The Radford family's heated exchange, children who moved out and those who don't appear on TV

The Radford family have been hit by scandal as daughter Millie slammed her parents Sue and Noel for 'making money out of their grandkids'.

Britain's biggest family are the centre of the hit Channel 5 series 22 Kids and Counting, where they document their unusual life. 19 of the Radford children still live at their 10-bedroom converted care home house, and one of their older children, Millie, has slammed her parents on social media.

Millie, 22, was left raging at her mum and dad, Sue and Noel, after they surprised some of their grandkids with a trip to Florida but didn't include her own kids. Millie savaged her parents and accused them of picking favourites as they embark on the US adventure, reports the Mirror.

She wrote: "Cute? But you've made money from all your grandchildren but choose your favourites...Said my piece, I recall my kids being in the whole 22 Kids and counting - not a single sight viewing of the rest in there.. bare 1 ep."

The Radfords first appeared on TV screens in 2012 in Channel 4 documentary 15 Kids and Counting, then 20 Kids and Counting in 2018 to mark their 25th wedding anniversary. Now they are at the centre of 22 Kids and Counting on Channel 5, however not everyone still wants to appear on the show.

Millie, who has moved out into her own place, gave birth to a baby girl named Ophelia in September 2020. She detailed her traumatic labour as she was rushed into theatre due to birthing complications.

One person who isn't in the picture is Millie's ex-boyfriend and it was said during a Q&A video on the family's YouTube channel in November 2020 that they are "nothing to each other now".

"I'm not saying who he is because he's completely out of our lives," she said. "He's in a new relationship, we don't have anything to do with each other."

She continued: "We haven't had anything to do with each other for months – from pretty much the beginning of my pregnancy. "He just wasn't happy to step up and be a dad so he's never been named."

Sue and Noel's eldest son Christopher moved out of the family home but stays nearby with his wife Nicole and their three children. They are four-year-old Maisie, two-year-old Jacob and baby Nicholas, who was born in September last year.

Chris, who was born when his mother was 14, does not appear on the family's Channel 5 show and now works as a glazier.

Sue has explained that Chris wanted to take a step back from the limelight and rarely appears on their social media either. There is also eldest daughter Sophie, who now lives with her husband Joe Broadley and their three children, Daisy, Ayprill and Leo.

When Sophie left the family home in August 2013, mum Sue admitted she got emotional just walking past their empty room. "Sophie, Joe and little Daisy moved out of the Radford house today and I can't bare to go past the bedroom without getting upset," wrote Sue.

Sophie announced her third pregnancy in August 2015 and declared she would not follow in her parents' footsteps. "He will definitely be our last - although I can't say the same about mum and dad," she told The Sun.

She added: "Mum always jokes that I’m not going to stop at three. She thinks I will have eight, but that’s definitely not going to happen. When we told her about baby number three she was delighted, she's always happy when a new baby is coming along."

Chloe, who is the third eldest child, has also moved out of the family home to be with her boyfriend. In May 2021, Chloe took to Instagram to announce she was leaving the family nest to move in with her partner.

She posted a picture of herself and her boyfriend enjoying a toast to their important milestone together saying: "Few drinks to celebrate LIVING together!!"
