The traumatic ordeal struck just three weeks after she gave birth to her third child.

"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."
But she also had some good news for her followers following the distressing revelation.
To her delight, the medics said she could go home on Friday.
Sophie said: "I cannot wait to just pick up Vinnie - that newborn smell. I'm swear I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from him."
She continued: "I've had a lovely FaceTime with the boys, that was amazing, and I should be back home in my newborn bubble with my little family tomorrow.
"I got put through a CT scan and they said there's no blood clot, you can go home. I went home; my leg got bigger and bigger.
"I came back to a different hospital and they scanned me and said we need to operate, you've got a big blood clot."
Reflecting on the ordeal, she said: "How mad is that? And that keeps playing on my mind. What if I didn't come back?
"Just trust your gut guys. Trust your bloody gut. Anyway over and out from me and blood clot.
"I can't wait to wake up in the morning and get home."
