Sharing the news to Instagram, Sue and her husband Noel – who are parents of ‘Britain’s largest family’ based in Morecambe – looked overjoyed as they announced the return of 22 Kids And Counting. 

Fans were left delighted at the news, saying they’d been ‘lost’ without the show, and many were quick to note that Sue herself had undergone a makeover for the announcement. 

The famous mother, who has previously dyed her brunette locks, had added some more blonde highlights for a fresh and fashionable look. 

She also appeared to be wearing two bracelets from luxury vintage brand Van Cleef & Arpels – which is even beloved by the Princess of Wales.

The jewellery is thought to be worth around £4,000 each and features the brand’s well-known four-leaf clover design.

In May, Sue and Noel’s daughter Katie, 21, announced her pregnancy and revealed she was having a boy.  

The eighth child of Britain’s ‘biggest family’ shared the happy news along with her long-term boyfriend Connor Carter, who has also featured in the reality show. 

In an episode in January, the father-to-be moved into the Radfords’ home after he and Katie convinced Sue and Noel that he’s willing to pull his weight and help out with chores.

The Radfords are also expected to share an update in their house hunt, after keeping quiet about it in recent months on social media.  

The huge family first shot to fame in 2012 when 22 Kids And Counting first aired. 

The most recent addition to Noel and Sue’s super-sized brood was Heidie, who was born in April 2020 – just five months before their granddaughter Ophelia arrived.

Sue has said previously they are ‘proud to be Britain’s biggest family’ – but admitted that she only originally planned on having three children.

She added: ‘We’re addicted to children – but as addictions go, it’s not a bad one because it’s motivated by love. We have plenty to go round.”
