22 Kids and Counting star left stranded after travel mishap sees Millie Radford separated from daughter: ‘Disaster!’

Millie Radford faced a nightmare travel situation on Sunday after the 22 Kids and Counting star was “rejected” from joining a flight to America with her family.

The 23-year-old shared how one of her three children was able to board the plane with her mother, Sue Radford, while she and her two older kids were forced to remain at Gatwick Airport.

Despite being separated from daughter Elodie, Ophelia and Chester faced the same issue as their mother and weren’t allowed on the flight.

The incident was down their ESTAs being out of date, with the travel authorisation used by visitors traveling to the US without a Visa.

Radford shared a series of posts to her Instagram Story detailing the stressful situation.

The first showed her son Chester playing on the floor with a toy, alongside which she wrote: “So glad he doesn’t understand this disaster we are having,” followed by crying emojis.

In a second post, she penned: “Guys let this be your reminder to double check your ESTA because mine, Chester and Ophelia’s had [run] out and we [were] rejected being allowed on our flight today to America, and Harley and Elodie [were] able to get onto the flight.

“[Luckily] we have re-applied and they have all come back in time for us to fly tomorrow.

“My dad has stayed to help me thank god because we’ve had to travel hours to another airport from Gatwick.” (sic)

A final snap was a re-post from her mother Sue, 50, who could be seen holding a smiling Elodie.

The post read: “I’m fine mummy don’t worry I was such a [good] girl on the flight.”

Under the snap, Ran appreciative Radford had penned: “My little princess. Super nan.”

Millie, the seventh child of Britain’s biggest family, featured in several of the family’s updates and social media posts last year after marrying partner Harley Passmore.

The pair faced another crisis last month when Passmore was rushed to hospital ahead of Sue’s birthday celebrations.

Passmore later shared details of the ordeal on social media, revealing he was “glad to be back to normal” after the terrifying incident.

Passmore initially shared that doctors had diagnosed him with Bell’s palsy, a temporary condition causing sudden weakness on one side of the face.

Following medical advice, he took time to rest but his condition worsened on March 16.

“But yesterday my arm/leg went numb and weak on my left side so I had to be rushed to hospital,” Harley explained on social media.

Medical professionals became concerned as Bell’s palsy shouldn’t affect the body beyond the face.

“They said that bell palsy shouldn’t go to your body so they thought I had a mini stroke,” he wrote.

The situation prompted immediate hospital admission for further assessment.

Doctors kept Passmore in hospital overnight to conduct thorough testing, including an MRI scan.

The results brought relief as medical professionals confirmed he had not suffered a mini-stroke.

“They kept me in over night last night to do tests/MRI scan. So glad it wasn’t a stroke at such a young age,” Harley explained to his followers.

The 22-year-old expressed particular gratitude about not experiencing a stroke at his age.

It’s unclear whether Passmore had been travelling with the group on Sunday as he wasn’t mentioned in the posts.

The Radford family frequently travel abroad together, often to Disney World in Florida.

Their lavish trips often spark backlash from fans, with the family often taking to social media to point out they fund every holiday themselves.
