Speaking on their , Noel said this week: “Bad news is we think there is a bug going round the house.

“Caspar the other day was a bit silky. Heidie has been a little bit sick this afternoon and now Katie is sick, but she has had it really bad. 

“She’s had a headache, she really does feel awful bless her.”

Sue added: “So hopefully it doesn’t sweep through everybody but it is probably not looking good is it?”

Back in December, it was revealed that the family was self-isolating after dad Noel Radford tested positive for coronavirus, along with son Daniel.

Sue and Noel are parents to Chris, 31, and Sophie 26, Chloe, 25, Jack, 23, Daniel, 21, Luke, 20, Millie, 19, Katie, 18, James, 17, Ellie, 15, Aimee, 14, Josh, 13, Max, 12, Tillie, 10, Oscar, nine, Casper, eight, Hallie, five, Phoebe, four, Archie, three, Bonnie, two, and Heidie who was born in April.

Sadly the couple’s 17th child, Alfie, was stillborn on July 6, 2014.

Little Heidie was born during lockdown on April 3. 

The family - minus eldest kids Chris and Sophie, who have flown the nest - all live under one roof in a 10-bed former care home. 

This includes Millie who is still at home after giving birth to her first child Ophelia in September.

The busy parents support themselves with a bakery and don’t rely on benefits.

Sue shared a snap of her homeschooling station back in March last year when the UK first went into lockdown.

Thankfully, not ALL of her 22 kids are of school age, but she still has her hands full with many of them.

And while the snap of her very organised work station made the task look pretty easy, things certainly aren't as smooth sailing this time around.

In a recent clip on the family's account, Sue revealed that some of the older kids have had issues from the start - with lost account log-ins, no work planners and even broken laptops.
