Sue Radford shows off two-stone weight loss in clinging mini dress

Sue Radford, mum of Britain's biggest family with her brood of 22 children, has revealed she’s “really chuffed” after she managed to lose two stone in weight.

Taking to social media, the mum-of-22 posted a picture of herself posing in the mirror in a figure-hugging light pink minidress from the family's Florida vacation at Walt Disney World.

Sue, who owns a pie shop with her husband,Noel Radford, captioned the Facebook post: “I never thought I’d ever wear anything like this again but I feel so much more healthier and confident for losing nearly 2 stone.”

The 50-year-old mum continued: “I had put on so much just eating rubbish food and felt awful I’m now back in the 8 stone bracket which is where I wanted to be so I’m really chuffed.”

Absolutely beaming as she modelled the Mickey and Minnie Mouse strappy dress, the family matriarch's holiday tan and big smile were highlighted in the picture, as Sue looked clearly delighted with her newly slim figure.

Several fans took to the post’s comment section to show their support, with one writing: “Well done! Not sure how you manage it, as I always find myself snacking around Epcot!" one person wrote.”

While another commented: “Hats off to you - I know how hard it is to lose weight and I’ve only had 3 babies!”

One user gushed, “You really are an inspiration and a wonderful mum,” and another exclaimed: “You look amazing and look like you haven’t even had any kiddies - let alone your gang!”

But, as is the case with any of the Radford’s posts, the trolls were not far away, with one commenting: “Sue, think you're more than 8 stone.”

One negative comment on the post read, “Bet she on mounjara,” while another user reiterated, “Sorry but there's no way you weigh 8 stone!”

However, Sue’s supporters were not far behind, as one social media user passionately defended the mum of 22: “I really wish women championed other women instead of putting them down 8 stone or 18 stone its far nicer to stand together and straighten a crown or two than dishing out cruel digs. Who cares what Sue weighs she said she feels healthier, confident and chuffed.”

The commenter continued: “Sue That bod of yours is amazing it's nutured, grown your precious children, endured labour, the post partum period and all that comes with time and time over. It's hard being a Mum, we always put us last you've been doing that for over 30 years, raised/raising 22 kids, now helping to raise grandkids to boot. I think you are and look incredible I hope you feel it because ultimately that's all that truelly matters.” [sic]
