Noel and Sue’s second eldest daughter took to Instagram just last week to reveal the exciting news.

And now, Chloe, who works as a bakery manager at the family’s Radford Pie Company, has opened up on feeling ‘nervous’ and ‘anxious’ with her second pregnancy.

As a result, Chloe paid to go private to get an early scan, as she told fans how far along she is.

She said: “We are just getting ready to go for our first scan. It feels so weird saying that.

“We have booked an early reassurance scan. I think, based on dates and things, we might be about six weeks, but we'll find out today.

“Fingers crossed everything is ok.

“It's supposed to be really exciting, but I just feel a lot more anxious and on edge this time for some reason.”

Moments later, Chloe returned home from the hospital and held up her baby scan.

She beamed: “So there's our little baby. You really can't see much because we're only six weeks and one day, estimated.

“Everything went well. I didn't actually film when we got there because I was just so nervous and anxious and I wanted to just take it all in.

“So yeah, she said everything is as it should be - measuring at six weeks and one day.

“We're going back again in two weeks, just because she said everything's really small at the moment, so she likes to bring people back in in about two weeks and re-scan, just so you can see a little bit more.

She added: “It actually feels crazy to think that we're on this journey again, but really, really excited, really happy. Can't wait now.

“Obviously it is still early days, but yeah, I feel very happy.”

How does family-of-22 the Radfords afford to live?

AS Britain's biggest family, it may come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills.

Between them, they have a whopping 22 children and seven dogs, which often has some people wonder how they manage their money.

The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds of Noel’s bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home.

On their website, it says: “We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family as well as for the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.”

The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK.

The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm, and some of their children helping out.

The older kids, who are working at least part-time, don't get a free ride as they're made to pay a small amount of rent to their parents.

"Us older ones do pay a little bit of board. Granted it’s not a lot but I’m also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.” their daughter Chloe said in a video on the YouTube channel.

Sue added: "We’ve always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we’d rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer.

“I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We’ve always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.”

Noel and Sue famously don’t rely on benefits for their bumper brood and live off their pie shop for income.

They also revealed they make money from brand partnerships on social media.

The Radford family stars in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting - which has run for four series.

Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue have been paid less than £10,000 for each show.

He told the Daily Mail: "The typical fee per episode is going to be in the thousands rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with TV shows of this nature.

"If they continue to get commissioned for a fourth or fifth season, then they are going to be able to command a higher fee."

He estimates that the Radfords make £ 5,000 an episode.

Chloe and Jack welcomed their first daughter Mila on July 23, 2022, after beginning their relationship in 2021.

Their second child will be Noel and Sue’s 16th grandchild.
