Mum of UK's biggest family shares details of luxury 30th anniversary holiday to Maldives

The mum of the UK's biggest family has shared details of her luxurious holiday with husband Noel to mark their 30th anniversary.

Sue Radford, 47, also revealed she had returned home 7lbs heavier and shared the reason behind her weight gain.

The mum-of-22, often shares details of her life on social media with her husband and their 22 children.

The married couple - who live in Morecambe - jetted off to the idyllic location in the Indian Ocean to mark their pearl anniversary.

The loved-up childhood sweethearts booked an exclusive five-night stay - away from their children, reports LancsLive.

However, the decision wasn't one they made lightly, as Sue went on to confess that they nearly 'backed out of going, twice'.

The pair really went all out for their trip and splashed out on flying business class to the archipelago, for the first part of their trip to Doha.

Then, they opted for the spacious Qsuite on Qatar Airways - taking advantage of the reclining chairs, private screens with remotes and Diptique gift box.

Due to a delay of an hour and 20 minutes at Manchester Airport, the couple missed their connecting flight.

They were forced to wait an extra three hours before catching the second one - where the lucky pair flew first class.

They then took a third flight, before taking a boat to get to their destination. And on their way, they documented seeing a dolphin appear directly in front of their boat.

Now back from their once-in-a-lifetime trip, Sue has taken to social media to share the reason she returned home weighing seven pounds more than she did when she left.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a video post showing a variety of food the couple indulged in during their trip - from start to finish.

The small clip included pictures of the airplane food, cocktails, copious amounts of pizza, pasta, soup, cooked breakfasts and omelettes, to fruit salads, croissants and a pina colada.

The 47-year-old captioned her post: "Couldn't not post these food pics as they are the reason I came home 7lb heavier."

And fans loved seeing every moment of the couple's trip together, with the tanned two posing for many photo opportunities together.

In response to the montage of meals Sue put together on her social media page, one person wrote: "I’m sure sue you will soon lose that 7lb with your busy life schedule!!!! Your holiday looked amazing."

Another wrote: "Wow!! The food looks amazing, you've been spoilt with the food. Need to see some sea pics!"

A third fan commented: "It wouldn't have been a good holiday if you didn't come home carrying some extra weight. Congrats on 30 years of marriage, you are a lovely family and I admire you."

And another replied: "Ahhh don’t stress 7lb lovely you’ll lose it in week running after the littlest Radfords again."

The Radfords, who live in a 10-bedroom former care home, don't rely on benefits and are financially supported by their pie shop business.
