HER wedding is a couple of months away.
And Millie Radford is getting the final bits organised before the day she says “I do” to fiance Harley Passmore.
Mum-of-22 Sue Radford took to her Instagram Stories to share an inside look at Wennington Hall in Lancashire, where Millie will be tying the knot.
“Spent a lovely afternoon talking wedding prep at the wedding venue,” Sue wrote, over a picture of one of the stunning lounges inside the venue, which only opened in spring this year.
“So exciting!” she added, tagging Millie, Harley and her husband Noel.
Wennington Hall is situated between the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Ribble Valley, and has four locations from which couples can choose for their civil ceremonies.
It has capacity for 140 guests in the main hall for the wedding meal, and can accommodate 250 guests in the evening.
It’s also been crowned the North East’s Hotel Venue of the Year, North West’s Events Team of the Year and Best Venue in Lancashire.
But it isn’t cheap to get married there, with packages starting at a whopping £8,995.
After the big day, the wedding party have the option to stay at the venue, while new husband and wife Millie and Harley will undoubtedly be in the Honeymoon Suite.
The visit to the wedding venue comes after Sue revealed she was struggling to find the perfect outfit for Millie’s big day.
“Booked in my next hair appointment today for Millie and Harley’s wedding in just over nine weeks’ time,” she wrote on Instagram.
“So EXCITED but I’m really struggling to find a mother of the bride outfit I love, so if anyone has any recommendations, I’d love for you to share please.”
While Sue said she usually goes for Phase Eight dresses as she loves their options, she added that she wants to go for “something a bit different” for this occasion.
“But it has to be petite which is so difficult to find!” Sue sighed.
Bride-to-be Millie also shared Sue’s post on her own Instagram Stories, as she urged fans: “Please comment your favourite place to shop MOB dresses!”
While Sue hasn’t revealed the recommendations she received from her followers as yet, Karen Millen, Coast, Hobbs and Oasis all do petite occasion wear, so are likely to have been suggested.
Millie is the seventh child and third daughter of parents-of-22 Sue and Noel Radford.
She shot to fame when the family landed their own Channel 5 show, 22 Kids and Counting, in 2018.
Millie got pregnant for the first time aged 18, and welcomed daughter Ophelia into the world in September 2020.
Millie is no longer with Ophelia’s father, whose identity remains a secret, as they broke up not long after she got pregnant.
The reality star opened up about her relationship with him and said: “He just wasn’t happy to step up and be a dad so he’s never been named.”
On February 20, 2022, she welcomed her second child, a son called Chester.
Millie kept her pregnancy secret until her due date and in March 2022, she opened up about Chester’s birth in a question time “catch up” on her Instagram stories.
She also identified Chester’s dad for the first time, revealing he was her secret boyfriend Harley Passmore.
In May 2023, Millie revealed she was expecting another child with her partner.
Her baby, a daughter named Jade, was born in September 2023.
In April 2024, Millie excitedly told fans Harley had asked her to marry him during a trip to Disneyland in Florida.
In July, mum Sue let slip that Millie and Harley will be tying the knot before the end of the year, and even shared a snap of the bride-to-be looking at potential wedding dresses.
Sue is believed to be around 5ft tall, and previously admitted she sometimes shops in the kids’ section at stores like Primark in a bid to find outfits that fit her petite frame.
Millie and Harley got engaged earlier this year, when the dad of two of her three children popped the question at Disneyland.
The moment was special for Millie on more than one occasion, as she revealed Harley dropped the ring as he was overcome with nerves.
A DAD-OF-TWO has suddenly died while on a dream cruise holiday with his family.
Edward Langley was visiting Vanuatu, in Oceania, when he “unexpectedly fell on the footpath”, his grieving family said.
A fundraiser has since been created for the late Aussie dad, and claims the fall could have been from a heart attack or stroke.
But the official cause of death is still unknown.

HEZBOLLAH and Israel are just hours away from a ceasefire, reports claim, amid fears an “all-out war” could turn southern Lebanon into a “death zone”.
A full-scale war in the Middle East seemed all but inevitable last night as Israel’s army chief told his forces to gear up to invade.
But Western allies are now scrambling to broker a temporary ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel – branding the escalation of violence “intolerable”.
Hundreds of people have this week been killed and half a million forced to flee their homes as Israel has pummeled areas of southern Lebanon used by Hezbollah with airstrikes.
Thousands of Brits remain in the country and the military is preparing to evacuate them if Israel does strike.
A pause on hostilities could begin in just “hours”, the Telegraph reported.
Western leaders have been trying to stop the fighting for weeks, with US President Joe Biden saying he fears it would lead to “all-out war”.
One expert told The Sun Israel could turn southern Lebanon into a “death zone” as it tried to push Hezbollah back from the border.
The UK today joined the US, France and a host of allies to call for an immediate temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
The 12-strong bloc has called for a 21-day ceasefire “to provide space for diplomacy towards the conclusion of a diplomatic settlement”, as well as a ceasefire in Gaza.
A statement said: “The situation between Lebanon and Israel since October 8th, 2023 is intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation. This is in nobody’s interest, neither of the people of Israel nor of the people of Lebanon.
“It is time to conclude a diplomatic settlement that enables civilians on both sides of the border to return to their homes in safety.
“Diplomacy however cannot succeed amid an escalation of this conflict.”
The statement calls for the governments of Lebanon and Israel to “endorse the temporary ceasefire immediately… and to give a real chance to a diplomatic settlement”.
Latest government estimates are that there are between 4-6,000 Brits and dependants still in Lebanon.
Sir Keir Starmer last night has paved the way for troops to launch an evacuation mission if commercial flights stop.
At the United Nations yesterday he called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
Pressed last night on the escalating conflict, the PM said: “I’m not going to get into the details of evacuation plans.
“As you would expect, we put contingency measures in place. But here in New York, in the UN General Assembly, I’m being very, very clear this is a dangerous situation now and all parties need to pull back from the brink, to de-escalate.
“We need a ceasefire and this needs to be sorted out by diplomatic means. Very, very clear messaging on that, very firm messaging on that along with key allies.
“But I am very concerned about the increasing escalation which is not just day on day, but almost hour on hour at the moment.”
On Monday, Lebanon suffered its deadly day in a generation after almost 500 people were killed in airstrikes.
Israel has vowed to do “whatever is necessary” to eliminate Hezbollah from its northern border – sparking some of the heaviest cross-border exchanges of fire since hostilities flared last October.
Since Hamas’ shocking attack almost a year ago on October 7, Iran-backed Hezbollah has been firing at Israel in solidarity with the terror proxy.
Tensions have spiralled in recent weeks – stoking fears the Middle East could be on the brink of an all-out war.
Hezbollah has been regularly firing dozens of missiles across the border at Israel after hiding many of them in civilian’s homes.
The decision to prepare its troops reportedly came just hours after a Hezbollah-fired missile reached central Israel for the first time.
Hezbollah said it had targeted Israel’s Mossad spy agency on the outskirts of Tel Aviv in the farthest attack inside Israel to date.
The White House labelled the reports of the rocket attack as “deeply concerning”.
The IDF claims to have then quickly blown up the launcher the rocket was sent from – releasing black-and-white airstrike footage of the swift retaliation.
The spike in fighting follows the coordinated pager and walkie-talkie blitz last week with Israel sabotaging communications devices.
The attacks were aimed at Hezbollah and hit the terror group’s fighters and civilians in Lebanon and Syria.
The strikes, which hit Tuesday and Wednesday last week, killed at least 39 and left thousands more injured.
Doctors in Lebanon have been overwhelmed by casualties after two waves of blasts – with many left blinded.
Skilled physicians say they have never had to surgically remove more eyes before as Hezbollah’s boss labelled the strikes a possible “declaration of war” from Israel.
One of those injured was the Iranian envoy to the country who has reportedly lost an eye.
Hezbollah’s boss Hassan Nasrallah said the group intends to seek revenge for the attacks that “crossed over all the red lines” and will not stop until the war in Gaza ends.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said he “condemned the terrorist act of the Zionist regime… as an example of mass murder”.
Israel reportedly planted the explosives inside the pagers in a years’ long operation that involved firms in Taiwan and Hungary.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has ordered all members to stop using any types of communication devices, Reuters reports.
