Instagram cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch has revealed what she used to do before she was polishing her sink on social media.
Sophie Hinchcliffe, 29, has racked up over three million followers by showcasing her grey-inspired home, putting pine bleach down her loo and dusting and buffing her home with her 'cloth family' for over two years.
Her loyal army of 'Hinchers' love her tips and hacks and have watched her family grow as she had her first child, Ronnie, last year.
You may be forgiven for thinking that perhaps Mrs Hinch was a professional cleaner before hitting Instagram.
But in a Q&A on her stories yesterday, she revealed the list of jobs she did before social media fame.
While travelling back home from London, where she is working on another secret project, Mrs Hinch invited her fans to ask her questions.
One said: "What was you job before you were Mrs Hinch?"
She said: "So I've had a few jobs since I left school. I've worked as a waitress. An after school club as a nursery assistant. Call centre office. Job board sales. And a hairdresser."
She was also asked about tips on creating a successful Instagram account, she said: "Be you and only you. Don't follow the crowd!
"To this day I still don't know how/why my Insta following is so big! But I do know it'll never change me as a person!
"I've had three followers, I've had three million followers, but I still do what I've always done!
"Also never share or work with a company you don't genuinely love! I share what I love and avoid what I don't!
"Regardless of money. Money can't buy honesty! Remember that x x"
The mum-of-one also said the best thing about her Instagram fame was the fans, because she "never feels alone".
But the worst is the "anonymous trolls", she added: "Why is it OK to make up lies and crazy conspiracy theories about someone, pull their appearance apart and make them feel sick to the stomach because of it?
"To me it is disgusting! I know I couldn't sleep at night if I did that to someone!"
Mrs Hinch also hinted at more children, but said she was "not sure when yet", adding: "I know Ronnie is already six months now but I can honestly say I don't feel like my body or my hormones have fully recovered yet.
"My labour was amazingly straight forward, but my pregnancy was very traumatic."
