Millie Radford, the 24-year-old star of '22 Kids & Counting', has spoken exclusively about her fourth pregnancy, revealing it was a surprise and that she has struggled with severe sickness. The mother-of-three, who is expecting a boy, admitted the pregnancy was unplanned but a 'nice shock'. She said her husband Harley Passmore is thrilled at the idea of another boy, balancing the family with two girls.
Millie, who works as a cleaner while Harley is a stay-at-home dad, disclosed that she is considered high-risk and attends hospital appointments every two weeks. She may be induced early in September due to complications in her previous pregnancy with daughter Elodie, who had tachycardia and placental calcification. 'My body just gave up a bit earlier than it should have,' she explained.
The reality star, who is already mother to Ophelia, five, Chester, four, and two-year-old Elodie, said this pregnancy has been the toughest. 'The first eight or 10 weeks were really, really bad. I struggled going to work and doing my daily stuff because I was feeling so poorly.' She confirmed that after this baby, both she and Harley will have permanent contraception: 'Four is definitely enough.'
Millie reflected on her upbringing in Britain's largest family, describing the morning routine as 'chaos' with a queue for the bathroom and a timer. She admitted she grew up faster due to helping with younger siblings. Despite the challenges, she values the support network: 'There's always someone there to help when you need it. Mum always makes herself available.'
On her brief split from Harley, Millie said it was triggered by him losing his job and her subsequent pregnancy discovery. 'We had a wobble, but we're a great team. Harley's the one for me.' She joked about his inability to use a washing machine but praised his structured routine with the children.
Looking ahead, Millie is open to the idea of her own spin-off show with Harley. 'We love filming - it would be great to get our own show one day.' She also recalled a family holiday disaster when ESTA visas expired for her and two children, forcing them to fly a day later than the rest of the family.
