Mrs Hinch took to Instagram to update her almost 5 million followers, and told them she was recovering from emergency treatment for a groin blood clot.
The traumatic ordeal struck just three weeks after she gave birth to her third child, Vinnie.
Speaking on Instagram, an emotional Sophie said: "I had a blood clot in my groin / pelvis / leg area.
"I haven't had one since 2018 and then another one decides to hit me three weeks postpartum. What a 12 months it's been."

The new mum - adored for her home cleaning hacks - described in detail what happened.
Speaking from a hospital bed, she told her fans: "They managed to go in through my leg. They didn't go through in my neck in the end.
"They hoovered out the blood clot and they hoovered my stents out. They've literally hoovered me which is ironic isn't it?
"I think I've still got quite a lot of painkillers or anaesthetic in my system so I'm probably not making sense."
