Noel and Sue Radford share surprising bucket list after ruined trip to Florida

The parents of Britain's biggest family have shared their surprising bucket list after their holiday to Florida this year was ruined.

Sue and Noel Radford took to social media to discuss their travel plans and hopes for future adventures after going on 16 holidays in 16 months.

The couple and their huge brood have risen to fame over the years starring on Channel 5's 22 Kids and Counting, with their children spanning three generations and ranging from three to mid-thirties.

The couple from Morecambe, Lancashire, often give fans an inside look into their bustling home on their dedicated YouTube channel and recently answered a variety of questions from followers.

Discussing their love of holidays and travelling Sue, 48, and Noel, 52, revealed to viewers where is left on their bucket list of places to visit.

The globe-trotting family love to escape and in 2022 alone went on 11 holidays, including New York City, Disneyland Paris, and the Maldives.

Neil, who owns his own bakery, revealed his adventurous side, saying: "Yeah, I think... well I've got two."

Admitting he would love to climb Mount Everest and make his way to Everest base camp, he then added another trip that would require a lot of training.

"And another I'd love to go to... I can't say it... Machu Picchu, however, you say it.

"That place, I think it's in Peru," he said correctly.

However, stay-at-home-mum Sue had something a little more relaxing in mind.

She said: "I would love to go to Bora Bora, I think that's definitely on my bucket list.

"But besides that, not really..."

Earlier this year the couple whisked the majority of their family away for a luxury holiday in Florida but were disappointed when it ended up being a complete wash out.

Nicknamed the 'Sunshine State' it proved to be anything but for the group as Sue shared a video of the gang looking bedraggled as they dealt with a torrential downpour.

Posting a video of one of her daughters, Ellie, pushing a buggy with soaking wet hair, she said: "Oh my God. Look at this!"

Sue later shared a clip of the family in a people carrier, who despite being drenched, were all smiling. The mum-of-22 captioned the clip: "Don't you just love Florida rain storms. Mila absolutely loved it. She was dripping wet [laughing emojis]."

The week before the downpour family had a run-in with an alligator, who got dangerously close to their villa in the states.

The Radfords posted a video on their Instagram account of the enormous reptile with the caption: "This gator has literally just been right outside our villa," followed by a string of alligator emojis.

Thankfully the reptile went back into the water, but there is plenty of footage of the creature on the prowl.

The unwelcome visitor came as Noel and Sue were accused of making money out of their grandkids by daughter Millie, 22.

Her accusation came after the couple failed to take all of their grandkids on holiday to Florida.

Noel and Sue posted a video, showing them surprising their family with a break in the sunshine.

However, Millie was fuming, taking a screenshot of the clip and posted it to her Instagram, alongside the caption: "Cute? But you've made money from all your grandchildren but choose your favourites. Said my piece."

Noel and Sue's kids include – Chris, 33, Sophie, 29, Chloe, 27, Jack, 25, Daniel, 24, Luke, 22, Millie, 21, Katie, 19, James, 17, Ellie, 18, Aimee, 17, Josh, 15, Max, 14, Tillie, 12, Oscar, 11, Casper, 10, Hallie, eight, Phoebe, six, Archie, five, Bonnie, four, and Heidie, three. While the couple’s 17th child Alfie was tragically still born on July 6, 2014.
