged with cannulas. I just can’t comprehend this whole thing (sic).’
Ronnie was given the all-clear by July and was able to go on holiday with the family after doctors confirmed there was no negative impact on his heart.
Mrs Hinch concluded: ‘This past week has shaken our whole world as a family. I’ve never felt a fear like it. But I need to say THANKYOU to the incredible team at Broomfield hospital, St Marys and Great Ormond street.
‘Thank you for answering our prayers and making our Ronnie better, his little smile says it all so thank you.’
