Mum of Britain's biggest family, Sue Radford, issues statement after horror car crash

Sue Radford, mum of Britain's biggest family, has issued a statement after being involved in a dramatic car crash which has left her family motor mangled.

The star of 22 Kids and Counting took to social media to tell her fans that she had been involved in a collision but reassured that no one was injured.

Sue, 47, posted a photo on Instagram of the road to her 507,00 followers. In the image, a police van and fire appliance can be seen in the background. She added that everyone was safe and she was 'so grateful' no children were in the car.

As the Mirror reports, Sue said: "Everyone was ok. 'Not how I expected my day to go but thankfully everyone was ok

''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.''

It comes just days after Sue and husband Noel announced they were taking a break from filming.

The couple and their family have been documenting what their life is like for three series with Channel 5. They show what it's like living in their house, doing their own home improvements, running their business as well as making big Sunday morning breakfasts for them all.

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.'

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.

"So chuffed to say our programme was no.1 on Ch5 most Sundays and doing really well on my5 every week with it being the most watched programme on my5.

"We are currently having a well earned little break from filming before heading into filming series 4 which we are very excited about."

Sue also recently revealed the pressures of running their business in the earlier years and the 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."
