Britain's biggest family the Radfords set to get larger as daughter falls pregnant

Britain's biggest family is about to grow by one - as daughter Chloe announced she is pregnant with her first child.

Chloe, 26, the third eldest child of parents-of-22 Sue and Noel Radford, confirmed she and partner Jake Wallace are expecting with a post of her bump on Instagram.

She captioned the image: "Mum and dad. Feeling blessed, grateful and full of so much love. We can’t wait to meet our little one this year."

The Radford family Instagram account then commented on the image to echo Chloe's joy.

The comment read: "So so excited 2022 is going to me an AMAZING year."

Chloe, a make-up artist, moved in with Jake recently after being the oldest Radford child still living at home.

Last year she revealed she and her partner were keen to start a family - but stressed she only wanted "three kids max".

The Radfords are the UK's biggest family, with 22 children in total.

Chloe is sister to Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, 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.

The family are the stars of Channel 5 show "22 Kids and Counting" and also run a bakery business, The Radford Pie Company.

Sue and Noel also have seven grandchildren already, with Chloe's newborn set to be their eighth.

Eldest son Chris, who moved out of the family home but lives nearby in Morecambe, has three kids with his wife Nicole.

They are Maisie, four, Jacob, two, and baby Nicholas, who was born in September last year.

Meanwhile eldest daughter Sophie and her husband Joe are parents to Daisy, nine, Ayprill, seven, and Leo, five.

Daughter Millie, who still lives in the family home, has a baby girl named Ophelia, born in 2020.

Parents Sue and Noel have previously claimed they won't be having anymore children themselves following the birth of their youngest Heidie.

Sue stated that they have spent £1 million raising their kids so-far, adding that she has been pregnant for more than 16 years of her life.

She told The Mirror last year: "No, we are not having any more. Definitely 100% not."
