JUST months after parents-of-22 Sue and Noel Radford flew to Florida for Sue's £50,000 bumper 50th birthday trip - the family is back at Disney once more. The Morecambe-based brood has shared snaps from the popular holiday resort, including watching fireworks and enjoying giant slushies. 7 Britain's biggest family - the Radfords - are back in Florida after visiting in April Credit: Instagram 7 The family enjoyed watching the fireworks on Disney Boardwalk Credit: Instagram 7 Sue Radford splashed an estimated £52,000 on her 50th birthday trip to Orlando in April Credit: Instagram Sue, who is mum to Britain's biggest family, showed how her kids had been enjoying Disney's Boardwalk in Orlando and how they had visited a cake shop with some delicious treats. After walking away with some bites, they then caught some fireworks going off in the nearby theme park. The kids then seemed thrilled as they got super-sized slushy drinks to enjoy. This follows the Radfords having a More on the Radfords Despite telling The Daily Mirror they have been "feeling the pinch" financially, they said they planned to spare no expense on the holiday of a lifetime. Sue and Noel star in Channel 5's 22 Kids and Counting and also earn money from their business £26,000 flights Sue and her husband Sue, 50, and Noel, 54, are parents to Chris, 36, Sophie, 31, Chloe , 29, Jack, 28, Daniel, 26, Luke, 24, Millie, 23, Katie, 22, James, 21, Ellie, 20, Aimee, 19, Josh, 17, Max, 16, Tillie, 15, Oscar , 13, Casper, 12, Haillie, 10, Phoebe, 8, Archie, 7, Bonnie, 6, and Heidie, 5.

Millie Radford sparks concern of the family feud reigniting as she says she wants to go 'home' during Florida holiday It's not known if the whole family is back out for their second visit. £20k park tickets Based on the cost of a seven-day Disney visit, which would require each guest to hold a 7-Day Magic Ticket for entrance, Sue and Noel could have forked out £20,065 for each of their Florida trips this year. Luckily for Sue and Noel, children under the age of three go free. So some of the children on the trip won't cost a penny to get into the park. The tickets include access to the park and water parks with the eligibility to enter multiple parks per day. Holders will also have the 'memory maker' package which includes unlimited Disney photopass downloads - pictures taken by photographers around the park, on rides and in restaurants . 7 Sue shared how they visited an epic cake shop at Disney during this trip Credit: Instagram 7 The kids seemed thrilled at stocking up on some tasty treats Credit: Instagram £6k accommodation Sue and Noel have spoken about their approach to holiday accommodation previously, while appearing on the This Morning show - they revealed they usually opt for a villa to save costs and ensure the bunch can bunk close together.

Granted it's not a lot but I'm also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.' their daughter Sue added: "We've always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we'd rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer. 'I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We've always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.'

Viral trad wife Nara Smith pregnant with 4th child aged 23 – as trolls say ‘that's insane, as I'm sure the name will be'
NARA Smith has announced she's expecting her fourth child. The 23-year-old, who went viral as one of the first 'trad wives', took to Instagram to reveal that she and model husband Lucky Blue Smith will soon be growing their family again.

Lucky, who looked thrilled at the news of his wife's pregnancy, gave her a tight hug, before giving her stomach a tender kiss. "Baby no. 4 loading," she wrote over the "Our little surprise," she added in the caption. Advertisement Read more Pregnancy stories With the majority of people in the comments section offered their congratulations, others questioned what the baby would be called - considering the couple have chosen unique monikers for their other three children. Their first child, born in October 2020, is called Rumble Honey, while their current middle child, three, is called Slim Easy. Their youngest, who turned one in April, is named Whimsy Lou. Lucky is also dad to daughter Gravity, whose mother is model Stormi Bree. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous "4 kids by 23?

Channel 4 star horrifies fans as she reveals 'truly awful' baby names ahead of birth of second child "Omg congrats!!! Can we revisit Bubble for the name," a third commented. "Congratulations. I can't wait for the name announcement," someone else admitted. Advertisement Others harked back to an interview Nara and Lucky had given to GQ magazine back in 2024, when they said that despite originally wanting six children, they were "absolutely done" with three. "After Whimsy, we are absolutely done now," Nara told the publication. "Having toddlers is the best sort of birth control, because they're wild." While Lucky added: "We feel like we couldn't be as good of parents if we added in any more." Advertisement Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle? YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it's cracked up to be? Fabulous' Deputy Editor When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it. But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne. Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it. When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things - like Tracey and Stacey - which can be pretty annoying. Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year - there seems to be a few of us around my age - it's still a much rarer name than most of my friends have. On the whole I don't mind it, at least it's not rude or crazily spelt. And it means I can get away with 'doing a Cheryl' and just referring to myself as Josie. I'm getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I'm changing my surname, as it's not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I'm not that attached to Griffiths as I'd always just say 'hi it's Josie' when ringing a mate up. I think it's nice to be unique and I'll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids. It's the rude names you've got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I'll definitely be avoiding those. "Is no one gonna talk about how she was done after 3 kids and is popping out another one AGAIN?" one person wrote in the comments. "I'm almost certain you said you didn't want anymore… hmm. Well congrats anyways!" another added. "Didn't she say she's done with 3 kids?" a third questioned. "Loving this for you honey but it makes me laugh how last year you were dead set on 3 babies!" someone else said.
