Well-known TV couple unrecognisable from unearthed 90s wedding photo to mark 25 years

A throwback wedding snap from the 90s left fans of this star couple open-mouthed after it came to light on Facebook.

The sentimental snap was shared by the couple to mark their 25th wedding anniversary but it left many saying they looked unrecognisable compared to today.

Buy canny fans might be able to make out the smiling faces of TV stars Sue and Noel Radford of the hit show “22 Kids and Counting”.

But the wedding pic, posted to commemorate their anniversary in 2017, shows the couple looking totally different, so you’d be forgiven if you couldn’t make them out.

Sue posted the touching image with the caption: "25 years ago today I married my soulmate.

"Who would have thought 25 years later we'd of just welcomed our 20th child into our family!

"I couldn't love this man anymore if I tried. Happy silver wedding anniversary to us."

Since those two fresh-faced lovebirds tied the knot they have welcomed a whopping 22 kids into the world, including another two just since that photo was posted on Facebook, bringing their total to 22 children and 12 grandchildren.

The celeb couple are parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 12, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.

Dad Noel supports the massive brood with his bakery business, The Radford Pie Company, which he launched in 1999.

Fans of Channel 5 show "22 Kids and Counting" have followed the Lancashire based family and the day-to-day work of looking after such an army of kids.

The Radfords have revealed that they run up massive weekly grocery bills to feed everyone, getting through four loaves of bread per day, plus 16 pints of milk per week as well as 24 toilet rolls.

The Radford brood range in age from 32 all the way down to one-year-old.

While some of the older children have moved out and started families of their own, the majority of the Radfords all live in an enormous ten-bedroom house in Morecambe.

The huge family, who get around in their own minibus, have a luxury pad with cinema, hot tub and bar in their garden while Sue also has a £30K Range Rover she uses when there are fewer kids in toe.
