The Radfords now have 10 girls and nine boys, ranging in age from 27 down to less than one week old, and three grandchildren.

However, the 41-year-old mum told The Sun it still may NOT be her last baby, adding: “Phoebe is so beautiful and I am happy to have her here safely for now but never say never.”

Last month, her husband, Noel also said: “We don’t plan to not have any more and we don’t plan to have any more. If it happens it happens, that’s how we roll.”

The family said they do not claim benefits and they manage a�family-owned bakery close by their home in Morecambe, Lancashire to sustain their needs.

The couple also revealed�what it takes to feed a family of 21. They said they go through 15 bags of potatoes, three loaves of bread, two boxes of cereal and 10 litres of milk each day. They also�own a mini bus just to get their children to school.

They spend�the equivalent of �$AUSD525�a week on groceries or�$52,000 a year bringing up their brood.

The couple are parents to 20, but, heartbreakingly they lost baby�Alfie at 23 weeks into the pregnancy in July 2014.

They told�The Sun�they got a huge surprise when they�had number 19 on the way in January and were delighted at the prospect of another baby.

After the birth of Phoebe, the couple haven’t ruled out baby number 20.

“I can’t rule it out. At the moment I am happy to have Phoebe with us, she is healthy and a little stunner,” Sue told UK media.
