The Radford family matriarch Sue, 49, has opened up about her husband's "midlife crisis" which viewers can expect to see in the upcoming latest series of the Channel 5 show.
The family first burst onto screens back in 2012 and stole the hearts of viewers, with their family continuing to grow as well as their social media following.
Sue and Noel are parents to Chris, 35, Sophie, 30, Chloe, 28, Jack, 27, Daniel, 25, Luke, 23, Millie, 22, Katie, 21, James, 20, Ellie, 19, Aimee, 18, Josh, 17, Max, 15, Tillie, 14, Oscar, 12, Casper, 11, Hallie, nine, Phoebe, seven, Archie, six, Bonnie, five, and Heidie, four. Their 17th child, Alfie, was stillborn in 2014.
As well as their 22 children, the couple also have 13 grandchildren with one more on the way.
The UK's largest family are gearing up for the latest season of their Channel 5 show which is set to begin on Sunday, July 21, with Sue admitting that fans will see Noel go through a "midlife crisis".
Speaking to OK!, Sue said: "There are lots of things in this series, it will show Noel's adoption story, Millie's engagement is very exciting the wedding should be around the end of this year and Katie's gender reveal is coming.
"Noel had a bit of a midlife crisis. He went on a rambling walk with some ramblers, and took some time out from work.."
Viewers will also see the Radford's youngest, Heidie, get ready for secondary school in September, whilst Sue gets some "me time" and hopes to rekindle her romance with Noel.
"We used to try to have a date night once a month, but things are just quite hectic and sometimes you don't get around to it. I think Noel might take a day off work and we might go out and do something for the day together. We're really looking forward to that in September."
Despite throwing their children into the spotlight at a very young age, Sue and Noel aren't concerned about fame changing their kids and said: "At the end of the day, the kids know we are a normal family.

"We have a few more children than most, but we are just a normal family and they don't see themselves as famous. We're just a normal family with lots more children! I think the kids will always be grounded in that respect."
The couple announced the return of the Channel 5 series on their Instagram and told their followers: "We have an announcement!
"We're so excited to share the news that 22 Kids and Counting will be back on your screens from Sunday the 21st July, on @channel5_tv at 8pm! We can't wait to share everything we've been up to, and we hope you all enjoy watching!"
