22 Kids and Counting family say they are struggling to keep their electricity meter topped up

The cost of living crisis is proving to be tough for many people, including Noel and Sue Radford who are parents to 22 children. They star in the Channel 5 series 22 Kids & Counting.

In a recent episode, Noel and Sue spoke about how they were struggling to keep their smart meter topped up during the cost of living crisis. Mum Sue said: “It’s ridiculous, I’m sure I put £50 on that yesterday morning. This is getting beyond a joke, it really is ridiculous.”

Dad Noel added: “We have a top-up thing which we like. It’s handy because you keep on top of your bills and you don’t run up a big bill, but it’s just getting crazy stupid, we feel like we’re down the shop every day topping up.”
