WHILE the majority of her 22 children are still living at home some of Sue Radford’s kids have flown the nest.
And the mum of Britain’s biggest family has been left glowing with pride after her eldest daughter Sophie Broadley started a new business venture.
Sophie, 27, who lives with her husband Joe and their three children, has taken a leaf out of Mrs Hinch’s book, starting up her own cleaning company.
Time for Sparkle is based in Heysham, Lancashire, around the corner from the Radford’s family home in Morecambe.
The mum-of-three’s company offers services to offices, shops, homes and holiday homes, stating, “A clean environment is a happy environment so we make sure everything is sparkling top to bottom.”
And when it came to launching the business, Sophie, who previously sold perfume for a living, kept in the family giving dad Noel’s bakery a deep clean over the weekend.

Sharing a snap of the gleaming new kitchen on Instagram, Sophie said: “Radford’s Pie Company had its weekly deep clean yesterday.
“All ready for a new very busy week ahead.”
Unsurprisingly, Sue was left proud as punch, sharing the results on her own story with the caption, “Such a fantastic job Sophie.”
Sophie, moved out back in 2013 to live with her husband Joe Broadley and their three children – Daisy, nine, Ayprill, seven and Leo, five.
When Sophie announced her third pregnancy with Leo back in 2015, she decided she wouldn’t follow in her parents footsteps and would stop there.
She told Fabulous: ““Mum always jokes that I’m not going to stop at three.
“She thinks I will have eight, but that’s definitely not going to happen.
“When we told her about baby number three she was delighted, she’s always happy when a new baby is coming along.”
Sue admitted to getting emotional just walking past Sophie’s empty room when she did move out.
“Sophie, Joe and little Daisy moved out of the Radford house today and I can’t bare to go past the bedroom without getting upset,” wrote Sue.
Sophie is the second of the Radford children.
