“The children are totally besotted with the newest member of the family.”

Mum Sue has not ruled out having more children saying friends and family have told her to have another baby to make the total a round 20.

The Radfords, who live in a four-storey former care home in central Morecambe and run their own bakery business at Strawberry Gardens, Heysham, are widely acknowledged as Britain’s biggest family.

They appeared on the Channel 4 documentary series ‘15 Kids and Counting’ in 2012, and the follow ups ‘16 Kids and Counting’, ‘17 Kids and Counting’ and ‘18 Kids and Counting’.

The couple were childhood sweethearts and had Chris when Sue was 14, then got married at 17.
