The Radford family of 16 Kids and Counting fame have just welcomed baby number 20.

 

Sue Radford, 42, has welcomed her 11th son Archie on Monday 18 September after just an hour's labour.

 

Despite saying this will be her last child, husband Noel won’t be getting a vasectomy.

 

Noel underwent a vasectomy after the couple’s ninth child but later had the procedure reversed when the couple decided to have more children.

 

Sue said the family has reached “a nice even number” with the arrival of baby Archie.

 

 

She wrote online: “We are so thrilled to announce our precious new addition has arrived. We'd like you all to meet Archie Rowan Radford”.

 

The couple announced Sue’s pregnancy by posting an ultrasound photo online and wrote: "Boys - ten, girls - nine and BABY makes it 20. Arriving Sept 2017".
 

Sue and Noel, who are both from Morecambe in Lancashire, have been in a relationship from a very young age.

 

Sue gave birth to the couple’s first child Chris, 28 years ago at the age of 14.

 

Their second child Sophie arrived when Sue was only 17 years old, according to The Mail Online.

 

They’ve since gone on to have an astonishing 18 further children and starred in the TV show 16 Kids and Counting in 2013.

 

 

Posting on their official website, they wrote: “Never did we imagine that when we had Chris all those years ago that we would go onto be blessed with 19 more wonderful children. 

 

“In the Radford house life is busy, hard work and a little bit crazy but we absolutely wouldn’t have it any other way”.

 

Sue and Noel are already proud parents to Chris, 28, Sophie, 23, Chloe, 22, Jack, 20, Daniel, 18, Luke and Millie, 16, Katie, 14, James, 13, Ellie, 12, Aimee, 11, Josh, ten, Max, eight, Tillie, seven, Oscar, five, Casper, four, Hallie, two, and Phoebe, 13 months.

 

They are also grandparents to Sophie’s three children.

 

With so many kids to feed, the family spend £300 a week on food shopping, with 18 pints of milk, three litres of juice and three boxes of cereal being consumed every day.

 

Dad Noel works in a bakery while Sue cares for the family at home.

 

The family do nine loads of washing a day, get through 30 bottles of washing liquid every month and use four toilet rolls a day.
 

Congrats to Sue and Noel on their new arrival.
