Mrs Hinch shares teary video explaining family issues behind social media hiatus

Online influencer Mrs Hinch has shared the heartbreaking news that both her father and her grandmother are in hospital.

The cleanfluencer, 33, has said in an update on Monday that she is experiencing a difficult period in her life with her son Ronnie also being assessed.

Cleanliness guru Sophie Hinchliffe is mother to Ronnie, three, and two-year-old Lenni who she shares with her husband Jamie Hinchliffe.

Mrs Hinch has not posted on her Instagram as frequently in recent weeks and this is understood to be due to the “personal life stumbles", the Mirror reports.

In an emotional video she shared the reasons for her limited appearances, saying: "I thought I would come on for a bit of a random chat," before talking about a lady in Scotland who she follows that often has a "blether" (meaning long-winded chat) to her followers.

Sophie, who wore minimum makeup as she pushed her hair away from her face with a headband, continued to explain how "this is not a 'woe is me' situation" but she just wanted to "catch up" with her 4.7 million followers.

She said: "So, my dad is in hospital at the moment.

"My dad has never been blessed, shall we say, with fantastic health, from his chest, his lungs, his heart. He's always struggled."

Sophie then spoke about how, when her dad retired, she made him a workshop when she and her family moved into their £1million "forever home" farmhouse, which they filled with wood and tools so he "could live this dream that he's had since he was a little boy."

She said her dad was in "very safe hands" in hospital and praised the "incredible" nurses who were caring for her beloved father.

"So I'm hoping dad will be home one day this week and can really enjoy doing what he loves doing again. I just want him to be happy," she said.

The social media star then revealed her grandmother is also in hospital after a fall.

She explained: "My nan is also in hospital. guys bless her heart she's had a fall.

"I know for a fact with my nan this affects her quite a lot mentally. The thought of having a fall.

"When you get older you worry more. Having loved ones in hospital is just not nice. It's just a worry, it's just something that you never want."

In another emotional update in the clip, Mrs Hinch revealed her son Ronnie is having "a few different assessments".

Holding back tears, she said: "Jamie and I have been going through a few different assessments, a few different processes with our Ron at the moment.

"As parents, we are going through... we're just navigating our way through things at the moment ourselves."

After the emotional clip, Mrs Hinch shared a series of snaps from a trip with her husband and children.

As she re-posted the photos on her Instagram story, she wrote: "I would love to know how many of you guys have visited here?

"If so what do you think? Ron & Len absolutely loved it I'm just taking one day at a time right now so I'm happy I got to do this with the boys".
