Heartache for the Radford family as daughter hints at marriage breakdown
One of the Radford family took to social media and hinted that their marriage could be over after they answered a fan's Instagram question about whether they are single The Radford family is set for heartache after one of the children hinted at a relationship breakdown. Daughter Sophie took to Instagram to carry out a question and answer session with her followers. One bluntly asked her: "Are you single?" to which she simply answered: "Yes." She then shut down any further questions on the subject, adding: "That's all that will be said on it." The shocking news comes despite Sophie having been married for almost 10 years. The 31-year-old, who starred alongside her family on Channel 5's 22 Kids & Counting married Joseph Broadley in 2015. The duo have three children together - Daisy Mae, 12, Ayprill Louise, 10, and Leo, nine. However, it now appears that their family dynamic has changed. The answer on her relationship status comes after she had earlier been quizzed on married life. One user asked her: "'How are you and Joe?" She stoked intrigue in details after answering: "How are we... TBC. Privacy'. The couple's split may not be too much of a surprise for some viewers of the reality TV show. Last year she was heard on camera explaining she had hit rock bottom. In the clip, which saw her discuss her life in the run-up to turning 30, she said: "Usually people in their twenties are out partying, but my twenties were very different, I had three kids, all within a year between them. "It's hard going, it's definitely hard going. It's the same routine every day, it's so full on, all the time." She also acknowledged having children had an impact on her married life. "With me and Joe, we used to go out to cinemas, out for meals, go out shopping, do all sorts of things. Had things and it all stopped," she admitted. "Because I've seen my mum and dad so happy, I do feel like I should be like that as well. However, it's not for everyone." Earlier this month, Sophie's sister Chloe issued a 'painful' update to her fans just six days after she welcomed her second child. Deciding to share her 'reality', she said: "Everything seems to be all over the place". Taking to social media, she said: "I feel like we're still just trying to find our rhythm a little bit with everything and get a little routine going because everything just seems to be a bit all over the place.' Pointing to a pile of dirty dishes, she went on: "Here's a bit of reality," before adding: "Bodhi is doing great, I had a health visitor round yesterday and he's only lost 5 ounces - he was 6 lb 1 oz. "Breastfeeding is going really, really well. He's taken to it really well, I'm really proud of us." Despite the good news, Chloe admitted she has been feeling pain."

She revealed: "With me and Joe, we used to go out to cinemas, out for meals, go out shopping, do all sorts of things. Had things and it all stopped. "Because I've seen my mum and dad so happy, I do feel like I should be like that as well. However, it's not for everyone." Sophie also opened up about how she felt about her body, explaining: "I used to be fit as a fiddle and I've let myself go a bit. "Confidence completely shattered. "I've realised I'm not as fit as I used to be and I don't look as good as I used to. "I don't like my legs, I don't like my belly, I don't like my arms, I just don't like anything, at all." Even Sue Radford, recognised the strain Sophie was feeling. She said: "Sophie is a very busy mum, she does long hours at work, she's up early in the morning. "And I sometimes feel, is she stuck in a rut. "I'm not wanting to interfere, but she seems to be in a really bad place, and I'm not sure I can leave it any longer. "She seems quiet and distant recently." While the family rallied around Sophie back in August 2024, organising a birthday trip to Amsterdam in a bid to cheer her up, it is obvious the effects were short-lived.

Kentucky woman grieving after losing both parents in catastrophic London tornado: 'My heart is broken'
LONDON, Ky. – A Kentucky woman who lost both of her parents when a powerful EF-4 tornado swept through the community of London said her heart is broken and there are no words to describe how she's feeling since the disaster struck nearly a week ago. Kentucky officials said at least 19 people were killed in the state when the severe weather moved through, with 17 of those deaths coming from Laurel County. How To Watch Fox Weather "My heart just honestly is broken because this was their stuff," Amanda Radford told FOX News Multimedia Reporter Chelsea Torres. "Even though we were told there was nothing left, there was nothing left. Nothing." Radford was talking about her parents, Richard and Wanda, who were among the victims in Laurel County. She joined FOX Weather on Wednesday and spoke with Meteorologist Stephen Morgan about her unimaginable loss. Kentucky Firefighter Likely Died Shielding Wife From Catastrophic London Tornado: 'Public Servant At Heart' "We've actually been able to uncover photos," she said. "There's also been photos found in Hazard and Knott County from what I've found on Facebook that people have recovered as well. So, their stuff has traveled many miles." The home of Radford's parents was destroyed by the tornado, but hers was relatively undamaged by the storm. "We could feel it," she said. "We got some debris and just some garbage and stuff like that. We didn't really get a lot of like, family photos or anything from the people on our road. We got some tree damage. But other than that, our house was good." London, Kentucky, Tornado Survivors Piled Into Bathtubs, Emerged To Find Everything Gone After the storm passed, Radford said it was shocking to see the devastation. "It's still overwhelming," she said. "As you know, last night they evacuated everybody in the area, so we had to leave our home again last night. But just to come through, it's chilling. There's no words for it at all." Residents in London and surrounding communities were evacuated on Tuesday due to the threat of more severe weather that threatened the area. And now that cleanup and recovery efforts are in full swing, Radford said her parents loved everyone they crossed paths with. Kentucky Family Rescues Trapped Neighbors, Finds Bodies After Deadly London Tornado "My children will remember them as they were," she said. "They were fun. They loved everybody. It did not matter who you were. If you came to them, they loved you." And hearing stories about her parents has been comforting. "They were not my blood parents, but they adopted me and my family," she said. "I just want people to remember them for how they loved. They loved with unconditional love. And honestly, I've never met another couple whose love like they have."Original article source: Kentucky woman grieving after losing both parents in catastrophic London tornado: 'My heart is broken'

Ant Anstead's Radford Motors Files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy amid Fraud Allegations, Missing Supercars
Ant Anstead's supercar company, Radford Motors, has officially filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy following a court hearing on Thursday, May 8. The order issued by Delaware's bankruptcy court and obtained by PEOPLE officially converts the company from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which it has been in since October 2024, to Chapter 7 in order to 'grant relief' amid its ongoing legal issues. Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically calls for the 'liquidation' of a company, according to the United States Courts, and can often result in a company's dissolution. However, it is unclear whether Radford is officially closing its operations as a result of the new filing. PEOPLE reached out to Radford for comment but did not receive an immediate reply. Related: Ant Anstead's Company Promises Clients' Claims of Missing Cars and Refunds 'Will Be Addressed' Amid Bankruptcy Additionally, a complaint filed against Radford on April 4 and obtained by PEOPLE alleges that the company continued to occupy its headquarters in Costa Mesa, Calif. despite their lease having been terminated. The complaint is the landlord's attempt to initiate the eviction process with the court's permission. Related: Ant Anstead Took Huge Deposits from at Least 4 Radford Clients but Never Delivered Cars, Lawsuits Allege Radford first filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Oct. 22, 2024 amid Anstead facing lawsuits alleging fraud and misrepresentation, per documents obtained by PEOPLE at the time. A civil complaint was filed against Anstead and one of his co-founders, Daniel Bednarski, by their business partner, Pastor (Pat) Velasco, on March 8, 2024 in Orange County Superior Court. Velasco claimed he was owed $2 million in the filing, and several months later, another complaint filed by co-owner, Roger N. Behle Jr., alleged Anstead and Bednarski mismanaged the company's finances. Related: Ant Anstead Speaks Out Amid His Company's Bankruptcy Filing, Fraud Allegations (Exclusive) One week after filing for Chapter 11, Radford spoke out about the multiple lawsuits from several clients who claim they never received the luxury custom cars they ordered after paying large deposits to the company. A representative for Radford told PEOPLE at the time that they had received court approval for financing to fund operations, which "will allow the [the company to] work towards completing vehicles in process" as they restructure. The representative added that "any and all claims will be addressed as part of the bankruptcy case," seemingly in reference to the lawsuits filed against Anstead alleging that the company accepted deposits ranging from $100,000 to $750,000, but never delivered the cars or refunded the clients. Related: Ant Anstead's Car Company He Once Called 'a Huge Risk' Files for Bankruptcy After Alleged Fraud (Exclusive) On Oct. 24, 2024, Anstead shared an exclusive statement with PEOPLE amid the company's bankruptcy in which he confirmed that he remained "fully committed" to Radford despite its current "challenges.' "My role and dedication to Radford's success continue unchanged," he said, in part, at the time. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In April 2023, Anstead opened up to PEOPLE about the high-stakes project ahead of the release of his docuseries, Radford Reborn, which also starred one of his Radford Motors co-owners, Formula One champ Jenson Button. "This is personally a huge risk for me," Anstead said at the time. "We have seven people, and we privately funded this. We are doing it. We're risking everything." "I knew that we were taking on a monumentally difficult project in an industry that's really tough because we are up against some big brands with some big funding. We just had to collectively believe in what we were doing," he added. Read the original article on People

BRITAIN'S biggest family may have only just got home from a jaw-dropping holiday to Florida, but they are already away on yet another trip. Last year, the Radford family went on 18 holidays in just 12 months and father-of-22 Noel Radford shared their plans to travel the globe again this year. 9 The Radford family may not long have landed from their £52,000 trip to Florida, but they've now headed off on a trip in their lavish motorhome Credit: Instagram 9 Sue shared an insight into Britain's biggest family's epic weekend on social media Credit: Instagram 9 The kids were seen relaxing on camping chairs outside their lavish motorhome Credit: Instagram 9 But the Radford trip comes just days after Katie Radford's worrying TikTok post Credit: Instagram So if you thought the huge brood were going to slow down, you'll need to think again. Just days after returning to the UK from their epic trip to the States, Sue Radford and her clan have headed off on a weekend break in their lavish motorhome. The Radfords have been on numerous trips in their swish motorhome, which is said to have cost them a whopping £40,000. While the family haven't confirmed where in the country they are spending this weekend, the family's matriarch has taken to social media to show off snippets from their relaxing trip. Yesterday, Sue posted on her Instagram stories showing off some of her children relaxing in a luxe hot tub. Moments later, Sue shared a snap of the family's BBQ, as they prepared koftas and chicken. The mother, who was 13 when she gave birth to her first child, also uploaded an image of their infamous motorhome, which she revealed is 'honestly the BEST thing we've ever bought,' as her kids sunbathed outside and relaxed on camping chairs. Following this, this morning, Sue uploaded a picture of a beautiful blue sky and alongside a heart eye emoji she wrote: 'Breakfast outside.' Even their sausage dog was spotted in the snap, as Sue beamed: "Absolutely love this site.' The Radford's posh Florida trip But the Radford's motorhome trip follows their epic Easter getaway to Florida, whereby the family celebrated Sue's 50th birthday. Inside the Radfords' snowy weekend away in £40k motorhome - as mum-of-22 Sue shares the nifty way she gets some alone time- The Lancashire-based brood enjoyed a sun-soaked extravaganza which was estimated to cost them £52,000. Despite telling The Mirror they have been "feeling the pinch" financially, they were said to spare no expense on the holiday of a lifetime. 9 Sue Radford recently took her family on a bumper Disney trip to Florida for her 50th - and raved about her £1.50 huge drink Credit: Instagram/@theradfordfamily 9 Sue shared behind-the-scenes snaps from their trip Credit: Instagram 9 The Radford family appeared enjoy their villa's pool Credit: Instagram Sue shared snaps from the birthday bonanza, including pictures of her bumper brood at Disney parks and enjoying their villa's pool. While one family shot showed the Radfords posing with Donald Duck, another showed two of her girls wearing matching outfits and backpacks with identical dolls inside - presumably a new purchase during the trip. How does family-of-22 the Radfords afford to live? AS Britain's biggest family, it may come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills. Between them, they have a whopping 22 children and seven dogs, which often has some people wonder how they manage their money. The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds of Noel's bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home. On their website, it says: 'We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family as well as for the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.' The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK. The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm, and some of their children helping out. The older kids, who are working at least part-time, don't get a free ride as they're made to pay a small amount of rent to their parents. "Us older ones do pay a little bit of board. Granted it's not a lot but I'm also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.' their daughter Chloe said in a video on the YouTube channel. Sue added: "We've always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we'd rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer. 'I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We've always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.' Noel and Sue famously don't rely on benefits for their bumper brood and live off their pie shop for income. They also revealed they make money from brand partnerships on social media. The Radford family stars in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting - which has run for four series. Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue have been paid less than £10,000 for each show. He told the Daily Mail: "The typical fee per episode is going to be in the thousands rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with TV shows of this nature. "If they continue to get commissioned for a fourth or fifth season, then they are going to be able to command a higher fee." He estimates that the Radfords make £ 5,000 an episode. Katie Radford's concerning social media post Not only this, but the motorhome trip comes just two days after Katie Radford, who doesn't appear to have joined the family this weekend, sparked concern online that she and her boyfriend Connor Carter have split. 9 Katie Radford recently shared a brutal post about having 'less people' in her life Credit: Tiktok/@itskatiex02x 9 After claiming to find "more peace", numerous fans were left questioning if she and Connor had split Credit: Tiktok/@itskatiex02x Seven months after she gave birth to her first child, Ronnie Hudson Carter, the 22-year-old, who is a member of Britain's Biggest Family and stars in the hit Channel 5 show 22 Kids & Counting, shared a brutal post online about having 'less people' in her life. The brunette, who found out she was pregnant after being with Connor for six years, revealed something that people often say to her, as she penned: 'You don't speak to anyone anymore.' To this, Katie posted a stunning sunset snap from her recent family holiday, which saw Connor absent from all pictures. The Radford Family's TV history THE first ever episode of 22 Kids and Counting aired on Channel 5 on 22nd February, 2021. After the first series - which had just four episodes in it - performed well, Channel 5 commissioned a 10-episode second season, which was broadcast in 2022. They went on to commission a third series, which included a Christmas special aired in December 2023. The fourth season began airing in January 2024, but fans were left disappointed when it stopped after six episodes. Sue and Noel reassured viewers that they were just taking a little break, and the next episode will be airing on 21st July. You can catch up on all previous episodes of 22 Kids and Counting on My 5, here. The third eldest Radford daughter then confirmed: 'Less people, less drama, less stress. More peace.' Following this, she added: 'Honestly the best way.' But fans were left worried after the indirect snaps, as one asked: 'Sorry if a bit personal but have you and Connor split up?' Nt only this, but someone else wrote: 'If you don't mind me asking but are you and Connor still together as I didn't see him on your holiday in Florida."
