Cleaning guru and social media star Mrs Hinch was slapped with a ban on Instagram after failing to make clear she was advertising her own products to fans and followers last year. The popular influencer, whose real name is Sophie Hinchcliffe, currently has more than 4.6 million followers on social media and is known for her cleaning tips and tricks.
However, it has emerged that the 33-year-old landed herself in a spot of trouble more than 12 months ago with a UK watchdog over her lack of 'ad' tags in two posts on Instagram. Back in January last year, the influencer uploaded a story showing a notebook with the words: “If you’re a little mad like me tap here for yours.”
A link embedded in the story led users onto Amazon, where they could then buy the notebook themselves. She then wrote: " In my own notebook of course," as reported by the Mirror.
