Despite sharing her excitement about her upcoming move with fans just days ago, Sophie Hinchcliffe – aka cleaning influencer Mrs Hinch – has revealed that leaving her famous Hinch House wasn’t entirely voluntary.
The mum of two has forged a successful career sharing ingenious cleaning hacks with fans, with her former home almost as famous as the star herself.
But while she’s clearly excited about starting their “new chapter” at Hinch Farm, Sophie has now opened up about the real reason the family decided to move.

When one fan asked during a Q&A why she’d moved and added they “never thought you’d leave the Hinch house”, she replied, “If I’m honest neither did I.
“I won’t go into too much details because I wouldn’t want to give any satisfaction to the cruel person/people involved. But Jamie has wanted to move for a while due to a privacy issue which came about after we had extended the house, but I was in such a mess because I didn’t want to move.”

She continued, “I was crying to him saying ‘this is my home’, I didn’t want to lose it. So I promised him I could fix it, hence my weird tall basketball net looking trees which you may have noticed on my Stories at some point, also new panelled fencing with no holes, and a crazy CCTV system. I really did my best behind the scenes but it wasn’t enough in the end. Jamie was right… I was putting plasters over things and from that day I felt like I had lost my home and I was in a really low place.
“But everything happens for a reason doesn’t it? I’m so so grateful for my life and wouldn’t change a thing but a lot goes on behind closed doors and if only some people knew how much their selfish actions affect others. But they will not win! I will always love this house, but I will make Hinch Farm our forever home, where the boys will be so safe, and we will feel comfortable again.”
It comes after the Instagram sensation shared videos of herself unlocking the door to the new house before showing her fans the grand wooden staircase and Ronnie and pooch Henry running around the new pad.
Another clip saw the family playing in the huge garden, saying hello to some horses, showing off a workshop and screwing in a sign reading Hinch Farm on a fence.
She wrote, “This still doesn’t feel real and we will never be able to thank you all enough because without our crazy little insta world this wouldn’t be happening 😭 I can’t wait to take you all along with us!! welcome to our new home everyone … Hinch Farm 😭🐑🐓🦙 #newyear #newhome ♥️”.
Sophie is following in the footsteps of her best showbiz pal Stacey Solomon who also recently swapped the ‘Burbs for the countryside, moving into the aptly named Pickle Cottage with fiancé Joe Swash, her two sons from previous relationships Zachary and Leighton and the couples two kids of their own, Rex and Rose.
