Mum-of-22 Sue Radford has admitted ‘life can be hard’ as the family soak up the sun on their latest holiday.

The Radfords, who grew to fame on Channel 5 programme 22 Kids and Counting, have jetted off to their 18th holiday in nearly as many months.

As they enjoy their getaway to Florida, the family, whose eldest is 34 and youngest is three, have been sharing snaps on social media.

One recent post saw three of the younger children jumping into a pool, as Sue, 48, wrote: ‘Just loving watching them have fun sometimes life is hard but these moments are what we live for.’

Earlier that day, Sue and husband Noel, 52, shared snaps of their visit to Miami Zoo and updated fans with a new YouTube video documenting their journey from their Morecambe home to Florida.

Sue and Noel teased that more content from their trip would be turned into blogs as they confirmed it will not feature on the Channel 5 show.

The Radfords have been jet-setting and since December 2021 have visited Cornwall twice, the Lake District four times, Disney World three times, Scotland and even Lapland, sharing pics along the way.

They’ve also travelled to places including Legoland, Alton Towers, the Maldives, New York and France over the past 12 months.

While some of their children have kids of their own, it’s clear not all 22 make it out to each holiday, but the large brood seem to be enjoying themselves nonetheless.

This comes after Sue and Noel shot down claims a 23rd baby is on the way.

When asked if they planned on having more children, Sue said on a YouTube video: ‘Definitely not.’

‘No more babies,’ Noel agreed.

Sue explained: ‘Now that Heidi’s three and she’s out of nappies, and we’re probably going to be getting rid of the pram soon, it’s just so much easier than having a newborn.

‘When we were on holiday in April I was sitting on the sun lounger and just watching the kids playing in the pool and I just thought, if we had a baby you wouldn’t be able to do that.

‘I just thought, I do love not having… I mean, we’ve loved having our kids, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want that to come across that we’ve got bored of them or whatever, definitely not.

‘I just feel like for us, we’ve had our babies, children now and we’re just going to sit back, watch them grow older, and be grandparents and that.’

The couple are parents to Chris, 34, Sophie, 29, Chloe, 28, Jack, 26, Daniel, 24, Luke, 23, Millie, 22, Katie, 21, James, 20, Ellie, 18, Aimee, 17, Josh, 16, Max, 14, Tillie, 13, Oscar, 12, Casper, 11, Hallie, eight, Phoebe, seven, Archie, six, Bonnie, five, and Heidie, three. Their 17th child Alfie was stillborn on July 6, 2014.

22 Kids and Counting airs on Channel 5.
