Mum of Britain’s biggest family, Sue Radford, in horror smash

The mum of Britain's biggest family has been involved in a dramatic car crash which has left her car a wreck. Sue Radford, who is mum to 22 children, has since confirmed that no one was injured in the road accident.

The 47-year-old TV told her many thousands of Instagram fans that her car had been involved in the horrific collision. Sharing a picture of the street with a police van and a fire engine in the background, Sue confirmed everyone was safe and said she was "so grateful" no children were in the car.

"Everyone was ok. 'Not how I expected my day to go but thankfully everyone was ok," Sue wrote.

She added to the post: ''The car isn't but it's only metal and can be sorted. So thankful I didn't have the kids in the car though, also thank you to all who stopped to ask if I was ok.''

Just days earlier, Sue and husband Noel had issued a statement about taking a break from filming. The couple have been showing fans what it's like in their household for three series now with their Channel 5 programme, which documents their home and business lives.

Ahead of filming a fourth series, the couple and their family issued a statement to fans, thanking them for their support as they take a 'well earned break' ahead of the next lot of filming. They took to social media to share: "We just want to say a huge thank you for all the love and support you’ve shown throughout our series, we truly appreciate each and every comment and message we’ve received so thank you.

Sue recently revealed the pressures of running the business in the earlier years and that bankruptcy nearly caused them to divorce. She said: "You would go to bed thinking about the debt, wake up thinking about the debt, wake up in the night thinking about the debt.

If anything would have caused us to get a divorce, it was this shop. Looking back now, it was a time where I genuinely thought our marriage would not pull through. We’d get divorced and that would be it. It was absolutely awful."

The most recent series saw the family through exciting times as the brood got even bigger with the arrival of two more of Sue and Noel's grandchildren. Fans will have to keep an eye out for further updates and clues as to when the Radfords will return to Channel 5 again.
