Mrs Hinch praises late dad for 'special gift' as she announces pregnancy news
Mrs Hinch praised her late dad Alan for sending her a “special gift” as she announced the exciting news that she is expecting her third child. Mrs Hinch, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, revealed on Sunday, 3 November that she and husband Jamie are set to welcome their third child, a boy, into the world in 2025.
In an emotional Instagram post announcing the news, Mrs Hinch, 34, paid tribute to her beloved father Alan, who died “suddenly” earlier this year. In the post, the social media personality thanked her beloved father for having “sent” her a baby boy.
“”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,” she wrote. “Ronnie and Lennies Baby Brother. Our Baby Boy No. 3 Joining us in 2025 The 3 Musketeers Bring on the absolute carnage boys @mrhinchhome.”

The heartwarming tribute to her doting dad comes just seven months after her father Alan died. “25th April 2024. My precious Dad 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,” she wrote.
“My loving Dad, Your workshop is locked up and I sleep with the key. I promise to keep your workshop dream going. Until we meet and sing together again. Goodnight Dad My absolute king Your Bubberloo.”
She added: “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
Mrs Hinch and her beloved father had a very close bond and it seems as though DIY is in her blood and that she has followed in her dad’s footsteps when it comes to knowing how to make a house a home. When the TV personality moved into her ‘Hinch Farm’ home in January 2022, Mrs Hinch worked with her dad to transform the space, with her father making a table for her dining room.
And in another sweet tribute to her father, Mrs Hinch named her son, Lennie Alan James Hinchcliffe, after her dad. “Both me and Jamie loved the fact Lennie rhymes with Ronnie but also when shortened to Len rhymes with Hen,” she wrote in an Instagram Story in 2021. “Alan, Is my Dads name”.
