In the post, the cleanfluencer said she will sleep with the key to Alan’s beloved workshop.
Mrs Hinch previously told how her dad made furniture including a wooden table and homeware range for her Essex farmhouse.
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.
In a 2022 post showing off the furniture, she said: “I know you’re reading this caption right now Dad.
“So I just wanted to say I love you so much Dad, we all do and this really is so special me.
“Thank you always. PS I need to learn to cook now!”
