Mrs Hinch claps back at pregnancy claims and says her weight is 'not biggest priority'

Mrs Hinch has hit back at pregnancy claims after she was flooded with comments claiming she was 'hiding' a baby bump. The influencer, whose name is Sophie Hinchcliffe but is known to her millions of followers as Mrs Hinch, took to Instagram after she was questioned over a photo with best pal Stacey Solomon.

Taking to Instagram last week, Sophie posed alongside Stacey, who is heavily pregnant with her fifth child, and the TV star's sister Jemma as they attended a friend's book launch. Stacey shared the string of images to her Instagram grid and said: "A day with my sister from birth and sisters not from the start, but that fate brought together to be sisters by heart," the Loose Women star penned. "So grateful for these women in my life," she added.

Stacey, who is due to give birth any day now, looked radiant as she posed in a figure-hugging pink dress. She added a white coat over the long-sleeved number and kept her blonde locks styled into classic curls. Sophie, meanwhile, looked just as glam in a figure-hugging classic black pinafore dress which she wore over a white shirt and paired with some long black boots.

While the compliments flooded in for Stacey as they marvelled at her gorgeous baby bump, others were left distracted by what Mrs Hinch is doing in the picture as they noticed she was hiding behind Stacey. She later explained it was just the way the photo was taken but she has since come back onto social media to address comments that she too is pregnant.

Posting a typed note to her Instagram Story, Sophie first spoke about signings for her new book, Welcome to Hinch Farm, inspired by her life at home with his husband, their two children and their gang of Alpacas. The 32-year-old explained that her body has "changed not only in size but in shape" since having sons Ronnie, three, and 19-month-old Lennie.

Sophie wrote: "I have seen a lot of comments even articles that I am pregnant. I can confirm I am not." She went on to say that she may think of having another child "in a few years" before saying: "But for now I have two toddlers and a full time job that I can even manage with now.

"So maybe I just had too much chocolate over Christmas. Who knows. However, my weight is no longer my biggest priority which at one point in my life, sadly it really was." Mrs Hinch then shared how she feels unrecognisable as her body continues to adapt after the birth of her first child.

She added: "When I fell pregnant with Ron (my first book signing back in 2019) I was a size 6/8, my body since then has changed not only in size but shape... Everything! It's something I am still trying to adapt to, I feel unrecognisable to my myself if I'm honest. I have been blessed to grow two healthy babies and that changed my life for the better. I just hope this clears the speculation up."
