UK's largest family The Radfords show off giant chocolate tower of Easter eggs

The UK's largest family The Radfords revealed their huge Easter egg haul with a giant chocolate tower for their 22 children.

Parents Sue and Noel made sure the Easter weekend was full of sweet treats for their children still at home - Chloe, 25, Jack, 23, Daniel, 21, Luke, 20, Millie, 19, Katie, 18, James, 17, Ellie, 15, Aimee, 14, Josh, 13, Max, 12, Tillie, 10, Oscar, nine, Casper, eight, Hallie, five, Phoebe, four, Archie, three, Bonnie, two, and baby Heidie.

In an adorable post on the Radford Family's Instagram, Heidie was pictured in a mini ball pit, accompanied by the caption: "Our baby girl is one. Happy happy birthday Heidie you little Ray of sunshine."

Another post then saw the one-year-old on a mini scooter, in front of the backdrop of a huge balloon arch and a giant 'one' sign. The caption read: "Too much cuteness little miss Heidie Rose."

It's fair to say that with 24 family members, any celebration in the Radford household is a big one.

And this Easter was doubly special for the family, as they celebrated the first birthday of their youngest child, Heidie.

In an adorable post on the Radford Family's Instagram, Heidie was pictured in a mini ball pit, accompanied by the caption: "Our baby girl is one. Happy happy birthday Heidie you little Ray of sunshine."

The 24 eggs were stacked across five rows, with two white eggs at the top personalised with Heidie's and Ophelia's names.

Revealing the impressive structure, the family wished fans a Happy Easter, saying: "Happy Easter. We hope you have a lovely day."

This was then followed by an adorable image showing youngsters Heidie's and Ophelia's dressed in sweet yellow Easter dresses sat next to two large chick teddies.

The caption read: "Absolutely love this picture of Heidie and Ophelia that I must say was extremely difficult to take."

The family also took part in an Easter egg hunt around their garden, before sitting down to a tasty meal.

In a new YouTube video showcasing their Easter Weekend, dad Noel said: "Well that's it for today's vlog folks, hope you enjoyed watching it. Some of the kids are asleep, some aren't. Sue's just gone up to bed.

"Like I say, some of the kids are still up because I think they're still high on sugar to be honest, they've eaten that much chocolate.

"I've got to say we've had a really good weekend I think this weekend. We've had Heidie's first birthday the other day and then Easter today.

"It's just been really nice spending some time at home rather than being at work all the time. It's just been really nice to be at home with the kids and Sue and chilling out for a few days. It's going to be back to the grindstone next week."

It comes just weeks after the family gave fans a glimpse into their lives, starring in Channel 5's 22 Kids and Counting on Monday night - a TV series documenting the life of the Radfords.

Letting the cameras into their 10-bedroom former care home in Morecambe, which parents Sue and Noel purchased for £240,000 back in 2004, fans were finally able to see what it's like inside the lively household.
