The mother-of-22 shared a holiday snap to announce her recent weight loss

22 Kids and Counting matriarch Sue Radford has shared her new look following some major lifestyle changes.

The Radfords are Britain's biggest family, with parents Noel and Sue fronting the huge clan.


Their Channel 5 show, 22 Kids and Counting, is currently in its seventh series, and the family are also avid social media users, so fans are always kept updated on the latest family news.

Mrs Radford, 50, has been sharing snaps from the family's current trip to Disney World, Florida, a location the Radfords often holiday.

Among the photos Mrs Radford shared, one showed the mother wearing a figure-hugging pink dress.

Along with her sun-kissed complexion, she boasted a trimmer appearance and noted she had lost an impressive two stone.

Sharing the snap on the Radford's Instagram Story and Facebook page, she penned: "I never thought I'd ever wear anything like this again but I feel so much more healthier and confident for losing nearly 2 stone.

"I had put on so much just eating rubbish food and felt awful I'm now back in the 8 stone bracket which is where I wanted to be so I’m really chuffed."

The post was met with a flood of complimentary comments from fans, with one writing: "Jesus, you look absolutely amazing after 21 kids, I don't look nothing like that after 2!!"

"Same I've had two children and ended up with no end of health issues. I've gone from a size 8 to a 18. Hats off to her," an other commented.

A third wrote: "I cant imagine what size I would be with a Pie business and birthing an extra 19 kids. Looking fab."

"Well done you look amazing! Looking after all the kids keeps you fit I bet!" another penned.

"You look amazing Sue wish I was 8 stone don't think I've ever been that weight I eat too much lol," another commented.

However, many were forced to rush to Mrs Radford's defence when some decided to troll the post.

One cruelly wrote: "Sue think Ur more then 8 stone," while another remarked: "Sorry but there's no way you weigh 8 stone! You look good but definitely not 8 stone."

Responding to the comments, many were quick to defend the Channel 5 star.

One replied: "I really wish women championed other women instead of putting them down 8 stone or 18 stone its far nicer to stand together and straighten a crown or two than dishing out cruel digs.

"Who cares what Sue weighs she said she feels healthier, confident and chuffed why wouldn't anyone think good on her!"
