Mrs. Hinch has revealed she is not doing well during her third pregnancy as she continues to experience grief over her father's death.

Sophie Hinchcliffe took part in a candid Q&A with her Instagram followers on Tuesday where someone asked: 'Plain and simple, how are you?'

The social media star, 34, admitted she experiences bouts of grief where she lies crying on the floor over the passing of her father Alan who died in April.   

Mrs Hinch wrote: 'If I was to say I am doing well... I would be lying. When I'm with my family, I feel myself smiling through distractionand routine but then an hour later, when grief hits again, I'm on the floor crying back to square one.

'So I don't really know how to answer this one guys but what I do know is I am so lucky to have a family that need me, our Ron and Len are just everything.

'Now I'm growing our baby boy that I believe Dad sent us to help heal our hearts. So we keep going. I know anyone who's expeirenced grief will completely understand.

'We move... because we have to. Sending love to you all on this journey, it's beyond words really.' 

Mrs Hinch was also asked if she had started on the nursery for her third son and shared a photo of the room with 'Baby Boy #3' painted on the wall along with the handprints of her two sons.

Sophie, who is best known for her cleaning and DIY tips, is mother to Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three, with her husband Jamie. 

Mrs Hinch announced heer third pregnancy on Sunday, joking there would be more 'carnage' ahead by adding another boy to her brood, before showcasing her blossoming bump.

She 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'.

'Ronnie and Lennies Baby Brother. Our Baby Boy No.3.Joining us in 2025. 3 Musketeers.

Before joking: ' Bring on the absolute carnage boys'.

In September Mrs Hinch sobbed in an emotional video as she appealed to her fanbase for support during her ongoing battle with grief after losing her father.

She said: 'When you’ve been through something like this, it’s a bit like an out of body experience. 

'The world looks different, feels different, smells different, just everything is different,' she said in her stories in August. 

Sophie announced her father's death on Instagram in May, writing that he 'passed suddenly but so peacefully whilst he slept. 

'My life, our whole world, has been turned upside down. A deep unimaginable pain I cannot put into words.'

Sophie continues to struggle with her grief as she told her fans: 'I thought I was doing alright or managing a bit yesterday.

'And then I had a dream last night... I don't understand how we have this grief that is with us all the time but when you try and do better you're sort of knocked back on the floor again.'

'I really want to do better but I can't. I don't know if anyone's got any advice on starting again every few days it seems.' 

Mrs Hinch is best known for her cleaning tips and organisational hacks and she discovered her passion for all things DIY through Alan. 

As a child she would watch New Yankees Workshop with her father and the pair would dream of having a similar workshop themselves. 

Then, when the family moved in 2021, Sophie surprised him with his own dedicated space and tools after he retired - something he had wanted 'since he was a little boy'. 

Describing the workshop as the 'most emotional part of the house', Alan created his own workshop bench and stool and the pair pinned up a whiteboard to write out their upcoming projects.

Sophie ordered all her dads favourite tools for the workshop and shared her excitement to upcycle as much as she could alongside her father.

She wrote: 'I just can't wait for us to upcycle and make things in here together. Dad has worked so hard his whole life to look after us all and I felt like I could finally give him something back.'
