Chloe Radford thanks NHS services as she heads home with new-born daughter

One member of Britain's Biggest Family has welcomed the birth of her first child with open arms - and thanked the important doctors and nurses that helped her get there.

The 26-year-old gave birth to her first baby on Saturday July 23, with partner Jake by her side - making her 22-strong family into a 23-person household.

The 26-year-old shared the exciting news on social media that she had welcomed her daughter into the world, as partner Jake and mum Sue were by her side. First-time mum Chloe has shared a photo of herself with the new-born and Jake on Instagram.

Captioning the photo on Instagram, Chloe wrote: "23rd July 2022, our beautiful daughter made her entrance into the world and we are in the biggest baby love bubble you can imagine.

"6lb 2oz of pure perfection and I can’t quite believe she is ours. I am just so in love with her."

Now the family-of-three are heading home to start their lives together, and Chloe posted a sweet photo of Jake taking his daughter home from the hospital.

Writing on the Instagram story, Chloe said: "We are finally home. Just wanted to take a minute and say thank you to everyone for all your lovely comments and messages.

"Also can't fault the amazing care and support we've received whilst being in the hospital since Thursday afternoon, everyone was just amazing.

"Now to start life as a family of 3!"

Chloe and Jake's new baby will have an influx of support from their many aunties and uncles, as Noel and Sue welcome their 11th grandchild.

Matriarch Sue and dad Noel are parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 28, Chloe, 26, Jack, 25, Daniel, 23, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 17, Aimee, 16, Josh, 14, Max, 13, Tillie, 12, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, seven, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, two.

A Channel 4 documentary, 15 Kids and Counting, was the springboard to The Radford Family's success, with 22 Kids and Counting airing on Channel 5 after the success of the first show.
