Sue Radford has revealed how she has dropped a whopping 3st without restoring to weight loss jabs.
The TV personality, 50, who shares 22 children with her husband Noel, 55, has been showing off her new slimmed down figure on social media.
One snap has seen her stun in a plunging orange swimsuit during a recent holiday, before later slipping into skintight workout gear.
Now in a new interview Sue said how ‘proud’ she was of herself after embracing a new healthy lifestyle with strict diet and intense exercise regime.
‘I think because so many people are taking [weight-loss medication] now, they automatically assume you are – but no I haven’t’.
‘I turned 50 last year and it was a big turning point. My weight had been creeping up, I was eating too many junk foods and snacks like graze boards in the evening and I wanted to do something about it’.

She told The Mirror, ahead of a new series of her family TV show 22 Kids & Counting: ‘I’ve cut out all sugar, pasta, bread, snacks and junk. I’ve been going to the gym every day in the week and trying to be healthy. I have lost three stone since turning 50 last April and I feel amazing. I also feel so much better.’
Her hard work appears to be paying off, and the post attracted floods of comments from followers marvelling over her figure.
One wrote: ‘Thought you were one of the girls… Well done Sue,’ while another agreed, saying: ‘I thought you were Aimee (her 19-year-old daughter).’
A third wrote: ‘You look amazing, well done to you, Sue,’ and a fourth said: ‘I’m convinced you’ve never looked better, you are glowing.’
Sue and her husband Noel are well known as Britain’s biggest family as they share children including Chris, 36, Sophie, 32, Chloe, 30, Jack, 28, Daniel, 26, Luke, 25, Millie, 24, Katie, 23, James, 22, Ellie, 20, Aimee, 19, Josh, 18, Max, 17, Tillie, 15, Oscar, 14, Casper, 13, Hallie, 10, Phoebe, nine, Archie, eight, Bonnie, seven, and Heidie, five.
Elsewhere in the interview Sue confirmed that her eldest daughter, Sophie, has split from her husband, Joe Bradley, following 10 years of marriage.
She also shared that she and her husband had realised the split had been ‘brewing for a while’.
Noel added that he and his wife have known Joe for a long time, but they want him to be happy, too.

Sue and Noel are parents to 22 children (seen in 2018) – Chris, 36, Sophie, 31, Chloe, 29, Jack, 28, Daniel, 26, Luke, 24, Millie, 23, Katie, 22, James, 21, Ellie, 20, Aimee, 19, Josh, 18, Max, 16, Tillie, 15, Oscar, 13, Casper, 12, Hallie, 10, Phoebe, eight, Archie, seven, Bonnie, six and Heidie, five. Sadly, the couple’s 17th child, Alfie, was stillborn on July 6 2014
When asked if they would like their daughter Sophie to meet someone new, Sue said that Sophie is in ‘no rush’ and is getting herself into a routine now that she is a single mother.
However, they would like to see her with someone new when she is ready for a new relationship.
It follows the news that the Radfords have enjoyed extremely lucrative business endeavours in recent times, managing to triple their wealth thanks to their various enterprises.
Sue and Noel tripled their cash, and as of February 2025, they have a net worth of £975,000, according to The Sun.
Feeding and caring for their brood isn’t cheap – so the parenting duo devised multiple avenues of income over the years.
The Lancashire-based family have made their riches from filming six seasons of their Channel 5 show, 22 Kids And Counting, book deals and their own online pie business.
Fans of the family have previously accused the family of living lavishly, with the Radfords forking out £7,000 at Christmas alone – though both parents have insisted they are ‘not wealthy’.

However, documents from Companies House reveal the family likely have a blossoming bank balance since since tripling their wealth over the 2024 financial year.
Sue and Noel became active directors of their company, TRF21 Limited, in 2019, which was described as providing ‘media representation services’.
In the 2024 financial year, the company pocketed a generous wedge of cash, with the company’s net worth rising 493 per cent in 2024.
The rise means the pair ended the year with £124,647 in capital and reserves, as well as £78,695 set aside for future liabilities, as reported by The Sun.
The reason for the family’s growing wealth is likely down to a handful of factors, with Sue and Noel holding numerous streams of income.
The couple own a pastry shop called Radford’s Pie Company, near their home in Morecambe, which has seen impressive growth in recent times.
In the 2024 financial year, the company saw a 177 per cent increase in value from £78,837 in capital and reserves – up from £28,470 in 2023.
Elsewhere, the family have relied on income from their various other ventures, including social media partnerships and brand deals.
While Sue previously lamented being called an ‘influencer’, there’s no denying that the family’s social media platforms have become an integral part of their income.
