Sue Radford, mum of Britain’s biggest family, involved in horror car accident

Sue Radford, who is mum to 22 children, has been involved in a dramatic car crash which has left her family motor mangled.

The mum of Britain’s biggest family has since confirmed that no one was injured in the road accident.

The 47-year-old TV star took to Instagram on Monday to tell her 507,00 fans that her vehicle ended up in the horrific collision.

Sharing a snap of the street with a police van and a fire engine in the background, Sue confirmed that everyone was safe and said she was "so grateful" no children were in the car.

"Everyone was ok. 'Not how I expected my day to go but thankfully everyone was ok," Sue penned.

''The car isn't but it's only metal and can be sorted,'' the mum-of-22 wrote in the story posted on the family's social media account.

"So thankful I didn't have the kids in the car though. Also thank you to all who stopped to ask if I was ok.''

It comes just days after Sue and her husband Noel issued a statement as they take a break from filming.

The couple 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.

Ahead of filming a fourth series, the couple and their family issued a statement to fans, thanking them for their support as they take a 'well earned break' ahead of the next lot of filming.

They took to social media to share: "We just want to say a huge thank you for all the love and support you’ve shown throughout our series, we truly appreciate each and every comment and message we’ve received so thank you.

"So chuffed to say our programme was no.1 on ch5 most Sundays and doing really well on my5 every week with it being the most watched programme on my5.

"We are currently having a well earned little break from filming before heading into filming series 4 which we are very excited about."

Sue also recently revealed the pressures of running their business in the earlier years and the bankruptcy nearly caused them to divorce.

She said: "You would go to bed thinking about the debt, wake up thinking about the debt, wake up in the night thinking about the debt. If anything would have caused us to get a divorce, it was this shop.

"Looking back now, it was a time where I genuinely thought our marriage would not pull through. We’d get divorced and that would be it. It was absolutely awful."
