COOKING dinner for Britain’s biggest family can’t be an easy job, but dad Noel Radford has a clever way to keep his 22 kids well-fed.
The busy dad, 49, showed off the gigantic pie he had whipped up for dinner yesterday, and showed it next to a normal family pie to show the size difference.
Taking to Instagram, Noel wrote: “Regular pie versus a family pie for us.”
Noel and Sue, 45, from Lancashire, have many mouths to feed as they are parents to Chris, 31, Sophie, 25, Chloe, 24, Jack, 22, Daniel, 20, Millie, 19, Luke, 19, Katie, 17, James, 16, Ellie, 15, Aimee, 14, Josh, 12, Max, 11, Tillie, nine, Oscar, eight, Casper, seven, Hallie, four, Phoebe, three, Archie, two, Bonnie, one, and Heidie who was born in April.
Sadly the couple’s 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.
The family has just grown even larger, as Millie has just given birth to her first child Ophelia, meaning Sue and Noel now have six grandkids.
The whole family, including Millie and Ophelia, live in a former 10-bed care home, and share their life with their numerous fans.
The parents famously don’t claim benefits and rely on Noel’s bakery business to make ends meet.
Sue, who has vowed she will now stop at 22 kids, took to Instagram this week to share a sweet snap of Ophelia and joked that she keeps telling herself she is “not broody”.
The adorable shot was from baby Ophelia’s first photoshoot, and grandma Sue added the caption: “I had to keep repeating must not get broody must not get broody, I’M NOT BROODY!!! she’s just so precious.”
Ophelia was born at the weekend and Millie posted a photo of her daughter’s tiny feet to Instagram as she announced her arrival to the world, revealing she was born at 7.05pm.
The new mum said: “The biggest chapter of our lives has begun.”
In other Radford news, Sue shared her kids’ first day back of school including tears and piles of uniform everywhere.
Plus “exhausted” Sue shared a snap of her breastfeeding Heidie.
