More recently, the mum-of-one has also been sharing cooking tips and tricks with her 3.4 million followers.

Her latest is a clever way to preserve chives, reports the Daily Star.

The housework whiz makes ice cubes out of the fresh herbs to make them last longer.

When she needs them she simply pops them out of the tray and when the ice melts Mrs Hinch is left with fresh herbs that haven't gone to waste.

Sharing the simple hack on social media, Mrs Hinch wrote: "I'm just going to freeze my chives and then decide what's for lunch."

Mrs Hinch starts by chopping up chives and putting them inside the ice cube tray before using cooled water from the kettle to pour over the top.

She wrote: "I've just used cooled water from the kettle.

"Can’t wait to pop one of these out soon."

So far Mrs Hinch has used the chive cubes in sweet potato mash.

She told her followers: "This little chive ice cube and some cream cheese cooled the sweet potato down perfectly. I love it!"
