Sue recently opened up about her weight-loss journey

She might be the mum of Britain’s biggest family, but Sue Radford, 50, is looking better than ever, even after having 22 children.

During a lavish family holiday to Dubai, the 22 Kids and Counting star turned heads as she posed poolside in a plunging orange swimsuit with ruching.

Pairing the look with oversized black sunglasses and her blonde hair tied back, Sue radiated confidence as she stretched out under the Dubai sun.

Posting the snapshot to the family’s Instagram page, Sue captioned the image: “A little sunbathe before heading out the day today – Love the Sun.”

Her daughter Chloe Radford was quick to hype up her mum in the comments, writing: “Looking absolutely amazing.”

Fans also flooded the post with praise.

“You look amazing! I best stop blaming my three children for my figure. 22 children and you’re on fire,” one follower joked.

“You must be so proud of yourself, Sue. You look amazing!” another added.

“Incredible,” a third fan gushed.

“Beautiful mother,” another agreed.

The glowing appearance comes after Sue recently shed nearly two stone as part of a personal health journey. The mum-of-22 revealed that she’s dropped a dress size.

Sharing a recent shopping experience on Instagram, Sue wrote: “Bought these a little while ago in a size 12. Think I may need to size down now.”

Sue shares two-stone weight loss

Sue has been candid in the past about gaining weight through “eating rubbish food”, but says she now feels “so much more healthier and confident”.

In another post from last month, she proudly posed in a baby pink bodycon mini dress, writing: “I never thought I’d ever wear anything like this again.”

“I feel so much more healthier and confident for losing nearly 2 stone,” the reality star 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.”

Although she didn’t specify how she lost the weight, fans speculated in the comments, with one accusing her of using Mounjaro, a GLP-1 medication used for weight loss.

“Bet she’s on Mounjaro,” one user wrote.

But others jumped to her defence.

“So what if she is!” one commenter hit back. “It’s helped her lose weight and she looks fab. Don’t automatically assume. She could have changed her diet regimen and eaten more healthy as well.”
