Mrs Hinch has revealed “priceless” jewellery was stolen from her "grieving" mum's Essex home after a break-in this week.

On Tuesday, the Essex cleaning influencer and bestselling author posted on Instagram that her parents’ home in Maldon had been broken into between 10am and 6pm.

Mrs Hinch – whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe – said the “disgusting” thieves stole jewellery belonging to her late father Alan, who passed away almost two years ago.

Mrs Hinch said in an Instagram story: “To the vile individuals who broke into my parents’ home in Maldon today, 27th January, between 10am and 6pm!!

“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.

“Return the jewellery. Leave it anonymously. Hand it in somewhere. Do the right thing!!!” she added.

“No one deserves this!!!! Especially not my mum.”

The influencer, who has 4.8million followers on Instagram, previously spoke about the loss of her father and paid tribute to him when she welcomed her third son Vinnie last year, giving him the middle name Alan.
