Mrs Hinch announces she’s pregnant with third child as she reveals gender in emotional video

Huge congratulations to Sophie Hinchliffe - aka Mrs Hinch - who has announced she's expecting her third baby.

Sophie, 34 - who is already mum to two boys, Ronnie and Lennie - took to Instagram to announce the news, also revealing the gender of her third child.

Mrs Hinch had been taking a break from social media over the last few months after her dad sadly passed away earlier this year in April.

At the time, Sophie shared the devastating news with her followers. Posting photos of her father, including an image of them both on her wedding day, she wrote: "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.

"My loving Dad, Our boys beloved Grandad, 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."

Sophie later posted about the pain of explaining to her children that their grandad 'wasn't coming back'.

"Explaining to your children, that their loved one is never coming back, is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life," she said.

"Life has certainly changed forever but as parents we find that fight to get up, to walk, talk and just try to smile through the rollercoaster that is grief. If you too are facing this right now I’m sending all my love."

Announcing her baby news on social media on Sunday (3 November), Sophie shared a touching message about her dad, explaining they'd received 'a special gift from above'.

“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," she wrote.

"ILYD... Ronnie and Lennies Baby Brother... Our Baby Boy No.3 Joining us in 2025... The 3 Musketeers.

"Bring on the absolute carnage boys @mrhinchhome."

In the emotional video, the boys can be seen making handprints on the wall as Sophie and her husband Jamie write 'baby boy #3' in blue paint.

Sophie can later be seen cradling her bump in the mirror, writing on her Instagram Story: "Hello everyone... We have some special news."

Friends and fans have since shared their congratulations.

Stacey Solomon commented: "I love you. And I’m so so happy for this beautiful blessing on all of you. Dad must be beaming."

Molly-Mae Hague added: "Oh my goodness. I am so so so happy for you."

While Charlotte Dawson wrote: "Soooo happy for you all."
