The Radfords, famous from Channel 5's 22 Kids and Counting, are over the moon as they welcomed a brand new bundle of joy to their already massive brood.

The elated grandparents, Noel and Sue Radford, took to Instagram to announce that their daughter Katie has expanded the clan with the arrival of her baby boy.

With pure joy, they shared on their social media: "Welcome to the world Ronnie. Katie and Connor, he's just amazing. Very proud Nana and Grandpops."

Meanwhile, Katie couldn't resist sharing more about the sweet tot's arrival on her own page, revealing: "Tuesday 8th October born at 5:03PM weighing 7:11 the day you changed our lives forever little man, Mummy and Daddy love you so much RONNIE HUDSON CARTER."

Social media was soon abuzz with heartwarming comments for the doting parents. Adulations poured in, with one fan gushing: "Congratulations another Radford in the world, he is adorable," smothering their congrats with kisses.

Ebullient fans carried on sending wishes, with one remarking: "OMG congrats. Little Katie has a baby, where does the time go?." Another excitedly congratulated, saying: "Congratulations all of you, especially Katie and Connor. Sue, did you ever consider just how many grandkids you could end up with when having 22 babies yourself? Love your huge family."

Katie and Connor first shared their exciting news on an episode of their family's show, which aired earlier this year. Connor moved into the Radford family home with Katie, but Sue, the family matriarch, didn't seem to mind at all - in fact, she seemed to relish having another member in the household.

She confessed that she was "dreading" the idea of an empty nest before admitting: "We adore being surrounded by kids, so I'd love to adopt or foster. We're not having any more of our own, so it's definitely something we'd think about when ours are older."
