Britain's biggest family are gearing up for Christmas, with plenty mouths to feed in their large brood. Noel Radford takes on the role of chef, while Sue handles the prep.
As parents to 22 children, you can only but imagine their shopping list for the dinner. Sue takes on the groceries, which can include up to 10kg of potatoes, 4kg of carrots, 60 Yorkshire puddings, and a whopping 120 pigs in blankets.
Fans will recall the family, who recently enjoyed their 20th holiday of the year, participated in a special one-off festive episode last year. It was such a hit with viewers of their regular Channel 5 show that people have been asking them about a new one.
"So many messages and comments asking if we've done a christmas special this year so thought I'd just put this up," Sue wrote. She informed her 539,000 followers, "we haven't done one this year but I think ch5 have re-shown last years."
Their brood includes Chris, 34, Sophie, 29, Chloe, 28, Jack, 26, Daniel, 24, Luke, 22, Millie, 23, Katie, 20, James, 19, Ellie, 18, Aimee, 17, Josh, 16, Max, 14, Tillie, 13, Oscar, 11, Casper, 10, Hallie, eight, Phoebe, seven, Archie, six, Bonnie, four, and Heidie, three. They also mourn the loss of Alfie, who was stillborn in 2014.
The family reportedly spends around £450 weekly on groceries alone according to the Mirror, including 16 pints of milk and four loaves of bread daily. Sue, 48, admits that housework is "never-ending", while Noel, 53, works tirelessly at their family bakery.
Sue and Noel reportedly do not claim any benefits other than Child Benefit. According to sources, they have amassed a net worth of £975,000 but don't consider themselves wealthy.

"Absolutely not, we're definitely not secret millionaires," Sue remarked in a YouTube video when questioned about their wealth. She further explained: "To me rich would be having the big mansion, the flash cars and quite a few hundred thousand in the bank, to me that would be rich but we are not that."

The Radfords, who reside in a 10-bedroom house they purchased for £240,000 in 2004, are feeling the squeeze. Despite suggestions of leaving their three-storey home, formerly a care home, they now have grand renovation plans.
"I think a while back I did really want to move house, before we did the house up. But since doing the house up were not moving and actually we've got plans for the house, quite big plans," Sue revealed. She added: "We will be sharing them with you once the architect does his thing."
