Pregnant Chloe Radford admits she is ‘struggling’ as she reveals secret battle that’s ‘getting worse’
CHLOE Radford has admitted she is ‘struggling’ with her second pregnancy and revealed her symptoms are ‘getting worse’.
Three months after she shared that Britain’s biggest family is due to get even larger, the 29-year-old, who is already mother to adorable daughter Mila, two, with her security guard boyfriend Jacob Wallace, shared a candid ‘bump update’ with fans.

The blonde beauty, who previously opened up on feeling ‘guilty’ and wanting to ‘cry all the time’, is now 26 weeks pregnant with her second child and claimed that her bump has ‘definitely popped’.
Sharing all with her 96,500 TikTok followers, the content creator explained: “First off, my heartburn/acid reflux is getting worse.
“I was in bed the other night and I was nearly sick from it, it was so bad.
“The next morning I actually was sick from that. It’s getting worse so I do actually need to go to the shop and get some Rennie’s or something.”
Not only has Chloe been secretly struggling with heartburn, but she’s also been dealing with painful back ache too, as she added: “My back pain/pelvic pain is quite bad. It feels like a shooting pain.
“So I’m not sure if he’s maybe sat on a nerve or I’ve got a bit of sciatica pain or whatever, I’m not sure.”
Noel and Sue Radford’s second eldest daughter then confirmed: “This pregnancy is so different, just completely different to Mila’s.
“I had such an easy time with her, whereas I feel like this time I am struggling a bit more.
“I’m not enjoying it as much as when I was pregnant with Mila. Just the aches and the pains and all the symptoms.”
Not only is she ‘really not enjoying it as much’ this time around, but Chloe, who works as a bakery manager at the family’s Radford Pie Company, also shared: “Even though he’s got an anterior placenta, I can actually see him moving around and things. That’s amazing because I never really got that with Mila.
“I’ve got an appointment with the midwife in two weeks and I think that’s when they will start measuring the bump, which I’m really excited to see how he’s measuring.”
Chloe, who began her relationship with her partner Jacob in 2021 and gave birth to their first child on July 23, 2022, also opened up on her current sleep battle, as she confessed: “It’s all just typical pregnancy symptoms, I just need the acid reflux and heartburn to just calm down a little bit, because it’s not nice, is it?

“Aside from that, I’m feeling good, just tired. I can’t sleep properly.
“I feel like I’m not really going into much of a deep sleep. I’m tossing and turning, not getting comfortable and having to get up to go for a wee all the time.”
Who's who in the Radford family?

How does family-of-22 the Radfords afford to live?
AS Britain’s biggest family, it may come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills.
Between them, they have a whopping 22 children and seven dogs, which often has some people wonder how they manage their money.
The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds of Noel’s bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home.
On their website, it says: “We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family as well as for the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.”
The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK.
The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm, and some of their children helping out.
The older kids, who are working at least part-time, don’t get a free ride as they’re made to pay a small amount of rent to their parents.
“Us older ones do pay a little bit of board. Granted it’s not a lot but I’m also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.” their daughter Chloe said in a video on the YouTube channel.
Sue added: “We’ve always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we’d rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer.
“I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We’ve always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.”
Noel and Sue famously don’t rely on benefits for their bumper brood and live off their pie shop for income.
They also revealed they make money from brand partnerships on social media.
The Radford family stars in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting – which has run for four series.
Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue have been paid less than £10,000 for each show.
He told the Daily Mail: “The typical fee per episode is going to be in the thousands rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with TV shows of this nature.
“If they continue to get commissioned for a fourth or fifth season, then they are going to be able to command a higher fee.”
He estimates that the Radfords make £ 5,000 an episode.
One person said: “Poor you Chloe, I was like that but it’s all worth it in the end.”
Another added: “You still look amazing.”
A third commented: “Try bicarbonate of soda in milk or water. It’s awful but it certainly works.”
Whilst someone else chimed in: “I swear by Trebor extra strong mints. They work better than Rennie’s or Gaviscon.”

Dublin weather today: Strong winds to batter for HOURS before flood & hail as Met Eireann pinpoint freezing temperatures
STRONG winds will gust over Dublin tonight as the capital is battered by rain.
Met Eireann confirmed that conditions will remain “mostly dry and settled” next week after strong winds today and tonight – but warned that temperatures will plunge below freezing in just a few days.

The forecaster said today will be dry with a mix of cloud and hazy sunny spells this morning before conditions turn cloudier this afternoon with “the chance of a little drizzle”.
Conditions will turn breezy in Dublin through this afternoon, with fresh and gusty southerly winds developing in temperatures of 10C to 12C.
Met Eireann confirmed that the wind will continue to hit the capital overnight.
The weather bosses said: “Breezy tonight with rain arriving from the west early on and continuing through the night.
“Lowest temperatures of 7C to 9C in fresh and gusty southerly winds.”
Alan O’Reilly said it will be late evening before Dublin is expected to see the rain, warning that it will be “a very wet start in the morning in the east and southeast”.
O’Reilly said some spot flooding is possible but confirmed that the heavy winds will “ease down for a time” tomorrow morning.
Met Eireann said tomorrow will be wet and cloudy at first, but rain will clear eastwards later in the morning with sunshine and scattered showers following.
The weather bosses said there is a “chance of hail” early in the afternoon.
Temperatures will be at their highest between 9C and 10C, with moderate, occasionally fresh southwest or west winds.
Met Eireann said the weather in Dublin will become mostly dry with long clear spells as showers become isolated early tomorrow night.
The rain will become mostly confined to Atlantic coasts as temperatures plunge to their lowest between -1C and 3C – with the weather bosses warning of frost and ice forming.
‘SOME UNCERTAINTY’
Looking towards the rest of the week, Met Eireann said: “Mostly dry and settled for the rest of the working week. Chilly during the nights. Some rain next weekend.”
The forecasters said Dublin will be “mostly dry with good spells of sunshine” on Wednesday, with just a few light showers possible near western and northwestern coasts.
Temperatures will peak between 6C and 9C before dropping between -2C and 2C on a “dry, clear and cold” Wednesday night.
On Thursday, it will be another largely dry and sunny day with moderate temperatures peaking between 7C and 10C.
Met Eireann said Dublin will experience another mostly dry day with spells of sunshine on Friday – but the forecasters warned that cloud may gradually build from the west.
Temperatures will be at their highest between 6C and 9C.
Looking towards next weekend, Met Eireann said: “Some uncertainty as rain may encroach from the west at some stage but overall, plenty of dry weather is still signalled.”
Elon Musk teases huge update on Neuralink brain implant patient leaving people shocked over ‘phenomenal achievement’
ELON Musk’s Neuralink has claimed a human patient used one of its brain chips to control a robot arm with their mind.
In a short clip posted on X, a robot arm holding a pen slowly wrote the word “convoy” on a whiteboard.
![a man stands in front of a screen that says neuralink](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/neuralink-logo-elon-musk-photo-922792823.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
![a poster about musk 's neuralink brain chip](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ac-09_05-neuralink-graphic.jpg?strip=all&w=717)
Convoy is the name of the Neuralink study focusing on using the company’s N1 brain chip to control a robotic arm.
“I don’t think most people understand what’s happening here: Neuralink’s patient is controlling a robotic arm with his mind,” one onlooker wrote on X.
“Not a joystick, not a muscle sensor, just his thoughts.”
Musk replied, to seemingly confirm what people were seeing in the video, saying “true”.
The 30-second clip doesn’t reveal who is controlling the machine.
Three human patients have had the chips inserted in their brains so far.
The Convoy study, first announced in November, aims to give people with disabilities, particularly quadriplegics, the power of limb control.
“I’m one of the many paralysed people so happy for his progress with Neuralink,” a second person wrote on X.
A third person called the progress a “phenomenal achievement”.
In March, Neuralink’s first human patient to have the N1 surgically implanted in his brain, Noland Arbaugh, successfully used the technology to control the mouse cursor on his laptop.
Arbaugh, a quadriplegic, used the tech to play Mario Kart and live stream on his PC using just his brain.
He previously had to rely on mouth-operated controllers to play video games.
The N1 brain chip reads brain signals, and translates them into Bluetooth-based commands that can control a remote device – like a game controller, or robot arm.

What is Neuralink?
Here's what you need to know...
- Neuralink is a project that aims to embed computer chips in people’s brains
- The idea is to give humans hyper-intelligence by merging them with artificial intelligence
- Tiny threads thinner than a human hair would pump information into your noggin
- It would work a bit like an internet cable, transmitting data in and out at high speeds
- As well as making us smarter, the project promises to merge us with computers and phones
- That means you could control your gizmos with your brain
- Neuralink is bankrolled by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk
- He’s previously said the tech could save us from a machine uprising in future
Gordon Elliott suffers massive Cheltenham Festival blow with stable star Gerri Colombe ruled out for season
GORDON ELLIOTT has suffered a massive Cheltenham Festival blow with stable star Gerri Colombe being ruled out for the season.
The big Gold Cup hope has suffered a serious setback – but it is not career-ending.
![Three jockeys racing horses over a hurdle.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/riding-gerri-colombe-clears-last-893369612.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
It means Willie Mullins’ awesome Galopin Des Champs has hardened to 4-7 fav to win a third straight Gold Cup.
Elliott said: “Unfortunately Gerri Colombe has met with a setback which means he will not run again this season.
“It’s not career-ending or especially serious but it’s come at the wrong time of the season so we’re going to have to rule him out of the spring festivals.
“It’s a big blow for ourselves and the Robcour team but we will concentrate on getting him right for next season when hopefully all roads will lead back to the Gold Cup.”
