Sue and Noel Radford’s blunt four-word answer when asked about their sex life

Parents-of-22 Sue and Noel Radford have made a surprising confession about their sex life.

When it comes to making 22 babies, it goes without saying that the couple must have been very active in the bedroom.

But Sue and Noel Radford have made an unexpected claim about their sex life after clarifying they have no plans to have any more children.

The stars of 22 Kids and Counting, a Channel 5 series following the lives of the huge family, made a confession in the new series of the reality show.

They first shot to fame in 2012, after the channel discovered the family and decided it would make a great watch for viewers.

Sue welcomed their first child, Chris, when she was 14 years old in 1989.

Following that, she has been pregnant for a total of more than 16 years.

And on top of their already giant family, the pair also have 13 grandchildren.

Sue doesn't work, which prompted viewers to question how on Earth they afford to live.

But according to the family, Noel's income has been enough to support them so far, despite fame helping in recent years to fund their lifestyle.

During an episode which aired last Sunday (18 August), the ghost-writer of Sue's book, Paddy, was at the house asking some questions.

He asked the couple: "Somebody would like to know 'Is your sex life today just the same as it ever was?'"

And despite most viewers presuming that the pair must be quite active in the bedroom, their response was surprising.

Sue didn't mess around with her answer: "We prefer sleep now, don’t we."

"Yeah," agreed Noel, while Paddy said: "That's a great story that".

Due to the enormity of the family, the couple own a 10-bedroom house in Morecambe, much of which they share with fans on their Instagram account with 404k followers.

Noel has previously shared that he had a vasectomy at the age of 32, but later decided to reverse the decision.

Talking to the Sun, he said: "You think about the ages we were - me 32, and Sue 28 - and how many more kids we may have wanted in the future and how many we could have actually had if we decided to not go ahead with the vasectomy.

"But we weren't asked anything like that... It's horrible to say, but they could also have asked, 'What happens if you separate?'

"You're both still young - what if you end up wanting a family with someone else?"

Despite this, the couple are going strong and have been married for 31 years.
