A FORMER Kendal woman at the head of Britain's 'biggest family' has announced she is expecting her 18th baby.

But Sue Radford, who attended Kirkbie Kendal School, has told a national newspaper that the newest addition to her brood will be her last.

Sue, who is married to childhood sweetheart Noel Radford, lost their 17th child, Alfie, when she was 21 weeks pregnant with him in July.

The couple run their own bakery and live in a nine-bedroom former care home in Morecambe.
