Britain's biggest family The Radfords reveal incoming baby number 22

Britain's biggest family is set to grow as the parents reveal another baby will see their brood increase to 22 children.

Sue Radford, 44, of Morecambe in Lancashire, currently cares for 21 kids with her husband Noel, 48.

The excited couple announced the Radford's new addition in a video posted to YouTube on Sunday, saying they "cannot wait" for the child to be born.

The video follows Sue and her husband as they go for a routine hospital scan while accompanied by their some of their young kids.

"Hopefully we'll get to see him kicking around. We're both very excited", says Sue.

The footage was filmed on September 29th as they went for a three month scan.

Later in the video they revealed the child will be due in April and will announce the baby's sex in a gender reveal video.

The couple live with the majority of their kids in the Victorian property, a former care home, in Morecambe, Lancashire, which they bought almost 15 years ago.

And now they have revealed how they manage to all live together in the 10-bed four-storey house, which includes a basement.

The Radfords first found fame in 2012 when their lives were the focus of a Channel 4 documentary called 15 Kids and Counting.

Baby Bonnie was the last addition to the brood in November bringing the number of children to a whopping 21.

She arrived after a swift 12 minute labour weighing 8lb 4oz - and the couple, who have been having children for three decades, vowed she would be their last and had completed their family.
