22 Kids and Counting’s Sue Radford issues important Christmas special update

Sue Radford has given fans an update about a Christmas special episode this year. The television star, who is best known for featuring in the show 22 Kids and Counting, is the mother to 22 children.

The 49-year old tied the knot with husband Noel when she was 17 and he was 21 years old, however she had previously fallen pregnant with their first child when she was only 13 and he was 17.

Noel and Sue are the proud parents to Chris, Sophie, Chloe, Jack, Daniel, Luke, Millie, Katie, James, Ellie, Aimee, Josh, Max, Tillie, Oscar, Casper, Hallie, Phoebe, Archie, Bonnie, and Heidie.

Speaking to her fans on social media, Sue revealed if there was going to be a Christmas special this year. Sadly, UK households will not be able to sit down and watch the Radford this year.

She penned: "So many messages and comments asking if we've done a Christmas special this year so I thought I'd put this up. We haven't done one this year but I think Channel 5 have re-shown last years." [sic]

Sue and Noel along with their children thrive from their successful bakery business. The Radford's Pie Company serves fresh, healthy pies to consumers across the United Kingdom and they have owned the company since 1999.

Thankfully, some of their children have been heavily involved in their bakery business, such as daughter Chloe having helped for the last five years.

Earlier this year, Noel publicly defended himself after recieving criticism for getting his wife Sue pregnant when she was 13-years-old.

After getting negative comments over the years, Noel has defended their four-year age gap in his joint book, The Radfords: Making Life Count. He wrote: "What happened back then has obviously been brought up again in recent years, after we became known by going on television.

"People have inevitably talked about the situation and it has been written about in the newspapers and discussed on social media. There has been a lot of focus on it and, in a way, it was probably worse for us than when it actually happened. So many people have given their opinions.

"But we were both kids it was not as if I was 10 or 15 years older than Sue. For a lot of people, though, things are just black and white and you are tarnished with the same brush as other people in totally different situations. We were young and we were daft. But we wanted to continue as a couple."
