The parents of Britain's biggest family have been busy writing their first ever book, The Radfords: Making Life Count, which is available to pre-order now. It covers everything from their first meeting to bonding over being adopted and having their first child together when Sue was just 14 years old.

Taking to Instagram to share news of the book, Sue Radford said, "So many of you have asked over the years if we'll ever bring out a book and it's something we've wanted to do for a long time and now finally we've found time amongst the chaos of daily life to do it! It's been such a lovely experience, reflecting on our journey to becoming Britain's biggest family from first meeting to every pregnancy, birth and beyond. We love sharing our lives with you and we hope you'll enjoy the book and all our stories old and new."

Where do the Radford family live?

The Radford family live in Morecambe, Lancashire. Being the biggest family in the UK can come with a lot of attention, and a few over-eager fans were turning up at their home, so the couple decided to move their brood to a place in the countryside. However, they also announced on their show that their older children will continue to rent their current house from them.

The family are supported by Noel's business Radford's Pie Company, where some of the children also work, as well as their television show and YouTube account.
