The update has delighted fans who have been patiently awaiting the new series

Sue Radford has shared a huge update on the beloved family's Channel 5 series amid speculation about further episodes.

22 Kids and Counting viewers have been wondering for a while if and when a new series would be on the way, and matriarch Sue, 50, has now confirmed a date.


Along with husband Noel, 54, and their huge clan, Sue will be back on screens this coming weekend.

After months of wondering, fans were left delighted when Radford took to social media on Sunday to share the update.

Posting on Britain's biggest family's official Instagram account, she wrote: "“**EXCITING NEWS ** We are back for a new series of 22 Kids & Counting.

"20th July 8pm Channel 5. We cannot wait to share what we've been up to."

The last series explored Katie's pregnancy journey as well as Millie's wedding, while parents Noel and Sue searched for a bigger property.

It seems the upcoming series will have a strong focus on dad Noel, who will be delving into a search for his birth mother following his adoption in 1971 when he was just 10 days old.

The recent post detailed that the first episode of the new series would be called Finding Mum: 50 Years Apart.

Sue, who was also adopted as a baby, has shared she wouldn't be delving into her own past despite her husband's search.

The series will likely also explore some of the family's recent lavish holidays both in the UK and abroad.

The mother-of-22 celebrated her 50th with another trip with her family to Florida earlier this year, and shared several sun-soaked snaps from the trip.

The £52,000 holiday was just one of the many trips the family has taken this year, with the Radfords also venturing away on their motorhome a few times.

Since the last series, third-born Radford Chloe has also given birth to her own second child, so it's likely this will also be explored.

Fans quickly took to the comments to share their enthusiasm for the news episodes under Sue's post.

One penned: "Can’t wait guys Love watching you guys wow before my birthday."

"Brilliant family," a fourth posted as another agreed: "Yes can’t wait."
