The Radford family faced an anxious wait as 16-year-old Max prepares for a milestone in the upcoming episode of the Channel 5 show
The Radfords face an “unbearable” wait as Max prepares to receive his GCSE results in the upcoming episode of TV favourite 22 Kids and Counting. Mum and dad Noel and Sue share their lives and the lives of their 22 children in the hit Channel 5 show, and the instalment set to air on Sunday (March 1) will document a huge milestone as 16-year-old son Max waits to see if he has passed his exams.
A teaser clip has been posted on Instagram showed the family’s anxious wait. With no idea how it is going to go, the Radfords prepare for a possible celebration, reports the Mirror.
Noel admits: “Maths and science, I think he’ll do OK, it’s just the English. If I’m honest, I’m not convinced he’s going to pass his English. He did put some effort in towards the end, but he’s had a lot of struggles along the way. The odds are properly stacked against him.”
Max is said to be “on tenterhooks” as he waits to hear how he’s done. “You always want the best for your kids, but sometimes some things really tie you in knots,” said Sue.
“And the thing is, if Max doesn’t get his English resƒult that he needs, I don’t know what he’s going to do,” said Noel. “This is unbearable,” Sue added, as Noel agreed: “I don’t know who it’s worse for, Max or us.”
Max is then seen announcing that he has received the email containing his results. He then goes off to read his message privately before sharing the news with his parents and siblings.
As time passes and Max still fails to appear, they start to look worried and Sue grows concerned that it’s “not looking good.” The family even discuss whether they ought to take the decorations down.
Noel says: “If he hasn’t, I think we all need to be there for him. I think there’s a bit of support, because it obviously means a lot.”
However, the teenager then strides into the room and announces: “I passed!” He reveals that he achieved impressive marks, with particularly strong results in science and maths.
“As parents, we are extremely proud of Max,” said mum Sue, who declared it was “absolutely amazing” news. “Now it’s the sky’s the limit,” agreed dad Noel.
22 Kids and Counting airs at 8pm on Channel 5 on Sunday, March 1
