‘Emotional’ mum-of-22 Sue Radford shares footage of her ‘last baby’ Heidie walking for the first time
MUM-OF-22 Sue Radford has captured the footage of her last baby Heidie walking for the first time.
Sue, 46, from Morecambe, Lancashire, took her bumper brood up to the Lake District for a sunny picnic where her youngest got her stride on.

As her older siblings Bonnie and Archie race around the lakes, one-year-old Heidie can’t resist the temptation to join in.
In the family’s YouTube video, the tot can be seen slowly getting to her knees, and after a wobbly start standing up and taking a few shaky steps before falling back down.
“Good girl!” Sue can be heard encouraging her little one, adding, “She’s doing it, she’s doing it!”
Having sworn off any more kids this will be the last time that Sue will witness one of her children learning to walk, and she admits that she is finding the final milestones ‘emotional.’

The family celebrated Heidie’s first birthday at the beginning of the month which left Sue feeling a little teary.
On the eve of her daughter’s birthday, she said: “I think I’m going to be so emotional tomorrow, our last baby is ONE.”
The mum of Britain’s biggest family revealed in May last year that she was “100 per cent done” with having kids.
Speaking in a YouTube Q&A, she said: “Every other question asked is, will you be having another baby and the answer to that is no!

“Definitely no more – we are 100 per cent done. Done, done, done.”
The busy parents, who support themselves with a bakery and don’t rely on benefits, currently have 19 of their kids living under their roof – which can’t have been easy during lockdown.
This includes Millie, 19, who is still at home after giving birth to her first child Ophelia in September.
The couple are now parents to Chris, 31, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 25, Jack, 23, Daniel, 21, Luke, 20, Millie, 19, Katie, 18, James, 17, Ellie, 15, Aimee, 14, Josh, 13, Max, 12, Tillie, 10, Oscar, nine, Casper, eight, Hallie, five, Phoebe, four, Archie, three, Bonnie, two, and Heidie, one.
Sadly the couple’s 17th child Alfie was stillborn on July 6, 2014.
