Sharing a snap of the gleaming new kitchen on Instagram, Sophie said: “Radford's Pie Company had its weekly deep clean yesterday.

Sophie, moved out back in 2013 to live with her husband Joe Broadley and their three children - Daisy, nine, Ayprill, seven and Leo, five.

When Sophie announced her third pregnancy with Leo back in 2015, she decided she wouldn't follow in her parents footsteps and would stop there.

She told Fabulous: "“Mum always jokes that I’m not going to stop at three.

“She thinks I will have eight, but that’s definitely not going to happen.

“When we told her about baby number three she was delighted, she’s always happy when a new baby is coming along."

Sue admitted to getting emotional just walking past Sophie's empty room when she did move out.

"Sophie, Joe and little Daisy moved out of the Radford house today and I can't bare to go past the bedroom without getting upset," wrote Sue.

Sophie is the second of the Radford children.
