Mum-of-21 Sue Radford gives kids' rooms Christmas makeover - and people love it

Sue Radford has been hailed as 'supermum' and left fans in awe after surprising her children with festive bedroom makeovers.

The mum - expecting baby number 22 - has completely revamped some of her brood's rooms in time for Christmas.

And when you are Britain's biggest family, that's something that is many months in the planning.

Sue, 44, and husband Noel, 48, are baby-making machines and with a little girl on the way next year, they show no signs of stopping.

The bedrooms look like a mini-grotto with cute festive bedding on all the beds and a tree which lights up the room.

Above the fireplace of their impressive 10-bedroom home sits 22 stockings ready to be filled and then demolished on December 25.

Sue's video also showed many of the children in their Christmas pyjamas as they open another door from their advent calendars.

On the family's YouTube channel, she said: "I've just been and got the girls' present out for them and now they've got their tree up.

"I thought I would decorate it for when they came home - we've even putting Santa bedding on."

The worn-out mum then said: "We're all Christmas-ed out! It's time to go and have a nice cup of coffee."

There were plenty of festive messages for them all, with one saying: "How fab, I bet Christmas is so much fun at yours!"

Another posted: "What a wonderful but hectic time you will have!" while another comment read: "Big family equals close, strong and amazing family."

Sue posted the pictures on Instagram with the caption: "It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!'"

The family's account boasts 161,000 followers and they keep everyone updated throughout the year.

While some may take advantage of the system, the family claim just £170 in child benefits a week.

All the children except from Chris and sister Sophie still live at home - but they will all be together over the next few days.

The Radfords first found fame in 2012 when their lives were the focus of a Channel 4 documentary called 15 Kids and Counting.

The clan are: Chris, 30, Sophie, 26, Chloe, 24, Jack, 23, Daniel, 21, Luke, 19, Millie, 18, Katie, 16, James, 15, Ellie, 13, Aimee, 13, Josh, 12, Max, 10, Tillie, eight, Oscar, seven, Casper, six, Hallie, four, Phoebe, three, and Archie, two, and Bonnie, one.

Baby Bonnie  was the last addition to the brood last November, keeping everyone on their toes.

She arrived after a swift 12-minute labour weighing 8lb 4oz - and the couple, who have been having children for three decades, vowed she would be their last and had completed their family.

They live with the majority of their kids in a 10-bed, four-storey Victorian property, which was a former care home, which they bought almost 15 years ago.
