The pregnant daughter of Britain’s largest family has given a sneak peak into the nursery of her imminent baby girl – complete with sparkly letters and adorable prints.
Millie Radford, 18, the seventh eldest child of Sue and Noel Radford, from Morecambe, Lancashire, is set to welcome her daughter Ophelia in September.
It comes after Millie announced the pretty name for her daughter on May 13 – using sparkly ornamental letters adorned with pink bows to spell out the moniker.
She posted the latest update of the nursery on Tuesday 9 to her 48,900 Instagram followers and captioned the post: ‘Baby girl’s nursery coming along nicely.’

The picture, which has since garnered 9,936 likes, showed a white SnuzKot, which is advertised for £499, with a delicate pink blanket draped over the side – embroidered with the name, ‘Ophelia’.
To complement the colour scheme, Millie opted for light pink wallpaper and added three prints – including an elephant, titled ‘be strong’, a giraffe, captioned ‘stand tall’ and a lion cub, with the words ‘be brave’.
Millie announced her pregnancy shortly before her mother Sue, 43, welcomed daughter Heidie on Friday 3 April – the 22nd child in Britain’s biggest brood.
And Ophelia will buck the trend from Millie’s sisters after Sue called all of her girls with names ending in an ‘ie’ sound.

The 18-year-old conceived during a six-month relationship with a boy around the same age. Despite the couple no longer being together, the father has vowed to be part of Ophelia’s life.
Millie told The Sun: ‘We didn’t use protection. I knew there was a risk of pregnancy but I didn’t think it’d be so easy.
‘And I didn’t worry about STIs, as I trusted him. I’d known him for years.’
And after the test which revealed she was two-to-three weeks pregnant in early January, Millie revealed how her ‘fear’ quickly turned to ‘excitement’ – despite being apprehensive about telling her parents.
But she said Sue and Noel, 48, who run a bakery business, were ‘excited’ with the new arrival which will make them grandparents to five.

After the arrival of baby Heidie in April, the next most recent child is Bonnie Raye, who was born in November 2018, with the others being Chris, 30, Sophie, 25, Chloe, 23, Jack, 22, Daniel, 20, Luke, 18, Millie, 17, Katie, 16, James, 15, Ellie, 14, Aimee, 13, Josh, 12, Max, 11, Tillie, nine, Oscar, seven, Casper, six, Hallie, four, Phoebe, three, and Archie 22 months.
The couple met for the first time when Sue was seven, before going on to have their first child when Sue was 14 and Noel was 19.
They got married in 1993 when Sue turned 18, and went on to have nine children before Noel had a vasectomy – which he later had reversed.
Sadly Alfie, the couple’s 17th child, was still born on July 6th 2014.
