It's been just over a year since Channel 5 star and mother-of-22 Sue Radford was subjected to money-making accusations by her own daughter.
22 Kids and Counting star Millie Radford - the third-eldest daughter of Sue, 49, and her husband Noel, 53 - took to social media back in April last year, where she insinuated that her parents had been exploiting their grandchildren for cash.
For those unfamiliar with the colossal brood, the Radfords first soared into the spotlight 12 years ago, when Channel 4 documentary series 15 Kids and Counting aired.

In the years that followed, not only did the Lancashire couple welcome a further seven children - becoming Britain's biggest family - but they also went on to star in two further series. The fifth series of 22 Kids and Counting kicked off last week.
The Radfords are no strangers to controversy, with their baby-making way of life having seen them subjected to sporadic backlash over the years.
Last year, however, Sue and Noel were confronted by one of their own children, 22-year-old Millie.
A video uploaded to YouTube last year brought on a bit of a dispute within the family, which subsequently escalated on social media.
In the video, Sue and Noel were seen surprise some of their grandchildren with a fantastic trip to Disney World in Florida, US.
Whilst the three children of their eldest daughter Sophie - Daisy, Ayprill and Leo - seemingly received an invite, Millie's own children, Ophelia and Chester, were sadly not part of the surprise.
At the time, Millie - who has since welcomed another child named Elodie-Jade - reposted the video on her Instagram account, where in an explosive message she accused her parents of making 'money' from her grandchildren and that they are picking their 'favourites'.
"Cute? But you’ve made money from all your grandchildren but choose your favourites," she wrote.
"Said my piece, I recall my kids being in the whole 22 Kids and Counting – not a single sight viewing of the rest in there. bare 1 ep."
For her part, Sue wrote on Facebook while still on holiday "Thank you so much for all your comments, the grandkids’ reaction was just so lovely and had us all crying.
“Please could we just not comment on Millie we are on holiday and don’t want all the drama.”
Tyla reached out to the reps of the Radford family for comment at the time.
Millie and her children featured on the most recent instalment of the series - which airs on Channel 5 every Sunday - and future episodes could give us more of an insight into what actually happened during Sue and Millie's feud.
Last week's episode saw the Radfords dealt a heartbreaking blow, after being informed that they were no longer permitted to move into their 'dream' home after the housing chain fell through.
Sue and Noel first attempted to sell their gigantic family home in Morecambe three years ago, but financial strains prevented them from upgrading to a property that would house their massive brood.
Even though some of their children were old enough to have moved out - with a couple even having welcomed their own tots, including Millie - it was only until recently that Sue and Noel were able to afford a house big enough to house those who remained.
The pair were also spurred on by the increasing number of fans who were found to be loitering around their property, hoping to get a look-in.
The show subsequently saw the family house-hunting, before finally landing on their 'perfect' property in the form of the five-bedroom 2,690 sqft country house, which they made an offer on and were accepted for.
Though sadly, following last week's news, it looks to be back to square one for the family.
