Looks like 19 kids are not enough for Britain’s biggest family as they are expecting baby number 20!

In a recent Facebook post, the Radford family, who are also stars of the TV show, 19 Kids And Counting, have announced that they are adding to their brood of 19 kids that would bring them an even 10 children of each gender if mum Sue and dad Noel will be blessed with a girl.

Sue met Noel when she was just seven years old and their families lived in the same area. Years later, they became romantically involved when Noel began hanging out with her older brother.

She fell pregnant with their first child when she was only 14, and married when she was 17. Since then, their love grew figurtively…and literally!

They are proud parents to Chris (28,) Sophie (22), Chloe (21), Jack (19), Daniel (17), Luke (15), Millie (14), Katie (13), James (12), Ellie (11), Aimee (10), Josh (9), Max (7), Tilly (6), Oscar (4), Casper (3), Hallie (2), and 8-month-old Phoebe. They even have three grandchildren!

In 2014, the couple would have had their 17th child, Alfie, but he was stillborn at 21 weeks, which left the family heartbroken.

Despite their huge size, Noel and Sue don’t claim any state benefits aside from regular child benefit.
