Mrs Hinch is forced to quash pregnancy speculation

‘I’m just struggling to lose weight’: Mrs Hinch is forced to quash pregnancy speculation as fan points out ‘bump’… 12 years after £6k gastric band surgery

Mrs Hinch was forced to deny pregnancy speculation when a fan pointed out a ‘bump’ in response to one of her Instagram stories last week. 

The cleaning sensation, 33, real name Sophie Hinchliffe, took to Instagram to share a selfie in a new dress and proclaimed that despite ‘not feeling good in a dress for over three years’, she loved the gown from ‘the most incredible boutique ever’. 

Despite the uplifting nature of her post, a thoughtless follower replied to the story simply writing: ‘Is there a bump there’, with a thinking and heart emoji, to which she replied: ‘No sorry I’m just struggling to lose weight x’. 

She then added another caption on the story, writing: ‘Here we go again… So just to clear up any speculations. No I am not pregnant.’ 

Mrs Hinch has been incredibly candid about her body battles in the past and revealed in her autobiography that she had lost a dramatic eight stone after undergoing a £6,000 gastric band surgery when she was 21.

After suffering a slew of health repercussions from the weight loss surgery, she has battled with her body ever since and appeared to show she has been plagued with pregnancy speculation ever since from fans and followers. 

Beneath her original selfie, she penned: ‘I have not felt good in a dress for over three years but I found the most incredible dress boutique EVER guys. Wow dresses for such a reasonable price tag!’

It was then she was forced to fend off the weight and baby question. 

Sophie has previously spoken about her ill-fated decision to have a gastric band in an interview with the Daily Mail. She said: ‘The surgery works for some people. But for me, if I had known the complications and risks, I wouldn’t have done it.’

Surgeons were able to move the band during an emergency operation. The contraption no longer works but has not been removed. 

After battling issues with self-confidence, Sophie piled on weight in her late teens.

‘I’d just passed my driving test, so I was able to go out in the car and get takeaways at McDonald’s Drive-Thrus,’ she said. ‘Before I knew it, I was eating for what felt like eating’s sake.’

Aged 21, she took out a bank loan to pay for the gastric band procedure.

But in addition to the slipped band, her dramatic eight-stone weight loss left excess skin on her arms. 

An operation to remove the skin in 2016 led to a serious infection and for a time she feared her left arm would have to be amputated. 

In her book Hinch Yourself Happy, she said: ‘I kept getting problems with excess skin. It was getting inflamed and blistering. It was painful.

‘If I bought a size 10 or 12 top or jacket in a shop, it would fit me everywhere else but not the arms. I was smaller but I still couldn’t buy clothes in the size I actually was.’

After getting the skin removed, she developed an infection on her left arm, which caused both arms to ‘blow up to three times their size’.  

Sophie wrote: ‘They had to drain them urgently and blast the IV with antibiotics.

‘I ended up staying in hospital for two weeks and I genuinely thought I was going to lose my left arm at one point.’

Sophie has now recovered from the traumatic ordeal and is now a mother Ronnie and Lennie with husband Jamie.
