Sue Radford, a 38-year-old mother, is pregnant with her 17th child, according to a report by Daily Mail. This newest addition to the family, expected in April, comes just 11 months after the birth of her 16th child, Casper.

The Radfords, residents of Morecambe, Lancashire, have a large and growing family. Their children include Chris, 24, Sophie, 19, Chloe, 18, Jack, 16, Daniel, 14, Luke, 12, Millie, 12, Katie, ten, James, nine, Ellie, eight, Aimee, seven, Josh, five, Max, four, Tilly, three, Oscar, two, and Casper, 11 months.

After her 12-week scan, Mrs. Radford expressed her excitement on Facebook, saying, 'We are so excited to announce Radford baby 17 will be joining this family in April.' She also shared that her children are thrilled about the new baby, with little Tilly saying, 'Mummy you have a baby in your tummy.'

Mrs. Radford and her husband Noel, 41, own a bakery and live in a former children's home. They use a minibus for transportation. Mrs. Radford first became pregnant at the age of 14 and has since had a baby approximately every 17 months over the past 23 years.

A family friend described the Radfords as 'a lovely family' with 'well-behaved' children, noting that they are 'obviously great parents.'

The recovered account cited reporting by The Standard.
