MRS Hinch's dad suffered life-long "chest, lung and heart" problems and endured a three-week hospital stint before his death.
Sophie Hinchcliffe announced her dad Alan's death in a heartbreaking Instagram post this morning.
Back in April the cleanfluencer fought back tears as she revealed she was taking a break from social media to support her dad.
At the time, she said: "My dad is in hospital at the moment guys. My dad has never been blessed shall we say with fantastic health.
"From his chest, his lungs, his heart. He's always struggled you know. I just want him to be happy."

Mrs Hinch said "incredible" nurses had looked after her dad during his three-week hospital stint.
In a post this morning, she said: "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."
Last August Mrs Hinch gave fans a long-awaited tour of "Hinch Farm" including a dining room furnished by Alan.
She said: "Call me mad. My dad made this table, he made the table that's down there.
"Really special pieces from my dad up here. I love having bits from my dad all around the house."
Alan also made a custom homeware range for the beautiful Essex farmhouse.
