The Radford family have transformed their garden into a kids play park in just 48 hours

Britain's biggest family, the Radfords, have transformed their scruffy garden into a kids play park - and it took just two days.

The family, who live in Morecambe, Lancashire, revealed how they turned the tired-looking plot into a playground, complete with mini water park and mud kitchen, in their latest vlog.

The ambitious project took just 48 hours as the whole family got stuck in while enjoying the sunshine, the Mirror reports.

Mum Sue Radford, who recently gave birth to her 22nd child Heidie Rose, shared pictures of the makeover in progress and said it had been 'fun and games'.

Pictures showed a mountain of rubble as dad Noel and the gang got to work on levelling out the ground.

Even two-year-old Archie mucked in armed with a broom and drill while his dad supervised.

Revealing the finished result on Tuesday, they showed a dinosaur water feature with a paddling pool for cooling off, a swing set, slide and climbing frame as well as a mud kitchen.

The garden also features personalised teepees for relaxing in as well as a large seating area for the whole family.

The couple, who run a pie company, have lived in the Victorian property, a former care home, with their young children for more than 15 years.

They first found fame in 2012 with the Channel 4 documentary 15 Kids and Counting.

A number of their children have already flown the nest and are married and have children of their own.

Sue said people have given the family 'death stares' when they are out and about in public during the coronavirus lockdown, mistakenly thinking they are not all from the same household.

“It is funny really," she said. “People who don’t know we are a family think we are breaking the law by having a social gathering.

“We are getting death stares from people. They think we are having a kids’ birthday party or something.

“It looks like a small parade. I understand why people might give us looks, but there is nothing we can do."
