Amid the Coronavirus epidemic, Britain’s biggest family has joyfully welcomed their latest addition.
45-year-old Sue Radford and her 49-year-old husband Neil shared the news of the arrival of their 22nd child, a baby girl weighing 7lb, following a ten-hour labor at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary in Lancaster, England. This new member becomes their 11th daughter.
Expressing her emotions, Sue told the Sun: ‘I was more scared than I had ever been going into hospital with everything going on with the virus.” She added, “I was so worried that Noel wouldn’t be allowed to stay with me.”
“It was the strangest birth yet but by the end of it I would say it was actually one of the best experiences I have had.”
“We can’t settle on a name we all like but we can’t register her now anyway because of corona.”
The couple’s other children include Christopher, 30, Sophie, 26, Chloe, 24, Jack, 22, Daniel, 21, Luke, 19, Millie, 18, Katie, 17, James, 16, Ellie, 15, Aimee, 14, Josh, 12, Max, 11, Tillie, nine, Oscar, eight, Casper, seven, Alfie, five, Hallie, four, Phoebe, three, Archie, two, and Bonnie, 17 months.
