Radford family share Sue’s birthday plans
Sue Radford has spilled the beans on her plans to ring in her 50th birthday alongside husband Noel and their 22 children.
The couple, famed for appearing on 22 Kids and Counting, discussed the upcoming celebrations for Sue's landmark birthday during a segment on ITV's This Morning on Thursday (9 January). Sue and Noel were joined by several of their kids as they sat down for a chat with hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard.
Cat chatted to Sue about her milestone birthday, which falls on 22 March. The presenter exclaimed: "Sue you're going to be 50! I mean, I shouldn't really mention a lady's age, but you look incredible!"
To which Sue responded: "The big 50! You're turning 50, you've got to make the most of it. You've got to go big haven't you."
Ben then turned the conversation towards Noel, asking him: "What's the plan, Noel? How are you going to make sure she feels very special?"
In response, dad-of-22 Noel unveiled their ideal celebration, saying: "Ideally, we'd love to just get away on our own, the two of us. But, we do want to do a big family holiday, with everybody."
Noel and Sue are parents to 22 kids; Chris, 35, Sophie, 31, Chloe, 29, Jack, 27, Daniel, 25, Luke, 24, Millie, 23, Katie, 22, James, 21, Ellie, 19, Aimee, 18, Josh, 17, Max, 16, Tillie, 14, Oscar, 13, Casper, 12, Hallie, nine, Phoebe, eight, Archie, seven, Bonnie, six, and Heidie, four. The pair are grandparents to 11 children too, reports Lancs Live.
Sue has spilled the beans on her plans to celebrate her 50th birthday with a magical Disney trip during the Easter break, accompanied by all of her 22 children and 11 grandchildren, plus partners of the adult kids tagging along.
In a chat with the Mirror, she excitedly disclosed: "We are going to do a big 50th holiday with all the kids and the grandkids to Disney. We will go in the Easter break. The kids all love it and the grandkids do too."
But Sue's festivities don't conclude there; she's intent on stretching out the celebrtations over the entire year.
She added: "Turning 50 is such a big deal. I remember when I was 40 and that was a big deal. I absolutely hated it! So [this time], I said: 'You know what, because I am turning 50, I am definitely having a whole year of celebrations! ' I think if you are going to turn 50, to soften the blow a little bit, it's got to be big...It will be nice to do a few things!"
This Morning airs on weekdays on ITV1 from 10am
