The Radford family welcome new addition as mum-of-22 Sue becomes grandmother again

The Radford family have welcomed a brand-new addition to their already huge family.

Mum-of-22 Sue Radford, 46, has announced that her eldest son Chris has become a father for the third time.

Sue, who is the main star of Channel 5 documentary 22 Kids & Counting took to Instagram to share her joy about becoming a grandmother again.

The Lancashire native re-shared a sweet snap of her new grandson to her stories, after her son Chris broke the news on his own page.

Alongside an adorable image of Chris’ newborn son gripping his finger, Sue admitted that she had been finding it increasingly difficult to keep the joyful family secret.

“I have been itching to share this news all day,” she penned.

“Welcome to the family beautiful boy,” she added.

It comes after James shared a sweet tribute to his baby son.

Posting the same photo, he captioned it: “Such little fingers, such little toes. Such lively eyes and such a adorable nose. A mouth so tiny and a smile so sweet.

“Welcome to the world little man. Welcome to the family.”

Chris is the oldest child in the Radford clan, but he has decided to stay out the limelight and refuses to be filmed on the Channel 5 show.

The proud dad-of-three is still incredibly close to his large family however.

Sue welcomed Chris in 1989 after she fell pregnant at just 14-years-old with the father of her 22-children, Noel.

After the birth of her first son, Sue never could have predicted she would welcome 21 more kids – making headlines and nabbing her very own reality TV show.
