Mum of Britain's largest family The Radfords shares where she’s taking them on holiday

The mum of Britain's largest family has revealed where she is taking her brood on holiday.

Sue and Noel Radford let the details of their plans be known in an interview on video-sharing channel YouTube.

In an interview on her channel, she said it was a popular question among their followers.

Sue said: “Well this was a much-asked question - do we have any holidays booked or planned for this year?”

Noel replied: “We can’t really book anything, we have a lot of commitments this year and stuff we want to get on with.

“We definitely want to get one in October, so we are thinking Florida in October time.”

They said they haven’t booked anything yet, but Sue revealed they are “itching” to get back to the popular destination.

The giant family, she said love Florida and visited Discovery Cove and the Chocolate Emporium outside of Universal Studios which they adored.

She said: “We loved that day, it was amazing. We didn’t even do swimming with dolphins, we literally just swam with stingray, fish.

“We asked the kids what their favourite day from the whole of the Florida trip and everyone of them said Discovery Cove.”

When they go away as a family, savvy Sue uses labelled bin bags to pack her seven suitcases - so she doesn't get mixed up between the kids.

She previously said : "The packing process is hard work, but if I put each child’s clothes into a bin bag and label whose it is, it makes it a lot easier when we get there.

"Then I can get the bags out and put them away, rather than rooting through, trying to figure out whose is whose.
