BRITAIN’S biggest family has just got even bigger as Katie has given birth to her first baby.
The 21-year-old posted adorable photos of the new arrival on her Instagram page and shared how she has had a boy.
Katie shared: “Tuesday 8th October born at 5:03PM weighing 7:11 the day you changed our lives forever little man.
“Mummy and daddy love you so much.”
Katie then revealed her baby’s name is Ronnie Hudson Carter, taking the surname of her partner Connor Carter.
Her post showed her with her baby bump, followed by pictures in the hospital with Ronnie.
New dad Connor seemed over the moon, and wrote on his social media page: “Little man finally made an appearance as we are so made up.”
The Radfords are Britain’s largest family, with Morecambe-based parents Noel and Sue having 22 kids.
Little Carter is Sue and Noel’s 15th grandchild.
Katie’s family were quick to share their excitement on her post, with mum Sue writing: “Another grandchild to love welcome to the world Ronnie.”
Her sister Millie, 22 – who has three children herself and is engaged to be married to partner Harley Passmore – wrote: “My beautiful nephew.
“I could cuddle him all day. We are all so proud of you Katie.”
Meanwhile, Chloe, 29, commented: “Precious boy, so incredibly proud of you both.”
This follows there being no expense spared for Katie’s recent baby shower, which had a Winnie the Pooh theme.
There was a blue, yellow and green balloon arch for people to pose for photos underneath, and more balloons adorning the venue and tables too.
“So pleased with how the decorations turned out,” Sue wrote over a snap of the venue all set up for the occasion.
Guests tucked into a delicious afternoon tea, and finished with a shower favour – a cookie with ‘Katie’s baby shower’, or ‘Hunny’ written on the front.

Sue has shared her joy of having grandkids multiple times, and said on YouTube: “I just love being a grandma.
“It’s such a lovely feeling. I get all the cuddles and can hand them back!”
Meanwhile following the birth of Millie’s first child, Sue shared on Instagram: “It’s such an amazing feeling watching your own children become parents themselves.
“I’m so proud of her.”
Sue and Noel Radford‘s children are: Chris, 35, Sophie, 30, Chloe, 29, Jack, 27, Daniel, 25, Luke, 24, Millie, 22, Katie, 21, James, 20, Ellie, 19, Aimee, 18, Josh, 17, Max, 15, Tillie, 14, Oscar, 12, Casper, 12, Hallie, 9, Phoebe, 8, Archiem 7, Bonnie, 5, and Heidie, 4.
The stars of Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting don’t rely on benefits and support themselves with their pie shop business.
In addition to this, Sue and Noel have four step-grandchildren.
In Sue and Noel Radford’s book, The Radfords: Making Life Count, which is a number one best-seller on Amazon, the couple discussed their ‘healthy’ addiction’.
The couple wrote: “We haven’t just been addicted to love during our long and happy marriage – for most of it, we have also been addicted to having children.
“As addictions go, we think it was a pretty healthy one because it was motivated by nothing other than love – love for each other, and the love of having children.
“We are Britain’s biggest family, and proud of it. This wasn’t the plan, however. Indeed, looking at the size of our brood, you might think there was absolutely no family planning involved whatsoever!
“How we actually came to have 22 kids – rather than the three we had originally been thinking about – is all explained in the following pages, along with so much else.”
When it comes to the possibility of baby number 23, Sue shared: “No, I don’t think so – though we have said similar things before! But no, that’s it now.”
To this, Noel chimed in: “We’ve said similar things plenty of times before! But seriously, Heidie is three now, so yes… we’re enjoying our sleep at last!
“And we no longer have to worry about kids being at that age when they pick things up off the floor and stick them in their mouths.”
A BRITISH beautician is facing up to 60 years in jail in America for allegedly bringing £3.5m worth of cocaine home from a holiday in Mexico in her suitcases.
Kim Hall, 28, was detained at Chicago’s O’Hare airport as she was waiting for her connecting flight to Manchester.
Homeland Security investigators swooped after finding 43kg of cocaine in two suitcases.
But Kim insists she was forced to carry the bags for two men who had offered her a free holiday to Cancun but threatened her once she was there.
And her desperate family back home in Britain insist that all she is guilty of is “stupidity and naivity”.
Her dad John, 59, said she was offered the free holiday by people she met on an earlier trip to Portugal.
They claimed they were property developers and invited her to stay with them.
But while there they coerced her into carrying two suitcases home which they had packed and which she thought were full of $250,000 in cash, she has told her family.
John said: “She’s not a drug smuggler.
“She was told that it would be money she was carrying. They got her phone and threatened her family and that’s why she did it.
“She’d been to Portugal with a friend and met people over there who contacted her when she was back saying they were into real estate in Mexico and she could go for a free holiday.
“Her friend declined but she said she would go.
“She’s never been into trouble, nothing at all. She’s had a good upbringing and has always worked for her money.
“The only thing she’s guilty of is being stupid and being naive.”
Kim, a self-employed beautician, of Middlesbrough, was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver after her arrest in August.
As the amount she was allegedly found with is more than 900 grams the offence is in the top bracket for sentencing – it is a Class X Felony which carries 15-60 years in prison.
She has already made a number of preliminary appearances at the Circuit Court of Cook County and is being held in Chicago awaiting trial, which could be a year off.
Her family, who have had to shell out £28,000 for a local attorney, are terrified about her physical and mental well-being.
John added: “For the first few weeks, you couldn’t speak to her for the tears.
“She said: ‘You don’t understand what they were threatening me with’. That’s as much as we can get out of her.
“She’s petrified.
“Without a shadow of a doubt she was forced into carrying this stuff back. And I’m not just saying that to try and protect my daughter.
“I’m telling you that as a father who knows a daughter inside out.”
A Cook County court spokeswoman said: “Her next appearance is on November 13.”
