Sophie Radford shares behind the scenes footage from sister Katie’s gender reveal – and the mistake both Sue & Noel made
AFTER the recent news that Katie Radford is pregnant and expecting a baby boy with her partner Connor, her sister, Sophie Radford, has shared behind the scenes footage from the gender reveal.
Just this week it was revealed that Britain’s biggest family will be getting even bigger, as the eighth daughter of the Radford clan announced her happy news on Instagram.
Katie, 21, who is from Morecambe, Lancs, and stars in 22 Kids & Counting, the Channel 5 show, alongside her partner Connor, is expecting Sue and Noel Radford‘s 11th grandchild.
Katie and her long-term boyfriend held a gender reveal party to announce the happy news, with the dad-to-be kicking a football and Katie using a cannon to indicate they are having a son.
“Baby Carter mummy and daddy can’t wait to meet you!” Katie wrote alongside pictures and a video of the party on Instagram.
Now, Katie’s sister, Sophie Radford, the second child of Sue and Noel’s 22 kids, has taken to social media to share behind the scenes footage from Katie and Connor’s big day.
The mum-of-three shared clips of her famous family members sharing their predictions of the baby’s gender, moments before it was revealed.
Alongside the post, Sophie penned: “So so so happy for Katie Radford, a beautiful baby boy.”
In the short clip, we saw members of the Radford clan share their guesses on the baby’s gender.
Katie started off the predictions, as she said: “I’m the mum and I think you are a boy.”
Following this, Sophie added: “I’m the auntie, and I think you’re a girl.”
Whilst some of Katie’s youngest siblings, including Tillie and Max, predicted that she would have a boy, we then saw mum-of-22 Sue, as she beamed: “I’m the nanna and I think you’re a girl.”
Her husband Noel also got the gender wrong, as he agreed: “I’m the grandad and I think the baby is a girl.”
Moments later, Katie and Connor announced the news with their family and friends, as blue smoke poured out of a football as Connor jumped for joy at the news they were expecting a son.
The couple embraced and Katie was clearly shocked at the news, as she held her face in disbelief.
