Radford family fans in ‘tears’ as they rally to support ‘amazing parents’ Sue & Noel hours after being slammed by Millie
FANS of Britain’s biggest family, the Radfords, have rallied to support “amazing parents” Sue and Noel, hours after they were slammed by daughter Millie.
The 22-year-old raised eyebrows after attacking her parents over social media and accusing them of “making money” off their grandchildren.

Millie took to her Instagram Story sharing her response to a video Sue and Noel had uploaded showing them surprising some of their grandkids with a trip to Disney World in Florida.
Millie screenshotted the video and added the caption: "Cute? But you've made money from all your grandchildren but choose your favourites.
"Said my piece."
She then accused Sue and Noel of leaving her own kids - Chester and Ophelia - out of the trip, despite them regularly featuring on the family’s show, 22 Kids and Counting on Channel 5.

She added: "I recall my kids being in the whole 22 Kids and Counting - not a single sight viewing of the rest in there.
"Bare 1 ep."
Sue responded to the drama on Facebook, writing under the video: “Thank you so much for all your comments, the grandkids’ reaction was just so lovely and had us all crying.
“Please could we just not comment on Millie we are on holiday and don’t want all the drama.”

Fans have taken to Facebook to share their support for Noel and Sue, with some followers being reduced to tears.
One person wrote: “I’m sat here with tears running down my cheeks. There reactions were the best. Have a fabulous holiday team Redford.”
Another added: “Wow , that's awesome hope you all have a lovely time. I will say I was crying, the children's faces were a picture.”
A third commented: "Sue and noel your amazing parents."
Millie left the post up for around an hour after posting it on Tuesday afternoon, as her mum, dad and numerous siblings jetted off to the Sunshine State.
Noel dressed up as Mickey Mouse to tell the kids of the surprise trip, with the news causing Daisy to burst into tears.
Sue and Noel are also grandparents to son Christopher's children Maisie, Jacob and Oaklyn, as well as Millie's Ophelia and Chester, and Chloe's daughter Mila.
In a previous interview with The Sun, Millie explained that her experience looking after her younger siblings helped prepare her for becoming a mother herself.
“I’ve changed more nappies than I can count and I am an expert at getting squirmy babies into tiny clothes," she said.
“I have had a lot of practice. I started helping Mum with the babies when I was around eight years old — changing them, bathing them and feeding them.
"My older siblings did it for me, and it’s just how our family works.
“I don’t know how they did it, but I also spent quite a bit of one-on-one time with my parents, too.”
Millie also ruled out having more than three kids herself, as she insisted: "I don’t want to drive a minibus to school each day.
"Three is my maximum."
Sue, 48, and Noel, 52, got hitched when Sue was 17 and say their marriage has never had any serious difficulties, despite the constant stream of children.
Noel underwent a vasectomy during the ninth pregnancy but then had it reversed.
The couple have claimed Heidie is their last baby, after Sue has spent around 6,000 days of her life pregnant.
Sue and Noel are parents to Chris, 33, Sophie, 29, Chloe, 27, Jack, 25, Daniel, 24, Luke, 22, Millie, 21, Katie, 19, James, 17, Ellie, 17, Aimee, 16, Josh, 15, Max, 14, Tillie, 12, Oscar, 11, Casper, 10, Hallie, seven, Phoebe, six, Archie, five, Bonnie, four, and Heidie, three.
Sadly the couple's 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.
The family famously doesn’t rely on benefits and is supported by their pie shop business.
