A company run by a well-known TV family has become the official pie supplier to Morecambe Football Club.

Radford's Pie Company posted on their Facebook page on Tuesday that they were "proud to announce that we are the pie supplier to Morecambe Football Club".

The Heysham Road pie firm is run by the Radfords of Morecambe, known as Britain's biggest family and stars of hit reality television show '22 Kids and Counting'.

The Radfords, headed by mum Sue and dad Noel, have owned their own bakery in Heysham since 1999.

"We want to use good, high quality local suppliers," said Jodie Assitt, head of events, bars and catering at Morecambe FC.

"We trialled with Radford's for a period last season, and their pies went down well with our fans.

"So we've signed up with them for next season to continue that local relationship and provide the fans with a good quality product."

Noel has more than three decades of experience of working in bakeries and other members of the family help in the business too.

The Radfords' television show airs regularly on Channel 5 and they have a huge YouTube and social media following.

Morecambe Football Club has been long renowned for its pies.

In March, the club gained two silver awards in the Sports Club Pie category at the British Pie Awards.

The national awards, held annually in Melton Mowbray, have been running since 2009 and Morecambe FC has won many accolades for the quality of its pies over the years, including winning Supreme Champion honours in 2011 and 2014, and football club pie class champion on several occasions.
