Who would have thought that the Morecambe family, the Radfords, could actually be more than they are? Britain’s largest family, which lives in a former nursing home in Morecambe, consists of Sue, Noel and their 22 children. There is no guarantee that this will stop at 22 children, as Sue and Noel are notorious for changing their minds, having previously stated that they will not have any more children.

They are the parents of Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Cathy, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16 Amy, 15 years old, Josh. 14, Max, 12, Tilly, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidi, one. The Radfords first appeared in 2012 in the Channel 4 documentary 15 Kids and Counting, followed by 20 Kids and Counting in 2018 to mark their 25th wedding anniversary, according to The Mirror. They now have a program on Channel 5, 22 Kids and Counting, but there are some family members we don’t see on screen.

As the children grow up, they all branch out on their own and create families of their own. This inevitably means that the Radfords are getting bigger, partners are marrying into the family and grandchildren are being born. But you don’t see all family members on 22 Kids and Counting. Sue and Noel’s eldest son, Christopher, has moved out of the family home but lives nearby in Morecambe and has three children with his wife Nicole.
