Britain's Biggest Family is getting even bigger as Katie Radford has announced she is pregnant.

Sue Radford, 48, is set to become a grandma once again as her daughter Katie, 21, has revealed she is expecting her first child.

The eighth Radford daughter took to Instagram to announce she will be having a baby boy with her long-term partner Connor Carter.

In a sweet gender reveal video, an elated Connor was seen kicking a football filled with blue powder, while Katie let off a confetti cannon which released blue paper. This meant the happy couple were having a son, with the future parents leaping into each other's arms upon finding out the gender of their child.

Fans of 22 Kids & Counting have been following Katie and Connor's relationship from the start, with the latest series showing the pair moving in together.

During one awkward moment viewers watched as Katie asked Sue and Noel if Connor could live with them in their Morecambe mansion.

The parents-of-22 toyed with the decision, with Noel telling cameras: "It’s been a really difficult decision actually…I don’t know, it’s a bit tricky to be honest."

Sue went on to agree: "Connor’s obviously been trying to prove that he can play a proper role in the house. But I’m still not sure. It’s expensive having other people in the house."

A desperate Katie confessed: "I do really want Connor to move in. I think I’ll be really upset if he can’t."

Luckily for the young couple it didn't take long for Sue and Noel to give them an answer and allow Connor to move in.

In a tense chat Sue initially told the pair: "We are at capacity, the house is bursting at the seams." However she went on to change her tune, adding: "You are pretty good with the vacuum, so all good."

Warming up to the idea, Noel stated: "Everyone here needs to pull their weight. But you’ve been working really hard to prove yourself. We like you Connor, you can move in."
