Mrs Hinch celebrates her son Vinnie's first birthday with a lavish Super Rabbit-themed party as she says he's 'helped to heal her heart' after her father's tragic death

Mrs Hinch celebrated her son Vinnie's first birthday with a lavish party at their home on Wednesday.

The cleaning mogul, 36, shared a collection of snaps showing her youngest son at the Super Rabbit-themed party, which included colourful balloons, rabbit ears and a three-tiered cake.

Mrs Hinch, whose real name is Sophie Hinchcliffe, posted adorable videos showing an excited Vinnie sporting a pair of animal ears to look just like the French cartoon Super Rabbit, or Simon.

In a caption, the influencer said her youngest son has 'helped to heal her heart' after being left devastated by her father Alan's tragic death in 2024.

She wrote: 'Happy 1st Birthday to our very special Vinnie Alan. You are the cuddliest, smiliest, happiest little boy, and a hug from you each day feels like pure comfort. 

'You have no idea how much you've helped mend our hearts this past year. You are our sunshine, our heart healer, our blessing, and the sweetest reminder that love lives on.

'You came into our lives during our deepest grief and somehow brought light back into our world. You carry Grandad's name, his strength, and his love.

'We love you more than words could ever say, today and always, Our Vin Vin.'

Last month, Sophie shared her devastation after thieves broke into her mother's home and stole her late father's jewellery.

In a post on Instagram, Sophie became emotional as she spoke about the impact the burglary had on her mother.

Speaking in an Instagram video, she told fans: 'I just feel so sad for my mum because to have her jewellery stolen is one thing but when it's things like your engagement ring, your wedding ring, your eternity ring and obviously from my dad, it's just really stung. 

'But like mum said, we're not going to get it take from the good times we've had this month. We've had some amazing things happen in January so we're going to hold on to them. 

'I can't believe how many shares the jewellery got, to get it out there. I'm so grateful to every single one of you who shared that. 

'Sadly it hasn't come back to us, I can't see it happening now. I don't want to lose hope but I also don't have much hope for it coming back.'

It comes after Sophie said her mother feels like she's 'taken a step back' and has been left 'shaken' by the whole ordeal. 

Speaking about her mother to The Sun, she said: 'She’s understandably shaken. We all are. She’s being incredibly strong.

'The jewellery holds deep sentimental value to her, particularly as a connection to my dad, and that’s what hurts most right now.

'More than anything, I just want to be able to get the jewellery back for my mum.'

Elsewhere in the interview, Sophie revealed that she has asked her mother to move in with her temporarily. 

However, her mother values her independence and enjoys being in her own home, which Sophie understands and respects, so the family are allowing her to 'lead the way' with any decisions.

Elsewhere in the interview, Sophie shared an update on whether or not there had been any leads in the burglary. 

She revealed the police are aware and are 'fully involved' and supporting where they can, while the area is also being watched over and camera footage is being investigated.

Sophie took to her Instagram on Tuesday to call out the individuals for 'ripping away what little her grieving mother had left' and issued a plea for the sentimental jewellery to be returned.

'I can't believe I'm writing this. To the vile individuals who broke into my parents' home in Maldon today, 27th January, between 10am and 6pm,' she wrote.

'You broke into a grieving woman's home and stole her jewellery! Items that belonged to my late dad. Sentimental, irreplaceable pieces that you had NO right to touch.

'Let me be very clear!!! This WILL NOT be dropped. That jewellery may be worthless to you, but it's priceless to my mum. She has already lost her husband and is trying to piece her life together, and you chose to violate her home and rip away what little she had left of him.

'You knew exactly what you were doing. This is beyond theft!! It is cruel, disgusting, and cowardly.'

Sophie announced her father's death on Instagram in May 2024, a month after he was hospitalised with respiratory issues.

She wrote at the time: '25th April 2024. My precious Dad passed suddenly but so peacefully whilst he slept. My life, our whole world, has been turned upside down.

'A deep unimaginable pain I cannot put into words.

'My loving Dad, Our boys beloved Grandad, Your workshop is locked up and I sleep with the key. I promise to keep your workshop dream going.

'Until we meet and sing together again. Goodnight Dad My absolute king. Your Bubberloo.

'Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.'

Sophie did not reveal her father's cause of death in the heartfelt statement.

Sophie paid tribute to her father when she welcomed her third son, Vinnie, last year. She gave him the middle names Alan and Barker (her maiden name).

The couple are already proud parents to sons Ronnie, six, and Lennie, four.

The influencer - who has 4.8 million followers on Instagram - previously spoke about the heartbreaking loss of her father.

She told The Sun last November: 'I feel like I've been in hibernation

'I don't really know how to talk about grief. I can't put it into words. One minute, you feel crazy because it's changed my life beyond words. Me, my family and the dynamic – everything has changed, but everything still just carries on.

'People think you are OK, but you're not. It's the club no one wants to be part of, but once you are in, then you can't get out.'
