Britain’s biggest family has welcomed their 22nd child amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The couple, Sue Radford, 45, and husband Neil, 49, announced the birth of their 22nd child, a baby girl weighing 7lb after ten-hour labour at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary in the city of Lancaster, England. The child becomes their 11th daughter.

Sue told the Sun:

“I was more scared than I had ever been going into hospital with everything going on with the virus.

“I was so worried that Noel wouldn’t be allowed to stay with me.

“It was the strangest birth yet but by the end of it, I would say it was actually one of the best experiences I have had.

“We can’t settle on a name we all like but we can’t register her now anyway because of corona.”

The large family live in a ten-bedroom former care home in Morecambe, Lancashire.
