Britain’s largest family The Radfords scream with excitement during the gender reveal
Britain’s biggest family announced in October that they are getting even bigger, when Chloe Radford revealed she is pregnant.
Now Chloe and her partner Jacob have shared a sweet insight into their family as they discovered the gender of their baby.
Noel and Sue’s second eldest daughter Chloe took to Instagram to reveal the exciting news news.
In the heartwarming video, the 29-year-old stood with her security guard boyfriend as they held their daughter Milia, two, and popped a huge black balloon with colored confetti inside.
She shared the sweet images with her 153,000 followers on Instagram as blue confetti burst from the balloon.
“I knew it was a boy,” she screamed as Jacob hugged her.

“Mila, you’re going to have a brother,” the mother said, clapping her hands.
The video also showed the couple making another reveal, but this time with their family – and a lot more blue confetti.
The large brood were overjoyed with the happy news and could be seen screaming with excitement when it was revealed that another baby boy would be joining the family.
The baby will be Noel and Sue’s 16th grandchild.
This comes after Chloe, who works as a bakery manager at the family’s Radford Pie Company, revealed she wanted another baby earlier in May.
Speaking to her TikTok followers, she added: “No rush, I’m just enjoying putting all our time and energy into Mila.”
This announcement was also made shortly after her sister Katie became a mother for the first time this month with her boyfriend Connor.
She announced the birth of her son on her social media pages, as she wrote: “Born Tuesday October 8th at 5:03 pm weighing 7:11 pm, the day you changed our lives forever little man.
“Mommy and daddy love you so much.”
New dad Connor also made an appearance on cloud nine, as he wrote: “Little man finally showed up, because we’re so made up.”
The Radfords are Britain’s largest family, with Morecambe-based parents Noel and Sue having 22 children.
Chloe and Jack welcomed their first daughter Mila on July 23, 2022, after starting their relationship in 2021.
The couple met on a night out and have been inseparable ever since.
When asked in an Instagram Q&A if an engagement was on the horizon, Chloe replied humorously: “I hope so, my hand looks a bit bare doesn’t it?” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Meanwhile, Noel, 53, and Sue, 49, are the proud parents of Britain’s largest family, with 22 children and 10 grandchildren.
