- Father-of-22 accused of breaking speed limit along Bay Gateway, in Morecambe
The father of Britain’s biggest family will appear in court tomorrow to face charges of speeding in his Porsche.
Father-of-22 Noel Radford, 53, is accused of driving over the 40mph speed limit along the Bay Gateway link road in Morecambe on December 14 last year.
He is also charged with failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of a Porsche.
Mr Radford, who stars in reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting alongside wife Sue, will appear before Preston Magistrates’ Court.
The Bay Gateway is a three-mile-long dual carriageway between Heysham and his hometown in Lancashire.

Mr Radford stars in reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting alongside wife Sue. Their fourth series aired before Christmas
The family have been in the public eye since 2012 when they first starred in the documentary ’15 Kids and Counting’.
Their fourth series, ’22 Kids and Counting’, aired before Christmas.
Mr Radford revealed in the couple’s recently published new book The Radfords: Making Life Count they had bought three Porches in as many years.
They bought their first model not long after Sue’s 46th birthday, but Mr Radford said they ditched it to replace it with another one, reported The Sun.
‘Then we got rid of that Porsche, because it was c**p,’ he wrote. ‘Then a bit later, in September 2023, we got another Porsche.’
Sue, 49, recently spoke about how she considered leaving her husband after facing difficulties with their business in the 2000s.
The couple had then invested in a location on the high street in bustling Kendal, in Cumbria, to expand their pie shop business.
But an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease – thought to have cost the UK economy £8 billion overall – hit the country and left the pair devastated.
Speaking to the Mirror, Sue admitted that she struggled to see how their ‘marriage would survive’.
‘There were days when I’d think: “that’s it, I’m leaving the business and Noel, I just can’t do it anymore”,’ she revealed.
‘But our marriage has always been strong – and having the kids kept us right. We stuck together and got through it. It was sink or swim and we chose to swim.’
Sue recently threatened to start naming and shaming trolls who abuse her online when she was cruelly branded a ‘disease’ after she published snaps from a recent family holiday.
