Britain’s biggest family ready to break new record as daughter falls pregnant

The UK's biggest ever family is set to increase once again, as third eldest Chloe announced her pregnancy with her partner Jake.

As reported by The Mirror, 26-year-old Chloe confirmed she is expecting her first child with a picture of her bump on Instagram, much to her parents' - Sue and Noel Radford - delight.

On Instagram, Chloe wrote: "Mum and dad. Feeling blessed, grateful and full of so much love. We can’t wait to meet our little one this year."

The family Instagram page, ran by mum Sue, commented as well, saying: "So so excited 2022 is going to me an AMAZING year."

Make-up artist Chloe had moved out of the family home and in with her partner Jake, now no longer being the oldest Radford child living at home.

In 2021, Chloe revealed that both she and Jake did want kids - but insisted they'd want "three kids max" - compared to her 21 other siblings.

The Radfords broke world records at being Britain's largest family, with 22 kids in total.

Chloe is the third oldest with Chris, 32, and Sophie, 27, above her. After that, it goes in order of: 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 stars of Channel 5 show "22 Kids and Counting", and they also run a family bakery business, The Radford Pie Company.

Parents Sue and Noel already have seven grandchildren, with Chloe's little one set to be the eighth addition.

Eldest son Chris, who moved out of the family home first 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.

20-year-old 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 a whopping £1 million raising their kids so-far, adding that she has been pregnant for more than 16 years of her life.

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