Inside Millie Radford's family life away from her famous parents and their 22 kids

The Radfords have given millions a glimpse into their often-chaotic life as a family dubbed Britain's biggest brood.

Parents Sue and Noel have long documented everything from family birthdays, holidays and renovations of their Lancashire house.

However, Millie Radford has accused her 22 Kids and Counting star parents of making money out of their grandkids.

The accusation came after the couple did not take all of their grandkids on holiday to Florida.

Noel and Sue posted a video onto their social media, showing them surprising their grandkids with a break in the sunshine.

However, it didn't go down well for Millie, who took a screenshot of the video and posted it to her Instagram, alongside the caption: "Cute? But you've made money from all your grandchildren but choose your favourites. Said my piece."

She then accused her parents of leaving her and Ophelia out of the family trip, despite being a regular in the family's Channel 5 programme, 22 Kids and Counting. She continued: "I recall my kids being in the whole 22 Kids and Counting - not a single sight viewing of the rest in there. Bare 1 ep."

As the family tensions continue to boil over, we take a look into all we know about Millie Radford. She is the 22-year-old daughter of Noel and Sue Radford, and now has two children of her own, Ophelia Jo and Chester Bleu.

When Ophelia turned one, Millie posted to her Instagram the party she threw for her, including an impressive balloon display and treats for the youngster and guests, reports LancsLive.

Alongside the images on the post, Millie wrote: "Happy 1st birthday too my beautiful princess. 12 months of pure love ( and running rings around me). You make me feel like the proudest parent ever with how much of a clever little girl you are. Words can’t describe how greatful I am too have you as my daughter Ophelia. I LOVE YOU LOTS."

In February 2022, Millie announced she was pregnant with her second child, Chester, with a cute photo of her baby bump whilst holding Ophelia. She wrote: HAPPY DUE DATE little man. Ophelia is obsessed with her little brother already. 11•02•2022."

Weeks later, Chester made an appearance with a photo of her two children cuddling, taken by a professional photographer. The post states that his full name is Chester Bleu, born on 20 February 2022, weighing 8lb 3oz.

However, it is clear that there is no trace of the other Radfords on Millie's Instagram, with the only links to her wider family on her old account - @millieeradfordd. There, Ophelia was a young baby and her last post featuring the extended family was posted to her 117k followers on Christmas Eve 2020.

It was the year that Millie celebrated her first Christmas as a new mum, saying she was "grateful to be spending it with this clan." However, there has been no other snaps of the Radford family and her parents since, but Millie did tease some filming she was involved in with 22 Kids and Counting.

Noel and Sue are the head of Britain's biggest family and have been showing fans what it's like in their household for three series now with their Channel 5 series, which documents everything from living in their house, doing their own home improvements, running their business as well as making big Sunday morning breakfasts for them all.

The show regularly features some of their children - parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 12, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.

The parents also sadly lost their 17th child, Alfie, who was stillborn.

Last year they paid tribute to Alfie in an Instagram post wished their lost son a ‘happy eighth birthday’, sharing pictures of flowers and balloons at his grave.

The family do not receive benefits and earn money through they pie baking business and sponsorship deals.
