Radford family's war of words, kids who left and those that won't appear on TV
The Radford family have been rocked by a scandal - with daughter Millie making accusations against her parents.
Britain's biggest family, who cram into a former care home in Morecambe, is made up of a whopping 22 children.
But not all of them appear on their show 22 Kids and Counting and some of the kids have moved out of the house, including 22-year-old Millie.
Angry Millie made a barbed comment towards parents Sue and Noel after they surprised some of the grandkids with a trip to Florida - but her children were not included.
Reposting the video on her Instagram, Millie wrote: "Cute? But you've made money from all your grandchildren but choose your favourites...Said my piece, I recall my kids being in the whole 22 Kids and counting - not a single sight viewing of the rest in there.. bare 1 ep."

The Radford family is made up of 22 kids (LeeMcLean/SWNS)The Mirror has contacted the Radfords for comment.
The Radfords first hit our screens in 2012 in Channel 4 documentary 15 Kids and Counting, then 20 Kids and Counting in 2018 to mark their 25th wedding anniversary.
Now they appear in 22 Kids and Counting on Channel 5 - but there are some members of the famous clan we don't see on screen and others who have moved out of the family home.
Millie, who has her own place, gave birth to a baby girl named Ophelia in September 2020.
She revealed details of her traumatic labour as she was rushed into theatre due to birthing complications, later describing how her cute little tot came out "kickboxing" with her fists up.
Millie has now moved out of the family house, but things didn't go exactly to plan as dad Noel got a call almost immediately because his daughter forgot to get food.
One person who isn't in the picture is Millie's ex-boyfriend, who she says had originally vowed to be a part of Ophelia's life but they are "nothing to each other now".
Millie Radford with her children Ophelia and Chester (millieradfordd/Instagram)Speaking in a Q&A video on the family's YouTube channel in November 2020, Millie explained why her ex-boyfriend isn't currently a part of his daughter's life.
"I'm not saying who he is because he's completely out of our lives," she said. "He's in a new relationship, we don't have anything to do with each other."
She continued: "We haven't had anything to do with each other for months – from pretty much the beginning of my pregnancy.

"He just wasn't happy to step up and be a dad so he's never been named."
Eldest son Christopher, who moved out of the family home but lives nearby in Morecambe, has three kids with his wife Nicole.
They are four-year-old Maisie, two-year-old Jacob and baby Nicholas, who is the newest addition to the entire Radford clan having been born in September last year.
Making the announcement on Instagram, grandma Sue said: "I have been itching to share this news all day, welcome to the family beautiful boy!"
Chris Radford lives with his wife and kids (Instagram)Chris, who was born when his mother was 14-years-old, does not appear on the family's Channel 5 show and now works as a glazier having previously had a job at the their bakery.
Sue has explained that Chris wanted to take a step back from the limelight and rarely appears on their social media either.
There is also eldest daughter Sophie, who now lives with her husband Joe Broadley and their three children - Daisy, Ayprill and Leo.
When Sophie left the family home in August 2013, mum Sue admitted she got emotional just walking past their empty room.
"Sophie, Joe and little Daisy moved out of the Radford house today and I can't bare to go past the bedroom without getting upset," wrote Sue.
When Sophie announced her third pregnancy in August 2015, she said she would not follow in her parents' footsteps and wanted to stop with Leo.
"He will definitely be our last - although I can't say the same about mum and dad," she told The Sun.

Chloe grew up as one of 22 (itschloeradford_makeup/Instagram)Describing her excitement at being a mother again she said: "Mum always jokes that I’m not going to stop at three.
"She thinks I will have eight, but that’s definitely not going to happen.
"When we told her about baby number three she was delighted, she's always happy when a new baby is coming along."
Chloe, who is the third eldest child and second eldest daughter, has also moved out of the family home to be with her boyfriend.
In May 2021, Chloe took to Instagram to announce she was leaving the family nest to move in with her partner.
She posted a picture of herself and her boyfriend enjoying a toast to their important milestone together saying: "Few drinks to celebrate LIVING together!!"
Chloe then tagged her partner and joked: "We might need something a bit stronger than a pint."
She has also made it clear that she will be having three children "max" - and not for a few years yet.
