UK's biggest family the Radfords show off sleepover set up for daughter's 16th birthday

Britain's biggest family organised a sweet sleepover and movie night for their daughter's birthday today.

The Radfords shared an Instagram post showing a big camping tent built to surprise Ellie, who turned 16 yesterday.

Inside the tent, there are small mattresses with pillows and blankets for some of the siblings to gather.

The family also arranged a garden picnic, with cupcakes, snacks and drinks.

One of the photos shows a big screen for the family to enjoy a movie night.

Posting the photo on social media, the Radfords wrote: "It was Ellie’s 16th birthday yesterday so today we surprised her with this.

Last week, mum-of-22 Sue Radford has surprised her family with a fun-filled trip to Center Parcs to celebrate the Bank Holiday weekend.

They shared a clip on their YouTube channel of the moment Sue, 46, and husband Noel, 50, revealed the news.

Before the Bank Holiday weekend the family's eldest son Chris, 31, announced his wife is pregnant with their third child.

He wrote on Instagram: "So that's baby number 3 cooking nicely another little boy."

Chloe Radford, 25, this week announced she is moving out of the family home to live with her boyfriend.

She posted a picture of herself and her partner enjoying a toast to their important milestone together saying: "Few drinks to celebrate LIVING together!!"

Chloe then tagged her partner and joked: "We might need something a bit stronger than a pint."

The Radfords, who fund their lives through Noel's pie shop, regularly update their fans on what they've been getting up to during lockdown.
