‘Can’t believe you’ people slam mum-of-22 Sue Radford for controversial parenting decision on £52k family holiday
MUM-OF-22 Sue Radford has come under fire for a controversial parenting decision on lavish family holiday.
The bumper brood have been enjoying a £52,000 Florida trip for mum-of-22 Sue’s 50th birthday.
But while the family were checking out the Disney parks, one member of the Radford brood was left behind - 29-year-old Chloe who is currently pregnant with her second child.
The blonde beauty who is already mother to adorable daughter Mila, two, with security guard boyfriend Jacob Wallace, recently told fans how long the couple have got until the due date.
Sharing all with her 158,000 Instagram followers, the content creator who stars in the Channel 5 show 22 Kids & Counting, lifted up her top to show off her big baby bump.
Alongside the clip, Chloe attached a viral audio, originally recorded by reality TV star Kylie Jenner.

As Chloe cradled her bump, the audio said: “So I’m 34 weeks today.
“Only got a month left.”
Alongside the short video, Chloe, who is Noel and Sue Radford’s second eldest daughter and recently admitted that she is "struggling" as she opened up on a secret battle that was "getting worse", wrote: “Reached the point in pregnancy I can finally use this sound.”
The third oldest Radford child, who works as a bakery manager at the family’s Radford Pie Company, then shared: “Feeling very uncomfortable.
“Braxton Hicks all the time, constantly being kicked in the ribs, lots of heartburn and so many aches.”
Despite this, Chloe, who began her relationship with her partner Jacob in 2021 and gave birth to their first child on July 23, 2022, expressed: “All worth it though and everyday is closer to meeting him.”
However, with the due date now fast-approaching, critics slammed mum Sue for going on a lavish holiday - as she had already missed the birth of her 13th grandchild last year while enjoying a holiday in Dubai.
Katie Radford, 22 - the eighth eldest of Britain's largest family - gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Ronnie Hudson Carter, back in October 2024.
Despite the mum-to-be wanting Sue, then 49, to be present for the birth, a booking blunder from Noel meant parents of the brood ended up missing the arrival of Ronnie - much to Sue's disappointment.
After sharing a series of holiday snaps on the family's Instagram account, Sue was met with a barrage of abuse.
One critic said: ''Can’t believe you’ve gone away so close to Chloe’s due date after the drama when Noel booked you to go away close to Millie’s due date.''
The comment, liked more than 30 times, saw one person agreeing by simply stating: ''True.''
Luckily, not everyone came after the mother-of-22, as the majority of people sided with Sue.
''Chole is a adult & lives with her partner,'' wrote one fan of the family.
''Chloe is an adult, I'm sure she was fine about it,'' another hit back at the trolls.

It comes after Chloe recently expressed: “This pregnancy is so different, just completely different to Mila's.
“I had such an easy time with her, whereas I feel like this time I am struggling a bit more.
“I'm not enjoying it as much as when I was pregnant with Mila.
"Just the aches and the pains and all the symptoms.”
As well as this, she shared: “Even though he's got an anterior placenta, I can actually see him moving around and things.
"That's amazing because I never really got that with Mila.
“It’s all just typical pregnancy symptoms, I just need the acid reflux and heartburn to just calm down a little bit, because it's not nice, is it?
“Aside from that, I'm feeling good, just tired. I can't sleep properly.

“I'm so on edge that he's going to come early. I'm just worried that he's gonna be early. I'm freaking out, I'm really freaking out.”
