Mrs Hinch chokes back tears as she returns to social media following her father’s death and emotionally details her struggle to manage her ‘rollercoaster of grief’

Mrs Hinch fought back tears as she made an emotional return to social media on Monday following the heartbreaking death of her father.

In May, the cleaning lady announced that her father Alan had died suddenly in his sleep on April 25, a month after being admitted to hospital with breathing problems.

In the months since, Mrs Hinch (real name Sophie Hinchcliffe) has taken a step back from social media, save for a few rare posts, as she attempts to come to terms with her loss.

This week, Mrs Hinch took to her Instagram stories to tell her 4.8 million followers about her struggle to cope with the ‘rollercoaster of grief’ following the death of her father.

As she spoke into the camera, she tried to keep her emotions in check, describing how her loss felt like an “out-of-body experience” while thanking her fans and husband for their support.

In May, the cleaning lady announced that her father Alan had died suddenly in his sleep on April 25, a month after being admitted to hospital with breathing problems.

She said, “Hi everybody, how are you all doing? How are you all doing? I think this is the first time I feel well enough to just come here and chat.

“I think anyone who has followed me for a while or knows me and my family knows that I am very blessed to have been able to spend most of my days with my dad.

“And yeah, I think anyone who has lost a parent knows exactly what’s happening right now.”

Trying to hold back her tears, she continued: ‘I thought I had been through a lot in the past, but this is a whole new world.

“But I’m doing exactly what my father would expect of me: staying strong, carrying on, taking care of my mother, the house, and the boys.”

With a breaking voice, Mrs Hinch thanked her husband Jamie for his continued support during what was a very difficult time for her.

She said: ‘Jamie is an absolute… he’s held my whole life together for the last few months, so thank you Jamie.

‘When you’ve had something like that, it’s a bit like an out-of-body experience. The world looks different, feels different, smells different, just everything is different.

‘My loving father, Our boys beloved grandpa, Your workshop is locked and I sleep with the key. I promise to keep your workshop dream going.

‘Til we meet again and sing together. Goodnight dad. My absolute king. Your Bubberloo.

‘Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but can’t. All that unspent love collects in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.’

In her heartfelt statement, Sophie did not reveal the cause of her father’s death.
