Just watching the latest episode - how on earth do they afford to run that household? iPhones for the kids, holidays to Spain for 20 people, a new kitchen.

There is no way a bakery would generate that much money. Would channel 4 really pay that well for their participation in the programme?

And omg the shit they bought

All that nonsense cereal and bowls the size of watermelons.

felt bloody sorry for the 17 yr old , shes over 16 she should be allowed a love life.

She said even though she had another friend with her the boyfriend wander allowed in the room. Noel said it's a rule. There is no logic or reason behind his rule though.

Laughable when you consider how young Sue was when he started touching her Envy < no envy

HelenaDove · 03/01/2019 22:28

if it was a single mum with 21 kids the tweets wouldnt be so supportive...............they would be dripping with misogyny.

@GerryblewuptheER I know! The cakes and crisps were mountainous. I'm pregnant with my 3rd and we're already planning cheap batch meals for us all to save money Blush

exactly potato its so hypocritical Angry

Lepetitpiggy · 03/01/2019 22:29

Our 13 year old doesn't want to come on holiday with us -let alone the 18 year old! Those older boys look thoroughly pissed off!

HowlsMovingBungalow · 03/01/2019 22:29

The comment about all the tv's being smashed up really made me Shock.

What happy family has had 5 smashed up televisions?.

HelenaDove · 03/01/2019 22:30

old enough to work in the pie shop but not old enough to have a social or romantic life. Quelle surprise.

staydazzling · 03/01/2019 22:31

poor buggers, doesnt one have a baby already? a grandchild?

bluebellpillow · 03/01/2019 22:32

The branded cereals and yoghurts must be product placements. They previously said they don't buy branded food to save on shopping and the Radfords are terrible about disclosing #ads. You'll see from IG that their kitchen appliances are #ads but nothing before that was ever disclosed.

HelenaDove · 03/01/2019 22:32

whats that about televisions ? i went to the bathroom to wash my hands.

CelticKiwi · 03/01/2019 22:33

Is there anyway to watch this if you're outside the uk? Previous episodes are available on YouTube. In all the previous episodes the teenage boys look miserable and the younger boys are so violent with each other. It seems like only the girls get attention

Mine wont be having sex under my roof full stop.

bluebellpillow · 03/01/2019 22:33

Sophie had 3 dc at 22. The eldest boy also has 1 dc.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 03/01/2019 22:34

Celtic - bound to appear on YouTube soon enough.
Was aired on C4 tonight so probably won't appear online for a bit.

GerryblewuptheER · 03/01/2019 22:34

All the food they showed would literally have done one day.

Nothing resembling a meal really revealed Itself. Didn't even see any meat in the curry. Just sauce.

Surprised they don't do that Costco thing and buy in bulk. Give a be better than trying to get enough at the supermarket

potatoscone · 03/01/2019 22:35

Mine wont be having sex under my roof full stop.

Well she was hardly going to have sex with her friend alongside. But sex isn't wrong. Your my house won't blow up because someone other than you has sex in it Hmm

staydazzling · 03/01/2019 22:36

70sbaubles, thats what most parents think Grin

HelenaDove · 03/01/2019 22:36

Celtic if you watched the earlier ones you would have seen the older girls doing a LOT of childcare The older boys do none of it.,

staydazzling · 03/01/2019 22:37

I bet there glad theyve outdone the duggers now Hmm

HowlsMovingBungalow · 03/01/2019 22:37

I don't like slating folk but it makes my mind boggle on how you can afford a new kitchen 3 weeks before the 21st baby is born, or a hotel abroad for all. How many fucking rooms booked?

CelticKiwi · 03/01/2019 22:38

I saw the younger boys saying that Chloe does everything, bathing them, dressing them etc. By attention I mean that Sue goes shopping with the older girls, almost like they are her only friends, neither she or Noel seem to interact with the boys

potatoscone · 03/01/2019 22:38

They get paid for TV work. They get paid and sponsored for their advertising. They are making money out of their family.

Redcrayonisthebest · 03/01/2019 22:40

I was intrigued because when she was talking about schools she said her primary age kids attended two different primary schools. Anybody know why? Is she just talking about infant and junior schools or does one or more of the kids have additional needs?

jmh740 · 03/01/2019 22:41

They didn't have branded food it was all from aldi/Lidl?
