22 Kids and Counting viewers 'exhausted' as Sue Radford does '40 tonnes of laundry per year'

Viewers tuning into 22 Kids and Counting on Monday night were left feeling exhausted as they got another glimpse into life at the Radford house.

The final episode of the Channel 5 series followed Britain's largest family as they continued to navigate life in 2020, and adapted to having another baby.

Sue and Noel Radford are parents to 22 kids in total, with a few of their adult children still living at home too.

As fans of the show watched the fourth episode, they admitted they felt tired just watching a typical day in the life of Sue.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer posted: "#22kidsandcounting is so chaotic, like would you spend your whole adult life pregnant??"

Another tweeted: "#22kidsandcounting Exhausted watching this, Dont know how they do it. 1 would be too many for me let alone 22 (sic)."

A third person added: "'30 years of non-stop housework'. This woman has a right to go on strike. X #22kidsandcounting."

During the latest episode, Sue was seen going on strike - while husband Noel was left at home to look after the kids and take care of the household chores.

As he attempted to get some of the younger kids to help with the washing, it was revealed that Sue does an astounding 40 tonnes of laundry per year, which is three quarters of a ton every week.

A voiceover confirmed that it is actually about the same weight as all the kids put together, and that Sue climbs the equivalent of three times of Mount Everest to collect it and put it all away again.

But viewers watching at home were also shocked to see that most of the kids don't even help her.

One person tweeted: "Why doesn’t she just get the teens and adult kids to help her? I literally moved out of my parents house and fended for my self from the age of 19. #22kidsandcounting."

Another viewer added: "My mum would be screaming at me to help at that point #22kidsandcounting."
