Sue Radford prevents daughter from visiting family home with young son for 'tough' reason In the most recent episode of 22 Kids and Counting, viewers saw new mum Katie navigate the first few months of motherhood Sue and Noel Radford star in 22 Kids and Counting (Image: CHANNEL 5) Sue Radford prevented her daughter Katie from visiting their family home with her young son in the latest instalment of their Channel 5 reality programme as part of her "tough love" approach. The most recent episode of 22 Kids and Counting showed viewers how new mother Katie was coping with her initial months of parenthood. Katie had relocated from an 11-bedroom family mansion, where she resided with numerous siblings, to a compact flat. She gave birth to her first child Ronnie with her partner of six years Connor Carter last October, though the journey hasn't been entirely straightforward for the 22 year old. During the programme, she discussed her difficulties with two-hourly night feeds and feeling "isolated", expressing regret about leaving the family home, reports the Mirror. Sue is the star of her own TV show (Image: Channel 5) Celebrity SAS chaos as two stars walk out during first episode READ MORE: This follows after a Top Gear presenter confessed he 'never got along' with Jeremy Clarkson whilst making a striking declaration. Shortly after welcoming her son Ronnie Hudson Carter, the pair relocated to a modest flat situated just two hours away from the family residence. Katie has found the situation particularly challenging since her partner Connor returned to employment. Discussing the circumstances, she explained: "A baby takes up a lot of room, there just wouldn't have been room in my mum and dad's house for us all. "Last night, he woke up every two hours...I don't think anything prepares you for having your own, I didn't expect this to be me. Connor went back to work today and it is harder, you've got to do everything yourself. "It is a lot harder living on your own. At home you've got your parents and your siblings to help, whereas when you're at your own place you've got to do it on your own. I wasn't prepared for any of that - the loneliness." Katie is a mum of one Katie confessed that she especially misses her mum and dad and feels quite isolated. Later in the episode, Katie expresses how she misses the hustle and bustle of living at home with her numerous siblings. The young mum has been visiting her family home most days, but her mother Sue felt the need to administer some "tough love". She stated: "She was coming round every single day, 8:30am and then not going back until 6pm - I think she was missing everybody." She further added: "Katie coming round to the house every day is not really gonna help her settle into being in the flat on her own. Trying to help her, there's got to be a bit of tough love there." A clip shows Katie out for a walk with Ronnie as she says: "My mum's text - said I can't come round very strange." She elaborates: "Memories like Ronnie's first smile or his first giggle, I'd like to share the moments with all my family, they're missing out on that. Some days I do regret moving from home."

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHANNEL 5 have quietly axed one of their reality TV shows after just one series.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Channel 5's Wife on Strike has been axed after just one series Credit: Channel 5 3 Wife on Strike featured plenty of fed-up wives quitting Credit: Channel 5 Wife On Strike was first launched in November 2023 but as the series continued, ratings for the show began to dip and it soon fell below one million viewers.

"While the rest of the series eventually aired under a new name, a decision was made to quietly rest the show with no further episodes planned." The Sun has reached out to Channel 5 for comment. In the programme, it saw the wives of the household move out of the home and give up all household chores and jobs.
