Mrs Hinch announces pregnancy with third child praising late dad for 'gift'

Cleaning enthusiast Sophie Hinchliffe has announced her pregnancy with her third child.

The influencer, known best as Mrs Hinch, shared the news with her followers on Instagram on Sunday.

She said: "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. Ronnie and Lennies baby brother. Our Baby Boy No.3 Joining us in 2025. The 3 Musketeers. Bring on the absolute carnage boys."

Sophie, who has amassed a huge following from sharing cleaning tips and housework hacks, was flooded with messages from fans and friends.

As reported in the Mirror, Zoe Sugg wrote: "Congratulations Sophie!!!" One fan said: "Huge congratulations to you all, I don’t have any doubt your dad is always watching and he knew how much you needed this. It’s nice to see you smile again Soph."

Another shared: "The same thing happened to me. I was nine weeks pregnant when I lost my dad. Our little boy is a very special blessing from him. I know it x." Stacey Solomon added: "I love you. And I’m so so happy for this beautiful blessing on all of you. Dad must be beaming."

In September, Sophie shared a tearful video with fans as she said she was struggling with grief from the tragic death of her father, Alan, earlier this year.

She said: "I thought I was doing alright... I had a dream last night. I don't understand how we have this grief that's with us all the time, but when you try and do better you're sort of knocked back on the floor again."

As her voice continued to tremble, Mrs Hinch went on: "But yeah, I don't know really. I'm just wondering and I was Googling at five o'clock this morning the visitation dreams and things... I just feel like I really want to try and do better and I can't." She ended by asking if any of her followers had any advice on how to "start again" as she explained she was struggling again "every few days".

The popular cleaning guru spoke of the "deep unimaginable pain" she was grappling with at the time when she first announced his death in May. Sophie is already a proud mum to sons Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three. The cleaning sensation told her followers that she and her eldest son Ronnie were both diagnosed with autism last year.
