Just last year, after the birth of their youngest child, the Radford family vowed that they would not be expanding their brood any further. However, it seems that nature took its course and they have yet another bundle of joy on the way!
Sue and Noel Redford, the parents of Britain’s largest family, revealed today that they are expecting their 19th child.
The couple, who run a successful bakery together, took to their official website to share the wonderful news with the world.
Posting a photo of their little one’s ultrasound scan, they wrote: “We have some news to share!!!...Say hello to our precious new addition #19!!!”
The couple’s baby is due next July, and the entire family is super-excited to welcome another little addition.
Sue and Noel went on to reveal that they broke the news to the children by leaving the ultrasound photo on the fireplace. They then waited to see who would guess the news first – and that honour fell to four-year-old Tilly.
The Redfords swore after the birth of now eight-month-old Hallie last May that they were not planning to have any more children. They reportedly spend a whopping £30,000 a year on their 18 little darlings.
The new baby will be a little brother or sister to 25-year-old Chris, 21-year-old Sophie, 19-year-old Chloe, 17-year-old Jack, 15-year-old Daniel, 14-year-old Luke, 13-year-old Millie, 12-year-old Katie, 11-year-old James, nine-year-old Ellie, eight-year-old Aimee, seven-year-old Josh, six-year-old Max, four-year-old Tilly, three-year-old Oscar, two-year-old Casper, and eight-month-old Hallie. The couple also lost baby Alfie at 21 weeks.
Congratulations to the whole family on their wonderful news.
