Sue Radford, 44, is mum to Britain’s largest family and stars in All 4’s reality TV show “21 Kids and Counting.”
The mum, from Morecambe, Lancashire, is pregnant with her 22nd child but took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a heartfelt New Years message about loss.
Sue, who fell pregnant with her first child aged 13, said: “Reflecting back on 2019 we can honestly say it’s been the hardest year of our lives.”
Sharing the message with her 186k followers she added: “We’ve gone through the devastating loss of both my dad and Noel’s mum which as a family has been so hard to deal with, we miss them both so very much.”
She also reflected on her daughter Tillie’s operation, saying: “Then Tillie having to go through a few big operations has at times felt like life just hasn’t given us a break.”
Tillie, who is nine, had to have a frame fitted to her leg to lengthen it after procedure at 18 months stopped its growth.
