A new series of a reality show about a super-sized Morecambe family will focus on a family wedding.
22 Kids and Counting, beginning on Sunday January 5 at 8pm on Channel 5, will continue the story of the Radford family.
The Radfords first appeared on television in the 2012 Channel 4 series '15 Kids and Counting' and TV cameras have followed them as their family has grown over the years.
Noel and Sue Radford have 22 children - Chris, Sophie, Chloe, Jack, Daniel, Luke, Millie, Katie, James, Ellie, Aimee, Josh, Max, Tillie, Oscar, Casper, Hallie, Phoebe, Archie, Bonnie, Heidie and their brother, Alfie, who was tragically stillborn.
The long-running fly-on-the-wall docuseries will be narrated by Sally Lindsay and this time is also known as '22 Kids and a Wedding' as it focusses on Millie Radford's wedding to Harley Passmore.
"The last series ended with Harley’s romantic wedding proposal to Millie, so we excitedly kick off the new season with all the preparations and planning for the big day," says a promo for the new series.
"But will all the bells and whistles Millie wants for her dream day, turn into tears and tantrums?
"We follow the day itself, the highs and the lows, and watch the whole clan celebrate love, life and family in true Radford style.
"Also in the new series, Katie and boyfriend Connor, unexpectedly discover they are pregnant! But are either of the young couple ready for such a huge life change?
"Sue goes off radar having received some devastating news that she keeps from Noel, sending him sky-high into worry.
"And perhaps the biggest moment yet in Radford history is unveiled. Is Sue and Noel’s family set to expand further…?
"In the first episode of the brand new series, it’s been forever since a Radford wedding, but at long, long last, one is coming!
"Noel and Sue’s third eldest daughter, Millie, is tying the knot with boyfriend Harley after a romantic proposal in Florida. But with the stresses of life, work and children, their relationship is put under duress. And with differing opinions about what venue, what dress and what ring, will they get as far as the aisle?
"When Harley loses his job, and at the same time his ability to contribute financially, the wedding gets put on hold. Their future suddenly looks bleak. But it’s time to shine a light on family, and the true meaning of marriage, and who better to help than Noel and Sue?
"New surrogate Dad Noel takes Harley and friends on a bonding paintballing day, while Sue takes Millie to relax at a spa - a chance to relax and offer advice on getting married and staying married – wise words from the heads of the family.
"Harley finds new work, and the wedding is back on track! He’s safe in the knowledge there’ll always be a Radford to watch his back."
The Radfords live in a converted care home in Morecambe, run their own business Radfords Pie Shop in Heysham and have built a massive online following through the success of their Radford Family YouTube channel.
Noel and Sue released their first book 'The Radfords: Making Life Count' in February 2024.
In a post on their social media, the Radfords said: "We’ve had such an amazing year feeling very blessed looking back on all these memories.
"Started the year in Disneyland Paris.
"We brought out our book 'Making Life Count' and got to meet so many beautiful people at our book signings.
"We’ve had some lovely trips away in the motorhome.
"Went to the Netherlands with the Walkers - this is a holiday that we will cherish forever.
"We spent our summer holiday back in our favourite place.
"Surprising our kids with the Disney cruise was definitely the best surprise and made me cry seeing how excited they were.
"We welcomed our new little grandson Ronnie.
"And gained a son in law - Millie and Harley’s wedding day
"(We had) the most amazing Christmas."
