Britain's largest family shared the exciting news on social media

22 Kids and Counting's return has been confirmed after the Radford family took to social media to announce an exciting update.

Britain's largest family, consisting of parents Sue and Noel Radford and their vast brood of children, first hit screens back in 2012 and the kids have spent much of their lives in front of the camera.


For their first televised stint in Channel 4 documentary, 15 Kids and Counting, the show followed a few of the biggest families in Britain.

The Radfords then featured in their own series, 16 Kids and Counting after they welcomed another child to their brood.

As the Radford couple continued to expand their family, more series followed and 22 Kids and Counting was the most recent to air last year, with Sue and Noel insisting they wouldn't be having anymore children.

Viewers have been keen to find out if further episodes were coming, and now their wishes have been answered as the family revealed they'd just finished filming another series.

Taking to their official Instagram page, a story posted showed a photo of some camera equipment and the caption: "And that's a wrap on filming for this series".

Despite the couple's vow that their own family is complete, the group is still growing, with Sue and Noel now grandparents of 13.

Their following is always keen for updates, and the large family frequently posts on their group and individual social media accounts to share their latest news, holidays and celebrations.

Recently, Sue took to social media to fume over accusations of "using taxpayers' money" to fund the lavish holidays the family enjoy.

The original remarks, by an account belonging to a user named Adam, read: "You are disease...[It's] paid for by the taxpayer."

The nasty remark came in response to a photo of the family enjoying a holiday barbecue, which prompted Radford to hit back: "I wonder if Adam is a high-rate taxpayer or if Adam pays tax at all?

"Maybe he's a bit p****d he doesn't own a motorhome. I would be too as we b****y love it, paid for with our hard-earned, high-rate, taxpayer's money."

Taking to Instagram Stories, she later added: "Sorry, I'd never share anything like this, BUT we get lots of these so just want to clarify, Adam is a D**K."

She wrote another post the following day to say: "Sorry, I've stewed on this since yesterday and it's wound me up more than it should.

"Sick of messages like this s**t. You need to educate yourself before messaging this s**t as I won't tolerate it anymore."

Going on to add she has more holidays to plan, she quipped: "Off to bed now as we've got lots more holidays coming up, which I'm sure Adam won't approve of.

"All paid for by our money. Make sure to check in Adam, which I'm sure you will!"
