22 Kids and Counting Season 5: Teaser trailer

Sue and Noel Radford drop a huge bombshell in the first episode of the new series of Channel 5's 22 Kids and Counting.

The first episode of the fifth series aired on Sunday (July 21) night and the Radford kids shared what they'd like to be when they grew up.

With one of the youngsters wanting to be "a unicorn", another planning on becoming "a silly farmer" and someone else desiring to work as "a figure skater", Sue and Noel revealed they encourage their 22 children to dream big. 

Sue said: "I think when I were younger I wanted to be an air hostess." Her husband Noel confirmed: "You did, didn't you. yeah that's right.

He continued: "I think the only thing I wanted when I was growing up.. I had a picture of a red Porsche on my bed."

In the trailer for the new series an excited Sue and Noel can be seen eyeing the new "stunning," property at a viewing, with Sue confessing to Noel: "You know, I can really see us living here."

Talking to the cameras, Sue then says: "It's a different way of living," as Noel chimes in: "There are fields around us, a bit of our own garden." However, it appears a "development" leads to the chain collapsing, dashing Sue's dreams in the process.

Elsewhere in the series, adopted Noel decides to investigate his biological family, Millie has big personal news, there’s another baby on the way and son Casper takes centre stage as he decides to follow his footballing dreams.

22 Kids and Counting airs Sundays at 8pm on Channel 5
