This Morning team take away crying Radford baby
There was a flurry of excitement on Thursday's episode of This Morning. After returning from an ad break, host Cat Deeley couldn't help but exclaim: "I love this mayhem!"
The chaos ensued due to the presence of 18 people crowding the sofa, eager to discuss Channel 5s popular series, 22 Kids and Counting, with some of its family members.
Amidst the clatter, Sue and Noel's grandson Ronnie made his displeasure known, crying out during the live broadcast. Katie, one of the family members, was seen holding her baby in an attempt to soothe him, but to little avail.
Even the ITV crew had to step in when it became clear Ronnie needed more attention. As the cameras rolled and Cat tried to engage with Sue about the ins and outs of their life, a production member swiftly swept in to whisk the infant offscreen, hopeful to quieten his tears, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Ben Shephard addressed the viewers directly, explaining: "We're just passing Ronnie out so he can have a little bit of a walk around the studio. Vicks is taking control! You're in charge now, Vicks."
The whole family erupted into laughter watching the crew spring into action, as Cat cheered on with encouragement: "Come on Vicks you can do it!" Still, young Ronnie's cries persisted in the background while Ben and Cat resumed their interview.
With festive curiosity, Ben enquired about the family's Christmas celebrations, asking pointedly: "How many of you were there? What was the institution like?"
Sue exclaimed: "It was amazing!" recalling the bustling holiday celebrations. Sue disclosed that their children and grandchildren joined them for Christmas dinner, making a joyful crowd of 30 in total.
The Channel 5 celebrity enthused: "Christmas is just such a magical time in our house." Noel recounted how he and Tillie took on the culinary challenge a mountain of festive fare, apparently unfazed by the vast quantity.
During their conversation, attention turned to Millie and Harley's nuptials, which had been captured for a unique television episode.
Ben queried Harley, the family's latest addition, asking: "Harley, as the person who has come into this family, is it quite overwhelming being greeted by the Radfords? What is it like being the son-in-law?"
He responded reassuringly: "To be honest, it's not that bad. Very loving people, very nice, very welcoming." Millie conceded that her extensive family might seem quieter than Harley anticipated; he concurred affirmatively.
With surprising candor, Harley declared: "My house is more crazy than the Radfords'!"
22 Kids & Counting: The Wedding is available to watch on My5 with This Morning contining weekdays on ITV from 10am.
