Psychologist who worked with the Radfords reveals early trauma led to brood of 22… & how it became their secret weapon
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH 22 kids the biggest question many people want to ask the Radfords is, 'why?' The huge brood is an eye-watering thought for most, but Sue and Noel, who were childhood sweethearts, were determined to have as big a family as possible. 10 The Radford family are famous for having Britain's biggest brood at 22 kids... and counting Credit: PA 10 Sue fell pregnant with their first child when she was just 13 Credit: The Sun 10 The couple are childhood sweethearts - and psychologist Jo Hemmings reckon their similar upbringings makes them kindred spirits Credit: Getty And, in a rare twist, both were adopted as babies, leading many to wonder if that was the reasoning behind their decision to create Britain's biggest brood. The couple have always denied that their own adoptions had anything to do with their wish to have two football teams of children. But psychologist Jo Hemmings, who worked with the family on their show 22 Kids and Counting, says that there could be deep-rooted reasons linked to their adoption journeys that may have had a subconscious influence. She says people who have been adopted often feel a great sense of comfort when they have a child of their own, to finally have a connection with a blood relative. 'That is quite important,' she explains. 'Because they are both adopted I think that sense of having their own children together would have had much more significance, but not necessarily 22 of them. 'There isn't any science to back it up and say that either one or both parents that come from adoptive families are more likely each to have more birth children of their own. 'What there is some evidence of is that adopted children tend to be brought up in better socio-economic circumstances by their adoptive parents, so they are given a really stable upbringing, perhaps better education. "A lot is put into their upbringing partly because their parents have chosen them rather than given birth to them. 'So there is something in that. If they both grew up in good, stable adoptive families, they feel they have got as much to give back as they had in their own childhoods.' Despite this, Noel, 54, dismissed links between their adoptions and their huge brood in the couple's book, The Radfords: Making Life Count. Mum-of-22 Sue Radford says she'll NEVER meet her birth mum & it's caused 'disagreements' with Noel, who's also adopted He wrote in one chapter: "A lot of amateur psychologists may think the reason me and Sue have had lots of kids must be linked to the fact we were both adopted, but I don't think there is any connection. "Unless someone comes along and sticks some electrodes on our heads, and says after doing some tests, 'Oh, this is why you've got so many kids,' we're just not going to believe any of those theories.' And wife Sue, 50, agreed, saying: 'No, there is nothing in that - because I don't even think about my birth parents. I don't give the fact that I was adopted any thought at all, and never have.' While Sue has always said she has no desire to find her birth parents, Noel met his birth mother earlier this year, with their reunion televised in the latest series of their TV show. Sense of connection 10 Sue and Noel met when she was just seven and he was 11, and got married when Sue was 16 - when they were already parents Credit: Supplied 10 Jo believes people who have been adopted feel a great sense of comfort when they have a child of their own Credit: Supplied Noel and Sue are childhood sweethearts, having met when she was just seven and he was 11. Sue fell pregnant with first child Christopher when she was 13 years old. The couple married three years later and then the children kept on coming. Jo says the couple share a deep bond and work together as a team. 'When you speak to them, they say no it is nothing to do with the psychology of us being adopted, it absolutely is because we felt we have a lot to give, we adore children - Sue especially adores babies," she says. "I don't think their intention was to have so many children, but it worked out for them. I don't think their intention was to have so many children, but it worked out for them Jo Hemmings 'When I have talked to them one thing that comes across is how incredibly gentle and calm they are. You don't see that in many parents who have three, four or five kids, never mind 22 of them. 'There is just that feeling that they had so much to give, they love bringing up children. "They don't claim benefits. They have made money over the years with Noel's successful bakery business and because their TV series have become so successful they have become influencers, in a way. 'I just think they are a remarkable family who have this presence about them. I'm sure there is chaos at times, but when you see them with their children, you don't see it. "They are good, solid, stable, parents, which is amazing. 'They are very straight-talking, they are very resilient. So when there have been problems, you feel that they are a very strong couple together. "Also they are talkers. They sit down and say, 'What are we going to do about this?' They are very open and candid with their children and will talk everything over with them. "They always bounce back and they have this lovely soft energy about them which makes them work brilliantly together as parents.' Driving force 10 Jo says they are a 'remarkable family' who have 'this presence about them' Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 10 Jo commends Sue and Noel for being great communicators with their children Credit: Channel 5 Jo believes the Radfords' incredible parenting skills stem from their own upbringings in their loving, adoptive families. She says: 'Sue was very young when she had her first child. I think their driving force is that they badly wanted to be parents. "I know they are at pains to deny that it is anything to do with the adoptions, and I don't want to go against what they say, but knowing that you can give a large number of children a very stable, productive and healthy upbringing would probably have come from the upbringings they had. 'Often adoptive parents put the extra mile in, they over-compensate for the sadness that they didn't grow up with their birth families. "I think a lot of it comes from the happiness and security that they had when they were growing up.' Often adoptive parents put the extra mile in, they over-compensate for the sadness that they didn't grow up with their birth families Jo Hemmings For years, both Noel and Sue had been adamant that they didn't want to trace their birth families, saying they regarded their adoptive parents as their mums and dads and had idyllic upbringings. But Jo says their background of both being adopted will have made them kindred spirits. 'I don't know how rare it is for two adopted people to get married, but it would have been one of the early conversations they had when they first met,' she explains. 'It would have been one of those bonding things, those shared values, that make relationships solid. "I think having that in common would have been a really important thing for them as they both knew implicitly how the other one might have felt growing up. "I think they were very similar in their views. I think they had all agreed at the time that they had both had such wonderful childhoods, there was no need or drive to seek where they were from.' Meet the Radford children Christopher, 36 The oldest Radford child, Chris works as a glazier and is married to Nicole Spencer. They have three children: Maise-Paige, eight, Jacob, five, and Oakland, three. Sophie Rose, 31 Sophie has her own cleaning company, Time for Sparkle, and shares three children with husband Joseph Bradley: Daisy, 12, Ayprill, 10, and Leo, nine. Chloe Anne, 29 Chloe's a make-up artist and is mum to daughter Milla, two, and son Bodhi, three months, with her boyfriend, Jake Wallace. Jack Richard, 28 Publicity-shy Jack prefers to stay out of the limelight, and hasn't publicly shared his relationship status or career. Daniel Leon, 26 After training to be in the RAF, Daniel had a near-fatal car crash in Bristol, which played out on his parents' TV show. He overcame his subsequent fear of driving in order to emigrate to Australia. Luke James, 24 Luke came out to his parents as bisexual in 2021 - warming viewers' hearts after Sue and Noel attended a Pride festival with him that summer. He works for the family's pie business. Millie Jo, 23 Millie is married to Harley Passmore and is mum to three children: Ophelia, four (from a previous relationship), and Chester, three, and Elodie, one (whom she shares with Harley). Katie Louise, 22 Katie works at a nursery and shares one nine-month-old son, Ronnie, with her boyfriend Connor Carter. James Edward, 21 James is busy working in the family's pie shop and hopes to run it someday. Ellie May, 20 Ellie's training to be a hairdresser, and has also worked part-time in a hotel housekeeping job. Aimee Elizabeth, 19 Aimee's also qualified to be a hairstylist and has famously practised her skills on family members in video clips. Josh Benjamin, 18 According to his parents, Josh was a 'nightmare' at school and he didn't commit to his studies - but that all changed when he found his passion as a sports coach. Max Joseph, 16 Max was diagnosed with autism in 2021, and has since struggled with socialising. Working in the pie shop has apparently helped him. Tillie May, 15 One of Tillie's legs stopped growing when she was just 18 months old, due to an infection. In 2019, she was fitted with a frame to help strengthen the limb, but - last year - it was revealed she'd need further treatment and potential surgery. Oscar Will, 13 Oscar has been described as having 'incredible initiative' at school. Casper Theo, 12 Casper always dreamt of being a footballer, but was gutted on his family's show when he didn't make it into a Premier League club's youth team. Alfie Thomas Alfie would have been the Radfords' 17th child, but he was tragically stillborn at three months. The Radfords refer to him as their 'missing heartbeat'. Hallie Alphia Beau, 10 Hallie's middle name was given in tribute to her late brother, who died just a year before her birth. Phoebe Willow, eight Phoebe has been awarded prizes at school for her achievements, much to her parents' pride. Archie Rowan, seven As the 20th Radford baby, Archie was expected to be the last - marking 'a nice, even number' in Sue's words. Bonnie Raye, six Again, Bonnie was expected to 'finish' the brood, but plans changed. Heidie Rose, five The youngest Radford child, mum Sue has since insisted: 'No, that's it now!' Tragic discovery Things changed for Noel in 2023 when the couple's teenage daughter Ellie was found to have the hereditary liver disorder Gilbert's Syndrome. The couple were tested and Noel was found to be a carrier. He said at the time: 'It's got me thinking, we're both adopted and we know absolutely nothing about our medical history at all. 'I'd quite like to find out more about my family, where I'm from, just anything about myself. 'It might tell me a bit more about who I am, where I'm from, possibly my birth parents. Now, as I'm getting older, I do think about it a bit more often.' Fighting back tears he added: 'I don't even know why I don't like talking about it. I just don't like it. "I have a lot of respect for my mum and dad.' In the opening episode of the latest series of 22 Kids and Counting, Noel reveals he met his birth mother for the first time - and she was shocked by the news of his huge family. He told The Sun: 'It was emotional meeting her and I was nervous beforehand. "You don't know what she is going to look or sound like, and how she will react. "A lot was going through my head, but she was so lovely and so glad to see me. We were with each other for a couple of hours.' His mum, who chose to stay anonymous in the show, told him she was forced to give him up at 17 after she split from his birth father. He added: 'As I have got older, I have been curious to find her,' Noel explains. 'I'm only ever going to have one chance and I've got no regrets that I have.' 10 Noel connects with his birth mum in the latest series of 22 Kids and Counting Credit: Lion TV 10 Sue has always insisted she has no desire to meet her birth parents Credit: Lion TV

Chilling audio of horror near-crash between passenger jet & B-52 bomber as Delta liner forced to make ‘aggressive' move
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHILLING audio has captured the moment a "shaken" pilot apologised to passengers after narrowly avoiding a horror midair crash. The heroic pilot was forced to make an "aggressive maneuver" to avoid an incoming B-52 bomber as those on board watched on from their windows. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A heroic pilot has been forced to make a desperate move in midair to avoid a horror collision with a US AIr Force B-52 bomber Credit: Alamy 5 The pilot said he made an 'aggressive maneuver' as he addressed his passengers Credit: X 5 The flight path of the Delta jet after the pilot was forced to take a series of sharp turns The flight, which was en route from Minneapolis-Saint Paul to Minot International Airport in North Dakota, was due to be a relatively simple 90-minute journey. But the quick-thinking SkyWest Airlines pilot was called into action before landing when he was alerted of a B-52 Stratofortress in his flight path. The bomber had taken off from the Minot Air Force Base on Saturday night without prior warning, local media reports. The commercial Embraer E175 was forced to abort its usual route due to the incoming jet - leaving those on board shaken by a series of sharp turns. READ MORE IN US FLIGHTS STEALTHY SNACK Inside the B-2 bomber behind Iran raid as pilots life lid on snack-laden jet Shortly after the chaotic few minutes, the pilot addressed the situation to the cabin crew and passengers. He apologised for the erratic maneuvers and said once they safely landed he would detail exactly what happened. The already panic-stricken travellers became even more concerned after one reported the pilot's voice as being shaky. Once they touched down in North Dakota, the pilot again spoke to passengers over the plane's public address system. In the recorded audio, the pilot explains how he received instructions from air traffic controllers to change his direction due to inadequate separation from an aircraft on the approach path. The bomber was reportedly travelling at a high speed which concerned controllers and the pilot. Haunting audio from Newark airport as ATC lost all contact with landing planes leaving pilots gasping 'are you there-' The pilot explained: "Given his speed ... I don't know how fast they were going, but they were a lot faster than us, I felt it was the safest thing to do to turn behind it." He then performed a go-around which caused the plane to take a number of sudden movements which startled many of the passengers. "So sorry about the aggressive maneuver, it caught me by surprise, this is not normal at all," the pilot continued. "I don't know why they didn't give us a heads up, because the Air Force base does have radar. "Not a fun day at work." The pilot was quickly praised by the passengers for his calmness under the immense pressure. Passenger Monica Green told KFYR TV: "He was very casual, if you can be casual about something like that, but you could tell he was stressed. "He was almost shaking, trying to find the right words, but he was nice and detailed. "It felt good that they weren't just going to brush it off." The passenger plane was a Delta Connection regional jet being operated by SkyWest Airlines. So sorry about the aggressive maneuver, it caught me by surprise, this is not normal at all Heroic pilot SkyWest Airlines released a statement to the New York Post confirming the frightening journey. They said: "SkyWest flight 3788, operating as Delta Connection from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Minot, North Dakota on July 18, landed safely in Minot after being cleared for approach by the tower but performed a go-around when another aircraft became visible in their flight path. "We are investigating the incident." Minot Air Force Base is home to the 5th Bomb Wing and 91st Missile Wing. Around 26 B-52 bombers are stationed at the base by the US Air Force. It follows another chilling piece of audio on board a US aircraft earlier this year. Air traffic controllers could be heard losing all contact with planes approaching Newark airport in May. One pilot was left asking, "approach, are you there?" as he was met with radio silence from controllers for over 30 seconds in the terrifying recording. 5 A B-52 Stratofortress was travelling at high speeds in the pilot's flight path Credit: Getty
