Mrs Hinch has shared a number of images on Instagram of her legs covered in purple bruises amid a battle with a blood disorder with fans sharing concern for the cleaning guru. Sophie Hinchcliffe, who's 32, explained why she rarely ever wears skirts or dresses due to the extensive bruising on her legs because of her condition.
She shared an Instagram story on Saturday (April 16) of black and purple bruises on her thighs. She explained she would love nothing more than to wear a mini dress or skirt and bask in the sunshine and warmth.
Because her bruising is so bad, Sophie adds he usually has to refrain from wearing any clothes which show off her legs. Alongside the video of her bruises, the star explained: "Typical that the sun is out and my blood plays up. This is why I wear winter clothes in the summer guys. I get so worried about going out when it's sunny."
