Mum-of-22 Sue Radford reveals ‘emergency’ measures are taken as hot weather strikes their ‘millionaire mansion’
MUM-of-22 Sue Radford revealed the “emergency” measures she took as the hot weather struck their huge Morecambe mansion.
The busy mum said her daughter Katie was tasked with buying some fans for the family to deal with the heat.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “Will I have another night like last night, NO NO I will not.
“@katieeradfordd was on emergency buy some fans tonight.”
She showed the large fan perched on her nightstand to tackle the hot weather at night.
Sue and Noel are parents to 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.
Sadly the couple’s 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.
Sue, 48, and Noel, 52, got hitched when Sue was 17 and say their marriage has never had any serious difficulties, despite the constant stream of children.
Noel underwent a vasectomy during the ninth pregnancy but then had it reversed.
The couple have claimed Heidie is their last baby, after Sue has spent around 6,000 days of her life pregnant.
The family famously doesn’t rely on benefits and is supported by their pie shop business.
The Radfords, who live in a 10-bed former care home, often show off their millionaire lifestyle on Instagram.
The mum of Britain’s biggest family and husband Noel are currently on the hunt for a plot of land to build their dream home on.
“We’re looking to move about half-an-hour away from where we live in Morecambe,” Sue told Fabulous.
“We want to find some land to build on, we’re looking for at least two acres so we can keep farm animals too.”
Sue admits they have been ‘umming and ahhing’ over one piece of farmland but are yet to make a purchase.
The news of the move came as a surprise to some fans who have been following the renovations on the Radford’s current home.
But Sue says that they won’t be going to waste as they have no plans to sell.
“I don’t think we will sell our current house,” Sue says.
“We’ll keep it as an investment but we need somewhere with more outdoor space and privacy for the children.”
The mum, who insists she won’t be having any more children, says that while they love their ‘brilliant’ Morecambe home, intrusion from fans has forced them to move.
She explains: “When you’re in the public eye, people do know where you live and we get people popping outside the house and taking pictures.
“It got to the point where we needed to move somewhere that’s a lot more private.”
It is safe to say that building a second house doesn’t come cheap, and neither does renovating one as the Radford fans are all too aware of.
In November, Sue was forced to defend her spending after she was accused of flaunting her “disgusting” wealth on social media.
But the mum says that the money spent was completely justified.
She explains: “We had a lot of people complaining about the money that was spent on the house but we haven’t done the house up for a lot of years and it just got to the point where it needed it.”
