The Radford family is made up of a staggering 22 children, which obviously doesn't come cheap, particularly in the midst of an ongoing cost of living crisis - it's almost unimaginable how much tougher it is with all those extra mouths to feed!
Britain's biggest family spend an eye-watering amount on their whopping weekly food bill, consuming 56 sausages, 16 pints of milk and four loaves of bread a day.
Mum Sue, 48, admits work around the house is "never-ending" and the parents have joked that the kids "eat them out of house and home".
This extraordinary family always finds a way and manages to provide for the kids with their bakery business no matter what. But how exactly how do they afford to feed all those hungry mouths?
The Radfords are very self-sufficient as they live on income from Noel's family bakery business The Radford Pie company, which according to reports in The Mirror, is located near their family home in Lancashire, serving fresh fish and healthy pies to customers across the UK.
On their website, they state: "We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family as well as for the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.
"We have set up our online pie shop so we can share our very popular pies with you all. We're a real family business with both myself and Sue working at the helm along with some of our children to help us."
Noel is the family breadwinner, having been a baker for 25 years and working in several bakeries, climbing his way up the ranks from a trainee to a manager, now turned owner.
It's certainly a family affair, as Sue oversees all the orders coming in when she doesn't have her hands full with the kids and is the "chief taste tester," with daughter Chloe in the next generation of artisan pie maker, having helped in the bakery for five years, while son Daniel also helps prepare the deliveries.
Their company did expand to cater for online orders made from around the UK, but they were devastatingly hit by the Covid pandemic, forcing the bakery to temporarily close as Noel contracted coronavirus so they lost revenue during that time.
Earlier this year, Noel told viewers of their Channel 5 show that he had baked his last loaf and was 'retiring' to spend more time with the kids.
"No more getting up early. Hang up my gloves, time to move on," Noel told his wife, before putting kids Chloe and Luke up against each other to see who would take over.
However, Noel struggled to help Sue around the house and decided he found retirement too boring, begging his kids to give him his job back.
Noel told his wife: "I'm not past my best-by date yet, I think I'm going back."
When he asked to be let back into the bakery, Chloe replied: "You're only an employee now."
Sue and Noel rely on their own bakery business to fund themselves, so they do not claim any benefits apart from Child Benefits and their only other source of income they get is through brand partnerships on social media.
"Absolutely not, we're definitely not secret millionaires," Sue said when asked if the family were rich on a YouTube video.
She added: "To me rich would be having the big mansion, the flash cars and quite a few hundred thousand in the bank, to me that would be rich but we are not that."
It's a tight squeeze for the Radfords as they live in a 10-bedroom house which they bought for £240,000 in 2004.
There was a suggestion that they could leave the three-storey building, which was converted from a former care home, but now they have big renovation ideas.
"I think a while back I did really want to move house, before we did the house up. But since doing the house up were not moving and actually we've got plans for the house, quite big plans," said Sue.
"We will be sharing them with you once the architect does his thing."
If the family ever did up sticks, they would go somewhere with some tranquillity or some sun.
Noe added: "I think if we were to move house what we would really love to do is move abroad or move to the lakes."
Some of the older kids have moved out of the family home, but some are still living there as adults and before you speculate it, they don't get a completely free ride as the eldest children pay a small amount of rent to their parents.
"Us older ones do pay a little bit of board, granted it's not a lot but I am trying to save up for my own house at the moment," explained Chloe.
Sue added: "We've always said if you want to buy somewhere, rent is dead money so we would rather you saved that money up and stayed at home for a bit longer.
"But me and Noel believe they should pay board, if they are earning we've always been brought up to pay board."
