The atmosphere turned a touch manic on Thursday's episode of This Morning. Following an ad break, host Cat Deeley was captured beaming at the camera as she quipped: "I love this mayhem!". She was responding to the somewhat crowded scene, which stemmed from an ensemble of 18 guests cramming onto the sofa, ready to chat about their appearances on Channel 5's, 22 Kids and Counting.
But not everyone seemed thrilled by the broadcast limelight as little Ronnie, Sue and Noel's grandson and the youngest of the family, made his displeasure heard with cries during the live show. As the interview kicked into gear, Katie was seen comforting her crying infant. Despite her efforts, the baby struggled to calm down, prompting an ITV staff member to step in.
During the fray as Cat attempted to delve into Sue's everyday family chaos, one brave production team member whisked away the bawling tot offscreen to soothe his tears, reports the Manchester Evening News. Ben Shephard addressed the viewers amidst the commotion, announcing: "We're just passing Ronnie out so he can have a little bit of a walk around the studio. Vicks is taking control! You're in charge now, Vicks.".
Laughter erupted among the family as they watched the crew come to the rescue, while Cat encouraged: "Come on Vicks you can do it!". Nonetheless, Ronnie's cries persisted off-camera as Ben and Cat carried on their chat with the Radfords. Intrigued by their holiday celebrations, Ben probed what Christmas looks like for such a large brood.
