Mum-of-22 Sue Radford shows off lavish £1k Valentine's Day gift

The fact that Noel and Sue Radford have been married for nearly three decades and have 22 children together is already a testament to the love they share.

But the devoted father and husband went out of his way to treat his wife on Valentine's Day with an expensive present.

The couple are famous for having the biggest family in Britain - with almost two dozen sons and daughters aged between one and 32.

With such a large brood, fans often wonder how the parents have any spare time after running around after their army of kids.

But sweetheart Noel, 51, managed to carve out some quality time to spend with Sue, 46 - and even lavished her with some extra special Valentine's gifts.

Taking to Instagram this week, Sue showed off her presents along with a caption stating: “Have THE most amazing hubby thank you so much @noelradford I love you.”

While photos showed that Noel had bought his wife the traditional bunch of flowers – but also a lavish designer coat.

The puffy, silver coloured number is from high-end French and Italian design house Moncler – and carries a retail price of £985.

After flashing her impressive gift, Sue went on to wish her followers a happy Valentine’s Day as couples celebrated the romantic annual holiday the world over on Monday.

The Sun reports that the romance didn’t end there for Sue and Noel, however, as the proud dad said he was “whisking Sue away for a fancy afternoon tea and a visit to the Lake District”.

While the pair left their brood – consisting of Chris, 32, Sophie, 28, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 13, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one – behind.

The proud parents have 22 children together and their family continues to grow and grow as their offspring start having kids of their own.

Their 20-year-old daughter Millie is currently expecting her second child after welcoming a daughter named Ophelia in September 2020.

The proud mum is now expecting a baby boy, and told followers on social media recently: “HAPPY DUE DATE little man. Ophelia is obsessed with her little brother already 11.02.2022.”

Second oldest daughter Chloe, 26 – who is also pregnant – congratulated her younger sister, writing: "We cannot wait to meet him. O is gonna be the best big sister."

Noel and Sue recently threw open the doors of their 10-bedroom ex-care home house where they live with their army of children.

Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting documented the family’s hectic lives – while mum Sue was shown making the astonishing confession she has spent £1million raising her children and she has been pregnant for 16-and-a-half years.
