22 Kids and Counting’s Harley Passmore in worrying ordeal as he’s rushed to hospital days before Sue Radford’s milestone birthday
The husband of Millie Radford, from Britain’s largest family who star in 22 Kids and Counting, experienced a frightening health scare earlier this month when doctors suspected he had suffered a mini-stroke.
Harley Passmore, 22, was rushed to hospital after experiencing numbness in his body, causing concern among the family.
The health emergency occurred just days before his mother-in-law Sue Radford’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Passmore, who married into the family last year, 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.
The health scare caused significant concern throughout the Radford family, known to many as Britain’s largest family.
Despite the frightening experience, Passmore recovered quickly enough to join family celebrations just days later.
Passmore and Millie tied the knot in November last year during a lavish ceremony at Wennington Hall near their family home in Morecambe, Lancashire.
The wedding planning wasn’t without challenges, with several hiccups documented in a double episode of Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting.
Despite the difficulties, the couple celebrated their special day surrounded by loved ones, including Millie’s extensive family.
Millie has three children: Ophelia Jo, Chester Bleu and Elodie Jade. Two of the children are shared with Harley.
The couple live together in Morecambe, Lancashire, where much of the Radford family is based.
