Mrs. Hinch said that her four-year-old son Ronnie was given the all-clear after being diagnosed with Kawasaki illness.
The boy was sent to the hospital in June after developing the uncommon illness that damages blood vessels in youngsters and causes inflammation.
Mrs Hinch – actual name Sophie Hinchcliffe – claimed that she had “never felt a panic like it” in the face of the alarm at the time.
Mum-of-two Mrs Hinch, 33, who also has a two-year-old son named Lennie with her husband Jamie, updated her 4.7 million Instagram followers on Sunday.
Alongside an adorable photo of Ronnie and Lennie sitting on the sofa in matching white T-shirts and shorts, holding signs that read ‘Time to catch our flight’ and ‘Goodbye everyone’, she wrote: ‘✈️And we’re off ✈️
‘We have had the most amazing results from Ronnie’s most recent heart scan guys … they are all clear 😭
‘The Kawasaki disease was caught and treated quick enough meaning Ron’s heart has NOT been effected [sic] by the disease.’
The social media star and cleaning influencer added: ‘He will continue to be monitored for a while, but the relief is a feeling I can’t even describe right now.’
‘We actually held off telling the boys or packing cases because we were ready to cancel in all honesty. But doctors orders 😆 go and have fun in the sun he said. Enjoy and make the BEST family memories ☀️
‘So we told the boys this morning and they’re so excited to head to the airport. I can’t believe it and feeling so thankful 🙏🏼 see you soon everyone, I’ll catch up with you all once we are there! Have a wonderful week ❤️ Xxx’
Friends celebrated the good news in the comments, with broadcaster Vanessa Feltz posting: ‘Have a wonderful time sweetheart ⭐️⭐️🌸🌸🎉🎉’
‘This is the best news have a fabulous time all of you 😍,’ replied another pal.
Mrs. Hinchcliffe later returned to thank her followers for their support.
‘Thank you so much everyone ❤️🥹 catch up with you all once we get there ❤️ xxx,’ she wrote.
In her Stories she also linked to her post, which she said contained ‘the best results ever for our Ron’.
After 10 days in hospital last month, Mrs Hinch had praised her son for being ‘SO brave, SO strong, SO loved and just beautifully unique, darling boy’.
The doting mum went on: ‘We have spent the past 10 days living what felt like a real-life nightmare. But I just wanted to thank you all for so many kind messages and update you all.’
Mrs Hinch continued: ‘Ron’s temp spiked 40 at home, I phoned an ambulance. Ron was admitted and IV antibiotics started but NOTHING was working, in fact Ronnie deteriorated.
‘The incredible doctors and nurses started every blood test and scan you can imagine. We paced rooms and corridors for days just waiting for an answer, a result … anything!
‘Seeing Ron this way kicked me with a fear and desperation I’ve never felt in my whole life.’
Mrs Hinch detailed Ronnie’s ailment, saying, ‘Ron was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, which I had never heard of before.
‘Kawasaki disease is a rare, non-contagious disease that only affects around eight in every 100,000 children under the age of five in the UK.’

She added: ‘This disease causes swelling of the blood vessels throughout the body. It can also affect the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle when not treated early enough.’
‘The main symptoms to look out for include a persistent high temperature, body rash, swelling and then peeling of the hands and feet, red blistered lips, bloodshot eyes, strawberry tongue, inflamed sore throat and swollen lymph glands.’
Mrs Hinch concluded: ‘This past week has shaken our whole world as a family. I’ve never felt a fear like it. But I need to say THANKYOU to the incredible team at Broomfield hospital, St Marys and Great Ormond street.
‘Thank you for answering our prayers and making our Ronnie better, his little smile says it all so thank you.’
