Mrs Hinch rushed to hospital just weeks after giving birth

Sophie Hinchliffe, best known as Mrs Hinch, has revealed to her followers that she has been rushed to hospital with a blood clot in her leg.

‘I had a blood clot in my groin/pelvis/leg area,’ she told her followers on her Instagram story on Thursday night.

‘I haven’t had one since 2018, and then another one decides to hit me three weeks postpartum. What a 12 months it’s been.’

The star added that she’d managed to have an emergency operation to resolve the medical situation.

‘They managed to go in through my leg. They didn’t go through in my neck in the end.

‘They hoovered out the blood clot and they hoovered my stents out. They’ve literally hoovered me which is ironic isn’t it?’ She then joked, ‘Wasn’t a Shark.’

‘I think I’ve still got quite a lot of painkillers or anaesthetic in my system so I’m probably not making sense.’

She explained that she wanted to tell her fans that she was in hospital as to not worry people who were messaging her. She added that she wouldn’t be in hospital for too much longer.

‘I can go home tomorrow. They’ve said I can go home tomorrow, and I can’t wait to smell my boys. Pick up Vinnie, that newborn smell.

‘Oh my god I feel like I’m taking withdrawal symptoms from him.’
