Sue, 44, from Morecambe, Lancashire, happily announced that she was 32-weeks pregnant two days agoShe now only has six weeks left until her latest daughter arrives.
The expectant mother shared a selfie on Instagram as she showed off her baby bump in a royal blue top.
She posted on Instagram yesterday: "I turned 32 weeks on Wednesday. This pregnancy is flying by I can't believe she'll be here in just 6 weeks time.
"We also still can't decide on a name."Sue first fell pregnant at the age of 13 and has kept expanding her family to become Britain's biggest family.
But she said the Radford family claims no benefits, other than Child Benefit and the family's bakery business.
Their numerous brood includes: Chris, 30, Sophie, 25, Chloe, 23, Jack, 22, Daniel, 20, Luke, 18, Millie, 17, Katie, 16, James, 15, Ellie, 14, Aimee, 13, Josh, 12, Max, 11, Tillie, nine, Oscar, seven, Casper, six, Hallie, three, Phoebe, two, Archie 18 months, and Bonnie, one.They have three grandchildren from their eldest daughter, 25-year-old Sophie. These Daisy, six, Ayprill, four, and Leo, two.
They also have a granddaughter called Maisie from son Chris.
Some of the oldest offspring have since moved out and started families of their own with Sue and Noel being grandparents to four.
Bonnie had the same due date as Alfie who was stillborn in 2014.
After Archie was born, the couple said it was "strange" knowing he would be their last.
And when the entire family appeared on ITV's This Morning in January 2018, Sue said: "Archie is definitely going to be the last Radford baby."But eldest daughter Sophie, who has three kids herself, shook her head and claimed she "can't see her mum stopping" - and she wasn't wrong as months later Sue fell pregnant with Bonnie.
Childhood sweethearts Sue and Noel's first child, Chris, was born when Sue was aged just 14.
The parents were both given up for adoption after they were born, and they decided to keep Chris and raise him as teenage parents.
They got married and had their second child, Sophie, when Sue was 17.Noel even had a vasectomy, later reversed, after baby number nine.
The pair face a monumental task each day just to feed, clothe and ferry about their huge brood.
They spend an estimated £30,000 a year of their own money bringing up their children - including birthdays with a reported budget of £100 per child and Christmas at £100 to £250 per child.
