What did you miss?

22 Kids and Counting stars Sue and Noel Radford have admitted they were forced to move house for privacy when keen fans tracked them down and started dropping by for visits.

The Radfords are Britain's largest family and have built up plenty of fans, but they told Loose Women things had gone a little too far when viewers who'd travelled hundreds of miles to see them began knocking on their door.

What, how, and why?

Sue and Noel Radford have been welcoming cameras into their family's lives for years in Channel 5 series 22 Kids and Counting, but they told Loose Women that they drew the line at fans turning up at their door - forcing them to move house.

The Radfords appeared on Tuesday's episode to talk about their huge family, which includes 22 children (18 of them still living at home) and 10 grandchildren.

In the latest series of 22 Kids and Counting, the famildy are looking at moving house and Noel explained that they made the decision to try to get back some privacy after their documentary's success.

He said: "We did need to relocate - a bit more space, a play area for the kids, but the main reason was privacy. We were getting people turning up at the house. You can understand it if people walk past and take a picture, but it was just getting a bit too much when they were opening the gate, coming up to the door and knocking on the door."

Talking about one particularly memorable visit to their Morecambe home, Sue added: "That was crazy because they'd come from Scotland, they'd been to the pie shop to get a pie and (daughter) Amy had served them and then they'd come to the house and they were stood at the gate.

"The dogs were all out and I was thinking please don't open the gate because the dogs would have got out."

But despite their fame, the Radfords said their children had no problem being filmed, explaining: "Because we've been filming for so long it's just normal to them now, but actually they really love looking back over the years."

What else happened on Loose Women?

The title of their Channel 5 show might suggest the Radfords are considering expanding their family further, but Sue confirmed that they definitely don't want any more children.

Millie, one of the couple's older children, already has three kids of her own and Sue revealed: "Max did a chart and worked out that if Millie carried on having children she'd actually have 26 by my age.

"Millie's adamant that she's definitely sticking to three, she's not having any more."

She added she wouldn't be welcoming any more new additions either and planned to stick with 22 children, saying: "Definitely no more, Heidi will be four in April and we're definitely not having any more."

Loose Women airs on ITV at 12.30pm on weekdays.
