Sue Radford struggles to find an outfit for Millie’s SOON wedding
WITH 22 children, Sue Radford will be the mother of the bride or groom several times over.
But as her daughter Millie’s wedding approaches, the family matriarch admits she’s struggling to find the perfect outfit for the big event.
Sue also revealed that the wedding is happening soon, as she Instagram stories to reveal her style dilemma.
“Today I made my next hair appointment for Millie and Harley’s wedding in just over nine weeks,” she wrote.
“I’m so excited, but I’m really struggling to find a mother of the bride outfit that I like. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know.”
Sue says she normally goes for Phase Eight dresses because she likes the options, but she wanted to try “something different” for this occasion.

“But it has to be a small one, and those are very hard to find!” sighed Sue.
Bride-to-be Millie also shared Sue’s post on her own Instagram Stories, urging her fans: “Let us know in the comments where your favourite place to buy MOB dresses is!”
Sue hasn’t yet revealed what recommendations she’s received from her followers, but Karen Millen, Coast, Hobbs and Oasis all carry occasion wear for petite people, so it’s likely they’ve been recommended.
Sue is estimated to be around 5ft 2in tall and has previously admitted that she occasionally shops in the children’s section of stores such as Primark, looking for outfits that suit her petite frame.
Millie and Harley got engaged earlier this year, when the father of two of her three children proposed to her at Disneyland.
It was a special moment for Millie, as she said Harley dropped the ring because he was so nervous.
Luckily, a little boy found the star, but Harley had trouble getting it onto Millie’s finger because it was too tight.
“I’ve probably planted some wood since I’ve been here,” Millie told Sue and her father Noel at the time.
“Because I had an M (ring size) before we came here. It’s a little small.”
Millie Radford’s Relationship Timeline
Millie is the seventh child and third daughter of 22-year-old parents Sue and Noel Radford.
She rose to fame when the family got their own Channel 5 show, 22 Kids and Counting, in 2018.
Millie became pregnant for the first time at the age of 18 and gave birth to daughter Ophelia in September 2020.
Millie is no longer with Ophelia’s father, whose identity remains a secret. They split shortly after Ophelia became pregnant.
The reality star spoke candidly about her relationship with him, saying, “He just wasn’t happy about becoming a father, that’s why his name was never mentioned.”
On February 20, 2022, she welcomed her second child, a son named Chester.
Millie kept her pregnancy a secret until her due date and in March 2022, she spoke openly about Chester’s birth during a Q&A on her Instagram Stories.
She also identified Chester’s father for the first time, revealing that he was her secret boyfriend Harley Passmore.
In May 2023, Millie announced that she was expecting another child with her partner.
Her baby, a daughter named Jade, was born in September 2023.
In April 2024, Millie excitedly told her fans that Harley had proposed to her during a trip to Disneyland in Florida.
In July, mum Sue hinted that Millie and Harley would tie the knot before the end of the year, even sharing a snap of the bride-to-be looking at wedding dresses.
She later added: “Anyway guys, the wedding is still a while away. So we all still have time.”
Millie has since shared photos of herself looking for a wedding dress as she tries to get everything perfect for her big day.
