Pregnant Radford teen, 18, from UK's biggest family sent cruel death wish message

Millie Radford has revealed how a cruel troll sent her messages wishing that her unborn baby daughter would 'die' because she was 'too young' to be a mum.

Millie, 18, is due to give birth next month to a new daughter, named Ophelia, but has become the target of hate messages.

Teenager Millie is the daughter of Noel and Sue Radford, from Morecambe, Lancs, who are Britain's biggest family with 22 kids.

An account using the alias 'Ellie Smith' taunted that the mum-to-be was too young to have a baby.

The message said: "Hi, too young to have a baby at 18. Hi, hope your baby dies."

A devastated Millie shared the hurtful message as a story on her Instagram profile.

The Radfords announced, via their family YouTube channel, that Millie had gone for her final baby scan last week.

"Millie is going for another scan because she is 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow," Sue said. "This will be the last scan."

Sue drove Millie down to St Helens to visit Take A Peak, a clinic specialising in ultrasound, 3D and 4D baby scans, Lancs Live reports.

Wearing a face mask to protect herself from Covid-19, Millie had her final scan.

Sue was overjoyed at her daughter and remarked at her baby bump several times.

"I can't believe how big she's got," said Millie.

Using 4D imaging technology, Millie was also able to get a first look at her baby, who she is going to call Ophelia.
