Noel Radford gushes over wife and mum-of-22 Sue on her birthday while the kids big up how good she looks for her age
NOEL Radford has led the birthday tributes to his wife and the mum of his 22 children, Sue.
The mum-of-22 celebrated her 48th birthday at the family’s home with a supermarket cake and dinner being cooked for her.
Members of the Radford clan, who are known as the biggest family in the UK, have also taken to social media to gush over Sue’s special day.
Leading the tributes was 52-year-old Noel.
Sharing a picture of his wife at the beach on Instagram, he lovingly penned: “A big happy birthday to this beauty.
“We all love you sooooo much.
“Won’t say how old but still younger than me.”
Noel is yet to reveal if he treated Sue to any presents.
Daughter Katie, 19, gushed: “Happy birthday to my favourite lady ever.
“I love and appreciate you so so much.
“Another year only and I would say you don’t look a day over 20.”
Sue later beamed that she was “so lucky” after Katie and Aimee, 16, ordered her to sit down so they could cook her a birthday dinner.
Her Instagram stories showed the girls creating platters of sausage rolls and getting burger buns ready.
Sue added: “Huge thank you for all my birthday wishes.
“I’ve had the best day and been thoroughly spoilt.
“Feeling very loved.”
The Radford family, led by parents Noel and Sue, are known as Britain’s largest family with the couple having 22 children.
The family have appeared in documentaries on Channel 4 and live in a former care home in Morecambe, Lancs.
The clan first got on our radar when they appeared on screen in Channel 4’s 2012 documentary 15 Kids and Counting, then 20 Kids and Counting in 2018.
Their most recent show – which airs on Channel 5 – is 22 Kids and Counting.
