EXCLUSIVE: The stars of 22 Kids And Counting have opened up on their shared personal motive for adding to their family, despite ruling out having more children of their own
While Sue Radford could be forgiven for wanting to put her feet up once her 22 kids are all off her hands, the mother of the UK's largest family – stars of Channel 5's 22 Kids And Counting – has other ideas.
“When they started to move out it was hard as a mum and strange not to have them all together. I dread the thought of an empty nest but know it will happen one day.Her and husband Noel’s own love story began 35 years ago when they met as teenagers in Kendal in the Lake District. They married in 1992 when Sue was 17 and they were already parents to Chris, now 34.
“The whole thing took its toll on me and Noel. Looking back now, I can see that we would never, ever have called it a day but when you’re in that highly-pressurised moment it’s hard to see a way out . Sue is up by 7am to begin the military operation that is breakfast while Noel has already been to work and is back at home to help with the morning rush.“We have them doing things in a particular order - older ones go upstairs to get themselves ready while I help the smaller ones. It’s Bedlam by the shoe rack!” reveals Sue.
As well as a thriving bakery business - and their TV show now in its fourth series - the couple steer a suite of hugely successful social media channels, from TikTok to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.Fans have approached their home and taken photos, sometimes while the kids are playing in the garden. The family are in the process of moving to a more secluded property.
“My mindset changed when my dad passed away. I thought - if we want to be able to go on holiday and make memories with our children then why should we be judged? “When I challenged her she told me she thought ‘a lot of people’ wanted to give me the same look. It was awful.” With parents everywhere struggling to protect children from the worst of social media, Sue is hyper vigilant with her own.
