SUE and Noel Radford had a fright on a family trip to Alton Towers when two of their daughters went missing.

The couple took 14 of their 22 children off to Alton Towers for a fun family day but disaster struck when young girls Hallie, 6, and Phoebe, 5, got lost.

On the latest episode of their 22 Kids and Counting TV show, Sue and Noel piled their children into two minivans and took them off to theme park Alton Towers.

The huge group went straight to check in at the hotel.

Sue said: "Staying in a hotel, I love it. Noel on the other hand it's kind of like his worst nightmare."

Once al the rooms were assigned they hit the park in search of rides.

Noel said: "Taking them to a theme park is great fun but it's also difficult because you've got such a big age range of kids that come with us.

The little kids want to go on the little rides but the other ones want to go and see the bigger rides. They're more thrill seekers."

But the different tastes of the children wasn't their only problem on the day out.

After enjoying a family game of crazy golf and hitting some of the rides, they walked from one side of the park to the other and realised that two of their daughters Hallie and Phoebe were missing.

The were just behind the crew when they vanished in a matter of seconds.

Noel and Katie went to hunt for the missing girls while Sue stood with the other kids.

After a panicked wait Noel called Sue and she immediately answered, asking: "Have you got them?"

Noel explained that they still hadn't found the little ones and Sue was visibly distraught.

The film crew for the show even put down their cameras to help join the search and they finally found the little girls.

If you lose a child it is the most scary situation any parent can be in. It's just an absolute nightmare.

Noel said: "Going out with a family the size of ours, it is quite difficult just getting everyone organised and keeping track of where everybody is all the time.

"It's really difficult sometimes, especially if you're in an area where it's busy, like a theme park."

Sue said: "If you lose a child it is the most scary situation any parent can be in. It's just an absolute nightmare."

Noel said: "Even just one minute feels like an hour, you're just panicking."

He added: "It was scary. We've never ever lost the kids. It was a scary thing.

"Once we got them back it was a massive relief. But I think they were just as scared of losing mum and dad as we were of losing them."

Sue and Noel are parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 28, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 13, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.

Sadly the couple's 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.

The family, who live in a 10-bed former care home, famously doesn’t rely on benefits and is supported by their pie shop business. 

In the show, Sue revealed they have spent £1million raising their large brood and she has been pregnant for 16-and-a-half YEARS.

We previously shared how mum-of-22 Sue lives a millionaire’s lifestyle with a £30k Range Rover, outdoor cinema, hot tub and bar.

Last year, the Radford family got even LARGER as Sue and Noel announced a new grandson was on the way.
