22 Kids and Counting fans have been left divided after the family shared their new business venture – a spin-off series 22 Kids & a Wedding.

The show synopsis reads: “Wedding bells are ringing for the Radfords. Britain’s Biggest Family is back, and this new series kicks off with all the drama and excitement as Millie and Harley plan their dream wedding, but will they get their perfect day?”


Millie Radford, daughter of Sue and Noel Radford married her long-term partner Harley Passmore in a stunning ceremony at Wennington Hall in Lancaster.

The couple, who got engaged at Disney's Florida castle earlier this year, tied the knot on November 23, surrounded by loved ones.

Excited about the announcement of the show, Millie reposted the initial post on her Instagram story and penned: “Can’t wait for you all to see how eventful it was to the lead up to our wedding. @harleypassmore @theradfordfamily.”

Fans of the show were thrilled to hear the news, with one commenting underneath the post: “Cannot wait!!”

Someone else penned: “On my 11 year anniversary with my now husband our favourite program is back.”

“I am so looking forward to watching it on Sunday,” another added before a fourth quipped: “Cannot wait for the new series love 22 kids and counting.”

One pleased fan expressed: “I can't wait. I love your family.”

However, not all fans of the show were pleased with the announcement as someone noted: “Didn’t watch the last series too set up so I probs won’t bother with this one either I prefer their YouTube it's all real.”

“We had the most amazing day with everyone, I’m so proud of my whole entire family everyone looked amazing I was bursting with a beaming smile all night.

“So proud to call them my family. Without a doubt they all made our day even more special.”

The announcement comes after the family received backlash for their “overkill” Christmas as they showcased the amount of presents they had.
