Chloe Radford issues 'painful' update as 22 Kids and Counting star shares her 'reality'
22 Kids and Counting star Chloe Radford has issued a 'painful' update to her fans just six days after welcoming her second child as she decided to share her 'reality' Chloe Radford has opened up to her fans as she gave a "painful" update. The 22 Kids and Counting star welcomed her second child last week as she introduced her followers to newborn baby Bodhi Reign. She was already a proud mum to daughter Mila as she said: "Here's to life as a family of 4!!! My heart is so full." However, Chloe, the daughter of Sue and Noel Radford, has since admitted "everything seems to be all over the place". The reality TV star, 29, candidly opened up on her life as a family of four just days after giving birth to her child with security guard boyfriend Jacob Wallace. She filmed herself in pyjamas while making breakfast as she filled her fans in on the whirlwind few days. Chloe 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.' She pointed to piles of dirty dishes, and added: 'Here's a bit of reality.' Chloe continued: "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. The TV star shared: "I've got one really sore boob. I put one of these on last night [a cooling pad], because I was really struggling to feed him on this side because it was just so painful. 'I had this on last night and it feels so much better, so I did actually manage to feed him again on that side.' Chloe then asked daughter Mila what she thinks of her baby brother, as she simply quipped: 'Cute.' The bakery manager of the family's Radford Pie Company told the camera: 'She's been amazing with him, she just wants to cuddle him all the time. But yeah, I feel like we're just trying to find our rhythm and a new routine. I look knackered. But yeah that's the update.' Chloe had kept fans updated throughout her pregnancy as she admitted it was "scary" and "nerve-wracking". Taking to TikTok to update her 100,000 followers on her health, Chloe assured fans her baby was "absolutely fine". Yet, revealed she had been suffering with high blood pressure and had an induction date booked in as a result. She said: "Hey, guys, so update on where we're at with pregnancy and everything like that. "I went to the day assessment unit today and they were monitoring my blood pressure again and I was on the monitor as well. Baby boy is very happy in there - he's absolutely fine." Explaining she didn't know why her blood pressure was high, she continued: "My blood pressure - so they do it four times over the space of an hour - and it was ok the first two times and then the other two times it was high again. "I don't know why, because I was literally just sat relaxing, so I have no idea why." She added: "And exciting news is that we have an induction date which is not far away. "It's really, really exciting, but it's also really scary and nerve-racking. I know that we've really not got long now until we meet him and have him in our arms, so that's exciting. That is obviously only if he doesn't come beforehand, which I don't think he will, to be honest."

Chloe Radford shares ‘most precious moment' after becoming a mum-of-two
JUST three days after giving birth to her second child, Chloe Radford has shared a super 'special moment' in a very heart-warming clip. The 29-year-old, who is mum to adorable Mila, two, with her security guard boyfriend Jacob Wallace, recently welcomed her newborn son into the world. 6 6 6 6 Chloe and Jacob's second child, Bodhi Reign, was born on 28 April 2025 and is Sue and Noel Radford's 14th grandchild. The blonde beauty, who is Noel and Sue's second eldest daughter and began her relationship with her partner Jacob in 2021, took to social media to share the adorable moment her daughter Mila met Bodhi. Posting online, the content creator who stars in the Channel 5 show 22 Kids & Counting, uploaded her short video with the caption 'This was the most special moment and was even more precious than I'd imagined all these months. She spent a good five minutes taking him in.' At the start of the clip, we saw Chloe sitting on the sofa in her home with a moses basket close by, just moments after getting home from the hospital. Chloe's daughter Mila, who was born on 23 July 2022, quickly ran into the shot, as mum-of-two Chloe asked: 'Do you want to see your surprise?' The parents pointed to the moses basket, alerting the two-year-old to her new baby brother. While the tot initially stared in shock at Bodhi, she soon got off of Chloe's lap for a closer look. Desperate to hold her younger sibling, Chloe proceeded to get Bodhi out of his moses basket, leaving Mila beaming. Barely able to contain her excitement, Mila begged: "On my knee!" Seconds later, Mila was seen holding her new brother on her lap - with Chloe's support of course - and couldn't stop smiling as she remarked: 'He's tiny.' Britain's biggest family grows even bigger as mum-of-22 Sue Radford gets 14th grandchild To this, the third oldest Radford child, who works as a bakery manager at the family's Radford Pie Company, agreed: 'He is tiny isn't he?' Chloe's fans beam At the time of writing, Chloe's sweet clip had been on TikTok for just 50 minutes, where it was posted under the username @ itschloexa, but had quickly amassed 18,400 views, 1,728 likes and 56 comments. Chloe's fans were left beaming with the adorable moment and many raced to the comments to congratulate the mother. One person said: 'Congratulations. She's going to be an amazing big sister.' Another added: 'Congratulations to you all he is absolutely beautiful.' 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. A third commented: 'That's lovely. Congratulations to you all.' Meanwhile, someone else chimed in and beamed: 'Awwwww made me smile.' As well as this, another fan simply penned: 'Just priceless.'

I don't know why, because I was literally just sat relaxing, so I have no idea why. 'I also had my bloods taken, which I should get the results in the next day or so and I think that's just testing for pre-eclampsia. 'My blood pressure is still high for some reason, so they've upped it to three blood pressure tablets instead of two a day.' Chloe, who is Noel and Sue's second eldest daughter then added: 'And exciting news is that we have an induction date which is not far away.

Responding to her health update on TikTok, Chloe's fans shared their experiences of being induced, as one told the mum-of-one to prepare for a 'long wait'. Giving their advice, they said said: 'I was induced with my third baby, the pessary never worked but the hormone drip did. It was a lot of waiting around. "Unfortunately it took four days until I eventually had him. Be prepared to pack more.' However, another shared: "'I was induced at 37 weeks due to having high blood pressure. I had a really positive experience. "Had my waters broke at 11:53am and then had the hormone drip a couple of hours later.'

‘Can't believe you' people slam mum-of-22 Sue Radford for controversial parenting decision on £52k family holiday
MUM-OF-22 Sue Radford has come under fire for a controversial parenting decision on lavish family holiday. The bumper brood have been enjoying a £52,000 Florida trip for mum-of-22 Sue's 50th birthday. 3 3 But while the family were checking out the Disney parks, one member of the Radford brood was left behind - 29-year-old Chloe who is currently pregnant with her second child. The blonde beauty who is already mother to adorable daughter Mila, two, with security guard boyfriend Jacob Wallace, recently told fans how long the couple have got until the due date. Sharing all with her 158,000 Instagram followers, the content creator who stars in the Channel 5 show 22 Kids & Counting, lifted up her top to show off her big baby bump. Alongside the clip, Chloe attached a viral audio, originally recorded by reality TV star Kylie Jenner. As Chloe cradled her bump, the audio said: 'So I'm 34 weeks today. 'Only got a month left.' Alongside the short video, Chloe, who is Noel and Sue Radford's second eldest daughter and recently admitted that she is "struggling" as she opened up on a secret battle that was "getting worse", wrote: 'Reached the point in pregnancy I can finally use this sound.' The third oldest Radford child, who works as a bakery manager at the family's Radford Pie Company, then shared: 'Feeling very uncomfortable. ' Braxton Hicks all the time, constantly being kicked in the ribs, lots of heartburn and so many aches.' Despite this, Chloe, who began her relationship with her partner Jacob in 2021 and gave birth to their first child on July 23, 2022, expressed: 'All worth it though and everyday is closer to meeting him.' However, with the due date now fast-approaching, critics slammed mum Sue for going on a lavish holiday - as she had already missed the birth of her 13th grandchild last year while enjoying a holiday in Dubai. Katie Radford, 22 - the eighth eldest of Britain's largest family - gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Ronnie Hudson Carter, back in October 2024. Despite the mum-to-be wanting Sue, then 49, to be present for the birth, a booking blunder from Noel meant parents of the brood ended up missing the arrival of Ronnie - much to Sue's disappointment. After sharing a series of holiday snaps on the family's Instagram account, Sue was met with a barrage of abuse. One critic said: ''Can't believe you've gone away so close to Chloe's due date after the drama when Noel booked you to go away close to Millie's due date.'' The comment, liked more than 30 times, saw one person agreeing by simply stating: ''True.'' Luckily, not everyone came after the mother-of-22, as the majority of people sided with Sue. ''Chole is a adult & lives with her partner,'' wrote one fan of the family. ''Chloe is an adult, I'm sure she was fine about it,'' another hit back at the trolls. How many people are in the Radford family? Sue and Noel Radford have 22 children and 11 grandchildren. Noel - Born December 24, 1970 Sue - Born March 22, 1975 Chris - Born May 7, 1989 - married to Nicole Spencer and have three children: Maisie (June 3, 2017), Jacob (July 31, 2019), and Oaklyn, September 21, 202 1). He is a stepdad to Nicole's four kids Sophie - Born December 13, 1993 - married to Joe Broadley and have three children: Daisy (August 27, 2012), Ayprill (October 13, 2014) and Leo, (December 24, 201 5) Chloe - Born July 31, 1995 - dating Jake Wallace and have one child: Mila (July 23, 2022), and due to have baby number two in 2025 Jack - Born April 9, 1997 Daniel - Born March 3, 1999 Luke - Born October 1, 2000 Millie - Born August 29, 2001 - married to Harley Passmore and have three children: Ophelia (September 12, 2020), Chester (February 20, 2022), and Elodie (September 19, 2023) Katie - Born November 14, 2002 - dating Connor Carter and have baby Ronnie (October 8, 2024) James - Born October 17, 2003 Ellie - Born May 6, 2005 Aimee - Born April 21, 2006 Josh - Born July 3, 2007 Max - Born December 11, 2008 Tillie - Born May 2, 2010 Oscar - Born October 22, 2011 Casper - Born October 3, 2012 Alfie - Stillborn July 6, 2014 Hallie - Born June 3, 2015 Phoebe - Born July 24, 2016 Archie - Born September 18, 2017 Bonnie - Born November 6, 2018 Heidie - Born April 3, 2020 It comes after Chloe recently expressed: 'This pregnancy is so different, just completely different to Mila's. 'I had such an easy time with her, whereas I feel like this time I am struggling a bit more. 'I'm not enjoying it as much as when I was pregnant with Mila. "Just the aches and the pains and all the symptoms.' As well as this, she shared: 'Even though he's got an anterior placenta, I can actually see him moving around and things. "That's amazing because I never really got that with Mila. 'It's all just typical pregnancy symptoms, I just need the acid reflux and heartburn to just calm down a little bit, because it's not nice, is it? 'Aside from that, I'm feeling good, just tired. I can't sleep properly. 'I feel like I'm not really going into much of a deep sleep. I'm tossing and turning, not getting comfortable and having to get up to go for a wee all the time. 'I'm so on edge that he's going to come early. I'm just worried that he's gonna be early. I'm freaking out, I'm really freaking out.'
