22 Kids and Counting star Noel Radford ‘SKIPS’ court docket for vacation

Star of 22 Kids and Counting Noel Radford skipped court over speeding offences to go on his nineteenth family holiday of the year.

Mr Radford, 53, was due at Lancaster Magistrates’ court after pleading not guilty to charges of speeding and failing to provide information about the identity of the driver following an incident last year.

But on Monday the father of Britain’s largest family failed to appear, just hours after the family posted snaps on Instagram of them enjoying a holiday to Florida.

It is the family’s seventh holiday to the US in two years, and their nineteenth trip this year.

Mr Radford was charged in December after being accused of speeding in his Porsche along the Bay Gateway in Morecambe, Lancashire, on November 6.

The Radfords have also jetted off to exotic locations such as the Maldives and Dubai.

The clan also visited the Orlando resort in April this year, August and April 2023, as well as August and April 2022.
