The Radford Family has inspired their fans by travelling to Universal Studios resort in Florida with a large number of their children.
Sue and Noel Radford are famously the heads of Britain’s biggest family as they are proud parents of 22 children ranging in age from several months up to the 30s. The duo, who appear along with their brood on the Channel 5 reality show 22 Kids and Counting, have been married since September 1992.
Sue, 49, and Noel, 53, welcomed their eldest child Chris, 32, in 1989, and the family live in Morecambe, Lancashire. But for the summer of 2024, the couple jetted off to America with a number of thier children and have been updating fans from their trip.
Snaps showed the couple and their children at Universal Studios – which the MailOnline claims the family were granted access to “for free”. Uploading photos from the trip to Instagram, Sue wrote: “We had such a brilliant day @universalorlando last week we absolutely love this place so much, we even got on Hagrid which is hands down the best ride ever.”

Snaps showed the family enjoying rides, snacking on ice creams, watching performers and floats, and posing for snaps inside the impressive theme park grounds – while other snaps showed them enjoying a similar day of fun at Disney World, Florida. Fans were astonished to see the family enjoying their holiday – with many questioning how the hard working parents afford such trips with so many kids.
One fan wrote in response to the collection of snaps: “How do they afford it? I’ve got a frigging child and the thought of going there is a dream.” And another typed: “I wish I could afford to do that for my son,” followed by the crying emoji.
As fans of Sue, Noel and their family will know, they ran a successful bakery for years and managed to pay for all the needs of their family without turning to benefits. Hitting out at cruel trolls who judged their jet-set lifestyle previously, the protective parents wrote in their memoir, The Radfords: Making Life Count, “We don’t claim benefits, the pie company is very successful and so is our media business. We work hard but we’re not millionaires. The nastiness is upsetting though. We just want to be able to give our children the best possible life.”
In their book, the couple also admitted that caring for such a large family – which now includes various grandchildren – could mean they struggled to find time to talk to each other. Sue confessed: “I am sure there must be couples who are able to ring each other up during the day to discuss various things about their kids, Noel and I don’t really speak when he’s at work and I’m at home- because we never have the time.”
Sue and Noel are proud parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 12, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one. Last year, Sue and Noel addressed whether or not they would have more children – after already welcoming their 22nd.
