ON tonight's episode of 22 Kids & Counting we saw 21-year-old Katie leave Sue and Noel with a huge decision to make.
In the Channel 5 show, the youngster was seen asking her parents if her long-term boyfriend, Connor, could move into their Morecambe mansion.

But because Sue and Noel were both insecure, they decided to put him to the 'Millionaire Mansion' test.
It all started when Katie sat her parents on the couch and asked, “My nervous laugh always tells me I'm up to something.” You know, since Connor pretty much lives here, Connor can basically move in with us? Join the tribe.”
But Sue wasn't sure and replied, “I don't know.”
Noel then said: “That's a big question.”
In an attempt to reassure her parents, Katie confirmed: 'He has a job, he can pay his way.'
But Noel still wasn't sold, as he asked: “We're all thinking about Connor's world, but what happens when you get into a fight with him?
“I think it is very important that in a family of this size everyone does their part.”
Sue then said, “And I don't know if Connor will? I'll have to think about it.”
After Katie's chat with Sue and Noel, Connor admitted: 'I'm a bit worried if they say no because it could mean they don't like me. I am a little bit afraid.”
But with the house already full, Sue and Noel put Connor to the test to see if he could prove he would do his bit if he moved in.
Noe explained: “I can't say I'm particularly keen on Connor moving in. There's enough going on already.”
To which Sue chimed in, “And he's a boy too, Noel. Our guys are the worst when it comes to helping.”
As a result, Connor had to do some chores: empty the trash cans, help with the laundry, and make the beds.
Noel claimed, “We will make tasks so difficult for you that we will break you.”
Because 22 people already live in the house, the family produces 400 kilos of waste per week, meaning the bins have to be emptied at least four times a day.
Connor was stunned by the amount of chores he had to do, admitting: “There are a lot more chores than in a normal house.”
Two weeks after Katie asked if Connor could move in, and he took care of the family chores, Sue and Noel sat down with the couple to discuss their decision.
Noel explained: “It was actually a very difficult decision… I don't know, it's a bit tricky to be honest.”
Sue then said: 'He has clearly tried to prove that he can play a good role in the house. But I'm still not sure. It is expensive to have other people in the house.”
But shortly afterwards the moment of truth came. Sue and Noel met with Katie and Connor to deliver the verdict.
Katie begged, “I really want Connor to move in.” I think I'll be very upset if he can't do that.'
To which Noel explained: “Well, I know you really want to live together.”
Sue then confirmed: “We are at full capacity, the house is bursting at the seams.”
But despite their initial concerns, Noel revealed: “Everyone here needs to do their bit. But you worked very hard to prove yourself. We like you Connor, you can move in.”
The mother of 22 then beamed: “You're pretty good at vacuuming, so all's well.”
Delighted with the decision, Katie explained: 'I'm so happy that Connor can move in with all of us. One more won't hurt.”
Now that the decision had been made, Sue admitted: 'Connor has really proven himself.'
While Noel instructed: “Go pack your things, move, but please keep it tidy.”
