BRITAIN’S biggest family didn’t have the best Christmas this year as illness swept through their household.
Speaking on their YouTube channel, mum-of-22 Sue Radford said a number of the kids had been left in bed feeling sick.
She told fans: “I must admit, we’ve not had such a great time for Christmas.
“Poor Oscar on Christmas Eve was throwing up all day, and I mean all day, bless him he was so so poorly.
“Amy had it the day before Christmas Eve so it seems to have gone through the house.
“Katie’s had it all day today, she’s been in bed all day.
“Last night I started to feel really sick thinking I was going to be up during the night being sick but I wasn’t.
“When I woke up this morning I felt absolutely horrendous. I got through the day and I must admit I am feeling a bit better now thank goodness.”
Despite the illness, Sue said the family had enjoyed the festive season.
She added: “We’ve still had a lovely day. The kids have enjoyed playing with their new toys.”
Sue and Noel are parents to 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.
Sadly the couple’s 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.
The family famously doesn’t rely on benefits and is supported by their pie shop business.
This follows the family doing a magical Christmas trip to Lapland with husky rides and Santa visits.
The family previously opened up about their epic Christmas traditions – with a £7,000 spend and 70 rolls of wrapping paper.
Their Christmas dinner includes 10kg of potatoes, 4kg of carrots, 60 Yorkshire puddings, 120 pigs in blankets and 2.5kg of Brussels sprouts – costing £400 before they add the meat.
The family will munch on a turkey, beef joint and a whole gammon on December 25 – cooked in their dual ovens.
But the food is far from the biggest expense, with Noel and Sue splashing out between £100 and £200 on each kid’s presents – buying a huge 300 gifts in total.
The Radfords, who live in a 10-bed former care home, often show off their millionaire lifestyle on Instagram.
This includes having an outdoor cinema, TV bed, and a £30,000 Range Rover car.
The family have recently opened their doors for Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting show, which documented their lives under one roof.
In the show, Sue revealed they have spent £1million raising their large brood and she has been pregnant for 16-and-a-half YEARS.
We previously shared how mum-of-22 Sue Radford lives a millionaire’s lifestyle with a £30k Range Rover, outdoor cinema & hot tub.
Last year, the Radford family got even LARGER as Sue and Noel announced a new grandson was on the way.
