Ruth Langsford was left red-faced after she asked Sue and Noel Radford an intimate question on Loose Women as they discussed the new series of 22 Kids and Counting

On Loose Women, Ruth Langsford triggered a wave of laughter when she unintentionally asked Sue and Noel Radford an intimate question about their personal time.

 

Ruth, joined by fellow panellists Christine Lampard, Janet Street-Porter, Gloria Hunniford and Brenda Edwards, talked to the couple known for their large family from the show 22 Kids and Counting. Ruth stumbled over her words while asking them if they ever had “alone time” away from their children and her remarks sent the studio into fits of laughter.

“What about you two? Do you ever get some time – well, we know you get alone time, with all of those children,” she joked. Trying to clarify her point, she added, “Do you ever just the two of you, you know, go out for lunch? Or a dinner?” Parent-of-22 Noel clarified that he and Sue make sure to set aside time for each other.

“We try to, we went out last week. It was only for an hour or two but it’s just nice to be together on our own,” he told the panel. Sue shared her parenting wisdom and said: “I think you have to make the time, don’t you? When you’ve got a lot of children and you’ve got a lot going on in your life. You’ve got to make time as a couple. You have to.”
