Lime Pictures, who make 22 Kids and Counting, confirmed that "the Radfords are having a mid-series break and will be back later this year".

A description for the fourth season of the show reads: "Sue and Noel Radford, along with their twenty-two children, ten grandchildren, and a lively pack of seven dogs, invite viewers into their extraordinary lives filled with love, challenges, and heartwarming moments.

"In this latest series, the Radfords navigate the uncharted waters of toddlerhood with the youngest members of the family while simultaneously grappling with the complexities of the teenage years.

"How will Sue and Noel deal with the departure of their adult children venturing into the world to start families of their own?"

The show has also touched upon Sue and Noel's decision to move out of their current home in search of more privacy.

And things came to a head in a recent episode, when fans were seen outside the front of their house, taking pictures and hoping to see a glimpse of the family family.

"We were getting people turning up at the house," Noel said.

"You can understand it if people walk past and take a picture.

"But it was just getting a bit too much when they were opening the gate, coming up to the door and knocking on the door."

But some viewers weren't convinced by the scenes, with one writing: "Are these actors? Last weeks was so staged."

"Why is this series so staged?" another question.

"We were really disappointed after loving all the others this one is just too set up."

Sue was unwilling to accept the criticism though, and replied: "Absolutely nothing in this episode was set up I can’t believe people actually would think this was set up!"
