The Radford family is set to get bigger as a new addition joins "the tribe" of 22 children.

Sue and Noel shot to fame as they gave viewers an insight into the UK's biggest family on Channel 5 show 22 Kids and Counting. However, their daughter Katie has since dropped a surprise on her parents meaning there will be another addition to the large family. The 21-year-old made then sudden announcement in an upcoming episode.

Katie appears to have a big question for her parents. In a teaser for the show posted on the Radford's Instagram, Katie said: "Mum always says the house is too full at the minute but we could maybe squeeze one more person into my room." Sue quizzed her fourth eldest daughter after noticing she had been "loitering all day".

Dad Noel also believed Katie was after something. She eventually told her parents: "You know Connor pretty much lives here anyway? Basically can Connor move in with us? Join the tribe." Connor is Katie's long-term boyfriend and has made appearances in previous episodes of the Channel 5 hit.

It is yet unknown if Katie gets what she wishes, but Sue's response to the question appeared blunt as she replied: "Oh." If Connor ends up moving into the family home, Sue would be sure to make him help out. The mum-of-22 and grandmother of 13 and counting spends an astonishing amount of time wiping, cleaning and hoovering away to keep their house in shape.

She doesn't employ anyone to help and last year left fans astonished by explaining how much time she spends looking after the house. Sue revealed: “I can start the housework in the morning, when the kids go to school, and I will not get that finished until I’m picking the kids up, at like 3pm." Noel then chimed in: “That’s a full-time job in itself.”

Daughter Chloe recently shared how she walked out on her partner Jake after a huge row on their daughter's birthday. Chloe was seen arriving to her parents house with Mila after the fight as she asked them for help. Sue said: "We didn't really know that Chloe and Jake were unhappy. I guess you don't really ever know what's going on behind closed doors, do you?"

Chloe revealed her frustrations to her dad as she said: "He does like go out with his friends and to the gym. I'm just like, well we're here all day, we're never seeing you, you've not got much time for Mila... You're really not really giving us any of your time. I'm just doing everything for Mila - cooking, cleaning, the washing. It should be that we are fifty-fifty on household responsibilities and with Mila. To me, that seems fair."

Chloe ended up living with her famous parents for a month and eventually moved to a flat with Mila. Thankfully for the couple they managed to turn things around and got back together during the show.
