The secret Radford family members we never see on screen – including those who actually make the clan even BIGGER
THE RADFORD family may be known for being the largest family in Britain, but it's even bigger than it seems.
Many members of the family choose to keep out of the spotlight, including some of Sue and Noel's 22 children.
They are parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 12, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.
Sadly the couple's 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.
While the couple have claimed they won't be having anymore babies, there's no guarantee the family won't get larger as they have changed their minds before.
Now the family appear on Channel 5's 22 Kids and Counting, but there are a few members of the family who won't make an appearance on the show.
“She thinks I will have eight, but that’s definitely not going to happen.
“When we told her about baby number three she was delighted, she’s always happy when a new baby is coming along."
Sue admitted to getting emotional just walking past Sophie's empty room when she did move out.
"Sophie, Joe and little Daisy moved out of the Radford house today and I can't bare to go past the bedroom without getting upset," wrote Sue.
Daughter, Millie, 20 gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Ophelia back in September 2020 and has also moved out of the home.
Millie revealed details of her traumatic birth as she was rushed into theatre due to birthing complications.
But thankfully both mum and baby made a full recovery.
One person no longer in the picture though, is Millie's ex-boyfriend, speaking in a Q&A video on the family's YouTube channel in 2020, Millie explained why.
"I'm not saying who he is because he's completely out of our lives," she said. "He's in a new relationship, we don't have anything to do with each other."
She continued: "We haven't had anything to do with each other for months – from pretty much the beginning of my pregnancy.
"He just wasn't happy to step up and be a dad so he's never been named."
Millie's own family is also expanding, as she is pregnant with a baby boy.
She has left fans guessing over his name as well as if he has been born yet, announcing her pregnancy the same day as her due date.
Chloe, the third eldest of the bunch moved out of the home in May 2021 to be with her boyfriend.
She announced the move on Instagram saying: "Few drinks to celebrate LIVING together!!"
Chloe has made it clear she will be having three children 'max'.
Earlier this year she revealed how she was expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Jake Wallis on Instagram.
She posted an image of Jake with her bump on Instagram and wrote: "Feeling blessed, grateful and full of so much love. We can’t wait to meet our little one this year."
Chloe will be adding grandchild number eight to the already massive family.
Sue was thrilled by the news and wrote in a comment: "So so excited 2022 is going to me an AMAZING year," as she and Noel have decided not to have anymore of their own.
During a Q&A session for their fans with their two eldest daughters, the couple explained that youngest daughter Heidie would be their final baby.
When asked if they were having any more children, Sue replied: "We have both decided that we don't want more children. This time we are definitely done! Heidi is definitely the last! That's that."
Noel added: "There will be no more little Radfords, not from us anyway."
Plus, Sue shows off high-tech fridge worth £6.5k to fit £400 weekly shop.
