Sue Radford's lucrative earning platforms divulged as 22 Kids and Counting family gets bigger

Sue Radford has become a household name after starring alongside husband Noel in 22 Kids and Counting, which details the extraordinary life of Britain's largest family.

The parents are often quizzed over how they afford to support so many children, and while the exact earnings from the pair's pie company aren't known, it's clear the business is very lucrative.

Radford parents Sue and Noel own a £1million property and have always emphasised they don't rely on handouts.

The pair's eighth daughter Katie, 21, and boyfriend Connor announced this week they are expecting a baby - meaning the family is expanding further.

Despite rumours, the family is very self-sufficient and most of the income they use comes from Noel's family bakery as well as their platforms on social media and TV series.

In 2021, the family revealed they had outgoings of more than £1million in 2021, so fans have speculated they must have an impressive net worth.

Most of the family live in a 10-bed home in Lancashire, which is said to be worth £957,000, as reported by The Daily Mirror.

The bakery company seems to generate a significant profit, and many of the Radford children are also old enough to pay their way at home.

Sue has previously revealed they do receive a small amount of money from their older children who still live at home.

"We've always said if you want to buy somewhere, rent is dead money so we would rather you saved that money up and stayed at home for a bit longer," Sue once stated.

"But me and Noel believe they should pay board, if they are earning we've always been brought up to pay board."

Social media is another form of income for the family, with Sue and Noel taking some earnings through brand partnerships.

Their YouTube channel boats 369,000 subscribers, and their Instagram account has more than 500,000 followers.

Along with this, they are paid a fee for their Channel 5 reality show. There have been four series of the show, but the exact earnings the family make from this haven't been revealed.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

The show started off in 2015 as 15 Kids and Counting, with the brood growing further since.

Sue recently hit back at comments about how the family afford their lifestyle, emphasising: "It's our money!"

After being accused of funding their holidays through "the taxpayer," she stated: "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."
