New photo Father of Britain's biggest family opens up about baby number TWENTY ONE

A father-of-21 has revealed what it's like to be at the helm of Britain's biggest family, after welcoming the latest addition to the huge brood. 

Noel and Sue Radford from Morecambe, Lancashire, welcomed heir 21st child, a girl called Bonnie Raye, earlier this month after a labour of just 12 minutes.

And in a new video about family life, Noel, 47, - who runs a bakery - said that the joy is just the same as it was when their first child Christopher was born almost 30 years ago. 

'Just because we've got 21 doesn't change our feelings towards having a new baby at all. It's just as exciting now as it was with our very first.'

Their new arrival has joined Chris, Sophie, Chloe, Jack, Daniel, Luke, Millie, Katie, James, Ellie, Aimee, Josh, Max, Tillie, Oscar, Casper, Hallie, Phoebe, and Archie.

Sue added, in the short film for Zanussi, that the best thing about having such a large family is that 'the kids are never lonely', while her daughter Chloe agreed: 'There's a lot of love and there's just so much fun in the house.'

However Sue did admit to some downsides, saying: 'Two things that are the most difficult are the laundry and the cooking.

'You're going to have a lot of clothes and washing I do not like putting it all away.'

The 43-year-old gave birth to her 20th child, Archie, in September last year, and she promised at the time that it would be her last.

The couple, from Morecambe, Lancashire, first met when Sue was just seven years old.

They had their first child, Chris, 28 years ago, when Sue was aged only 14. The couple decided to keep the baby as they were both given up for adoption at birth.

The couple then moved into their first home together and got married. Shortly afterwards they welcomed their second child, Sophie, when Sue was 17. 

Mrs Radford lost a boy, Alfie in 2014, who was stillborn, but he is still very much part of the family. 

Mrs Radford (pictured with her children on holiday when they appeared on a Channel 4 documentary said after their last child that she was happy to stop on an 'even number'

The family have also made regular TV appearances, including 

A whole lot of mouths to feed! The Radford family's budget

The couple receive £170 per week in Child Benefit and survive on Noel's just under £50,000 salary.

They spend around £300 a week on food shopping and carefully plan their batch-cook to make sure it feeds everyone. 

The shopping list includes:

• 18 pints of milk


• Three litres of juice 


• Three boxes of cereal being consumed every day

They have a budget of £100 for their children's presents at birthdays, while at Christmas they set aside between £100 to £250. 

They became grandparents when their daughter Sophie gave birth and she has gone on to have three children.

The family now live in a large £240,000 Victorian house, a former care home, that they bought 11 years ago and they pride themselves on having no credit cards or finance agreements. They also enjoy a holiday abroad every year.

They spend £300 a week on food shopping, with 18 pints of milk, three litres of juice and three boxes of cereal being consumed every day.

When it comes to celebrating their children's birthdays they have a budget of £100 for presents, while at Christmas they set aside between £100 to £250.

Her husband had a vasectomy during his wife's ninth pregnancy but had it reversed when they decided to have more children.

In 2013, the couple starred in the Channel 4 show, 16 Kids and Counting and were filmed in their ten-bedroom home.

The following year, Mrs Radford - who does not receive state handouts apart from child benefit, lost a boy, called Alfie, when she was 23 weeks' pregnant. 

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE RADFORDS: HOW BRITAIN'S BIGGEST FAMILY SPENDS A TYPICAL DAY  

After an early start in the bakery, Mr Radford returns home every day at 7.45am to sort out the children and get them to nursery at school.

All their uniforms are washed and laid out the night before, while breakfast is staggered into two shifts. 

Six of the children are at the same primary school ten minutes away and five are at secondary school. Noel drives them in a minibus which, as it carries more than nine passengers, is entitled to use bus lanes.

Meanwhile, the three youngest, Oscar, Caspar and Hallie, remain at home with Sue, though Oscar goes to nursery in the afternoons.

The family do nine loads of washing a day, get through 30 bottles of washing liquid every month and use four toilet rolls a day.

Incredibly they manage to feed the family on £300 a week, feeding them all pasta or a large stew using deals with their local butcher and greengrocer.

Bathtime at home begins around 6pm and while the younger ones will be bathed and in bed by about 7pm, the older ones stay up until 9pm. 

Mr and Mrs Radford say they are in bed by 10pm.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
