Radford Family
Family
Noel and Sue were both adopted as babies and met as children, then had their first child, Christopher, when Sue was 14 and Noel was 18. They then got married when Sue was 17 and Noel was 21. The family now lives in a former care home in Morecambe. The family owns and operates Radford's Pie Company, also known as Faraday's, a bakery in Heysham, which they acquired in 1999.
The 2018 programme 20 Kids and Counting covered Sue and Noel's 25th wedding anniversary and the birth of their 20th child.
As of 2021, Sue and Noel have had 22 children. While later episodes of the programme do feature pregnancies of some of Sue and Noel's older children, the series title has remained the same since it became 22 Kids and Counting, with the number reflecting how often Sue gave birth, and her children's kids coming under the "…and Counting" rubric.
