The Radford family is about to get even bigger as daughter goes for final 4D scan

A mum and dad to 22 children are set to welcome their sixth grandchild, as their daughter goes for her final scan.

Noel and Sue Radford, had their first child Christopher back in 1989 and have gone on to have 21 more children, as well as five grandchildren.

The pair welcomed little Heidi Rose in April during the coronavirus lockdown, announcing their new arrival on social media.

Now Sue and Noel's 19-year-old daughter Millie is due to give birth to her first child next month.

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.

Millie said: "She's got a really chubby face hasn't she?!"

The Radfords - who live in a ten-bed house - are Britain's biggest family with dad Noel and mum Sue, parents to Chris, 30, Sophie, 26, Chloe, 24, Jack, 22, Daniel, 20, Luke, 19, Millie, 18, Katie, 17, James, 16, Ellie, 14, Aimee, 13, Josh, 12, Max, 11, Tillie, nine, Oscar, eight, Casper, seven, Hallie, four, Phoebe, three, Archie, two, and Bonnie, one and Heidi Rose, four months.
