Mum-of-22 went on 11 holidays in 2022 from Maldives to US

Last year was a good one for the UK's largest family with Sue and Noel Radford, parents to 22, enjoying many adventures abroad, including trips to the US and Maldives. Sue documented her 11 holidays for her thousands of fans on social media.

The family - who live in a 10-bedroom home in Lancashire - returned to the small screen this year for their Channel Five show, which began back in 2012 as 15 Kids and Counting. Sue and Noel, who runs his own pie shop, spent the run-up to Christmas in Disneyland Paris with some their children.

It was just one of the many breaks that Sue has enjoyed this year which has included three trips to the USA, reports the Mirror. Sue and Noel Radford are 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.

Their first trip to the US came last Easter when they jetted to Florida while Sue was back in New York shopping for designer handbags in December. The couple marked their pearl anniversary with a holiday to the Maldives where they enjoyed some quality time together away from the kids.

She wrote on Instagram: "It's also our 30th wedding anniversary in just over 2 weeks. 30 YEARS. We're so close to booking a break away for 4 nights just the two of us but I'm so hesitant at leaving the kids. Should we just go for it. We'll book it on yes or no so GOOO."

Not every journey the family took was a huge expense though as they also got stuck into camping after buying a new camper van which they use for UK mini breaks. In a YouTube vlog, Sue revealed one of the reasons for the Paris trip was because "the kids aren't getting very much at all" on Christmas Day.

She said: "We decided to book this, because the kids are not getting very much at all present-wise this year. We decided to do the same as what we did last year with Lapland. We thought it's better to do a nice little Christmas trip away for them, making memories rather than getting present they probably won't even play with, don't even want."
