Noel Radford, famed for his appearance in 22 Kids and Counting, is alleged to have exceeded 40mph in his Porsche on the Bay Gateway, Morecambe. The 53 year old is scheduled to appear at Preston Magistrates' Court on Friday, May 31.

In addition to the speeding charge, Noel, a resident of South Road, Morecambe, is also accused of failing to provide information relating to the identity of the driver of the Porsche. He allegedly breached the 40mph speed limit on December 14, 2023, reports Lancashire Live.

The TV and star baker will appear before magistrates on Friday (May 31).

Noel and his wife Sue gained public attention in 2012 with their first series - 15 Kids and Counting. Their family has grown and have become well-known reality TV stars, showcasing life with their ever-growing family in Morecambe.

The on-screen family has been in the public eye since 2012 and their fourth series aired before Christmas.

Noel revealed in the couple's recently published new book The Radfords: Making Life Count they had bought three Porches in as many years.

They bought their first model not long after Sue's 46th birthday, but Noel said they ditched it to replace it with another one, reported The Sun.

"Then we got rid of that Porsche, because it was c**p," he wrote. "Then a bit later, in September 2023, we got another Porsche."

Noel and Sue have spoken about potentially having another child, with Noel admitting that he had “mixed feelings” about expanding their family again.

“It’s a nice feeling to think Heidie’s the last – we can get on, just enjoy our lives, happy with what we’ve got,” he said.

“You know with our 22 kids that’s it, move on, but then you get other feelings. You know that’s it, never gonna have that feeling again.”

A Christmas special of 22 Kids and Counting aired back in December, in which viewers were shocked to learn that the couple had spent £7,000 on presents for their children.
