Mum-of-22 Sue Radford reveals date for daughter Millie’s wedding – but frets she doesn’t have an outfit & it’s soon
WITH 22 kids, Sue Radford is going to be mother of the bride or groom on more than a few occasions.
But as her daughter Millie’s wedding fast approaches, the family matriarch has admitted she’s struggling to find the perfect outfit for the big event.
Sue also revealed that the nuptials are happening soon, as she took to her Instagram Stories to reveal her style quandary.
“Booked in my next hair appointment today for Millie and Harley’s wedding in just over nine weeks’ time,” she wrote.
“So EXCITED but I’m really struggling to find a mother of the bride outfit I love, so if anyone has any recommendations, I’d love for you to share please.”
While Sue said she usually goes for Phase Eight dresses as she loves their options, she added that she wants to go for “something a bit different” for this occasion.
“But it has to be petite which is so difficult to find!” Sue sighed.
Bride-to-be Millie also shared Sue’s post on her own Instagram Stories, as she urged fans: “Please comment your favourite place to shop MOB dresses!”
While Sue hasn’t revealed the recommendations she received from her followers as yet, Karen Millen, Coast, Hobbs and Oasis all do petite occasion wear, so are likely to have been suggested.
Sue is believed to be around 5ft tall, and previously admitted she sometimes shops in the kids’ section at stores like Primark in a bid to find outfits that fit her petite frame.
Millie and Harley got engaged earlier this year, when the dad of two of her three children popped the question at Disneyland.
The moment was special for Millie on more than one occasion, as she revealed Harley dropped the ring as he was overcome with nerves.
A little boy luckily found the sparkler, but Harley struggled to get it on Millie’s finger as it was a bit tight.
“I must have put a bit of timber since being here,” Millie told Sue and dad Noel at the time.
“Cos I was an M (ring size) before we got here. It’s a bit small.”
Millie Radford's relationship timeline
Millie is the seventh child and third daughter of parents-of-22 Sue and Noel Radford.
She shot to fame when the family landed their own Channel 5 show, 22 Kids and Counting, in 2018.
Millie got pregnant for the first time aged 18, and welcomed daughter Ophelia into the world in September 2020.
Millie is no longer with Ophelia’s father, whose identity remains a secret, as they broke up not long after she got pregnant.
The reality star opened up about her relationship with him and said: “He just wasn’t happy to step up and be a dad so he’s never been named.”
On February 20, 2022, she welcomed her second child, a son called Chester.
Millie kept her pregnancy secret until her due date and in March 2022, she opened up about Chester’s birth in a question time “catch up” on her Instagram stories.
She also identified Chester’s dad for the first time, revealing he was her secret boyfriend Harley Passmore.
In May 2023, Millie revealed she was expecting another child with her partner.
Her baby, a daughter named Jade, was born in September 2023.
In April 2024, Millie excitedly told fans Harley had asked her to marry him during a trip to Disneyland in Florida.
In July, mum Sue let slip that Millie and Harley will be tying the knot before the end of the year, and even shared a snap of the bride-to-be looking at potential wedding dresses.
She later added: “Anyways guys, wedding will be a while off yet. So we’ve all got time.”
Millie has since shared pictures of herself shopping for a wedding dress, as she attempts to get everything perfect for her big day.
