Britain’s biggest family’s mega Christmas haul! Sue and Noel Radford splash out ‘more than £3,000’ on presents for their massive brood including an iPhone, Amazon tablets and a coffee machine

Britain’s ‘biggest family’ have revealed a glimpse into their Christmas morning – and the many presents received by the children, which cost upwards of £3,000.

Parents-of-22 Sue and Noel Radford from Morecambe, Lancashire, took to YouTube to show their followers what Christmas morning in their household is like.

In the words of Noel, it was ‘toys galore’, with the children ripping into their presents from seven in the morning.

Sue revealed in 2018 that she has a budget of between £100 and £200 for a main present for each of the children.

‘We save for it over the year, putting money away in an account. I do supermarket savings stamps for the food shop too,’ Sue previously told the Daily Mail.

Every year, they buy around 300 presents, which includes the ‘main gift’ and then ‘bits and bobs’ for each of their children.

However, this year, the parents appeared to have gone over budget, with one child receiving a £999 iPhone.

Elsewhere, three of the Radford children received an Amazon Fire tablet, each costing £199 while Sophie Rose, the second child of Noel and Sue, received a £400 Breville coffee machine.

The family – who are the stars of the Channel 5 show, 22 Kids and Counting – shared the footage as part of their ‘vlogmas’, which is where YouTubers upload clips of what they get up to each day throughout the whole of December.

Taking to Instagram the parents described the morning as ‘magical’, while adding that it was ‘nothing but presents’ on YouTube.

While the younger children found toys and baby dolls waiting for them under the tree, the older children received items including £140 UGG trainers, £110 Nike Jordan Dunks, and a £90 North Face sweatshirt.

The 40-minute video showed the family ripping into a minimum of £3338.96 worth of Christmas presents.

After opening their gifts, the children went on a walk around their hometown, with the children opting to take their new bikes and scooters.

The mother-of-22 begins wrapping her family’s gifts in September, three months before the big day, meaning she has to source them even earlier.

She has to ensure she has enough wrapping paper, as they usually get through around 50 to 70 rolls for all of their children.

Sue prides herself on being a fast wrapper, and said she can often have a stack of gifts done and dusted way before Noel.

The children write lists of what they want, but they don’t always get their dream items. 

However, due to their TV work and large following on social media sites, sometimes the Radfords are gifted once-in-a-lifetime experiences and presents from brands, in exchange for coverage. 

In the past, they’ve seemingly been given free tickets to the Universal Orlando theme park and have been treated to a new roof, a hot tub and an outdoor cinema room.

Meanwhile, the parents decided to put up their festive tree in November and wanted to surprise their children by transforming their house into a winter wonderland by the time they got home from school.

Sue and Noel appeared to go all out on decorations for their £975,000 home, with trees dressed head-to-toe in lights and baubles in almost every room.

‘They can decorate all their little trees [in their rooms]. I do really enjoy doing the Christmas tree in the living room, they will probably help do the one in the dining room,’ Sue said on a clip.

Their children also have special Christmas bedding that Sue and Noel use to help them get into the festive spirit.

Last year, Sue struggled with a ‘cracked a rib’ following a bout of ‘painful’ coughing and therefore began decorating later than she would have liked.

But this year, the mother-of-22 – who loves the holiday season so much that she refers to herself as ‘Mrs Claus’ – came back with a bang and gave herself the almost impossible task of setting the living room up in less than an hour.

‘Quick, we’re under pressure,’ she said to Noel, as they dug out the artificial green snow-frosted tree.

To the left of the tree lay an overcrowded shelf bursting with tinsel, lights and uncountable stockings, thought to be one for each member of the famous family.

Last year, the family had three Christmas trees – decorated with personalised baubles for the children – last year and stockings for every family member.

Sue and Noel also had some help from their grandchildren, Chester and Ophelia, who are Millie’s kids.

The 23-year-old recently tied the knot to Harley Passmore at the lavish Wennington Hall in Lancashire, where wedding packages start at £8,995. 

In another clip, Sue and Noel showed their reaction to the decorations, as many entered the room with massive grins on their faces.

The children started looking inside the stockings hoping to find candy canes and sweet treats.

Meanwhile, cooking dinner for more than 22 people every year is not an easy task and requires careful planning. 

Noel takes care of all the cooking while Sue is in charge of preparation.

Each year, she does the supermarket shop and picks up around 10kg of potatoes, 4kg of carrots, 60 Yorkshire puddings and 120 pigs in blankets. 

She previously told the Daily Mail that every one of her children enjoys Brussels sprouts, meaning that they purchase a whopping 2.5kg of them.

The Radfords also need three packets of Christmas crackers, as there are typically only 12 inside each box, and they have a rule that everyone on the table must read out their joke.  

Because many of them do not like traditional dried fruit and alcohol-soaked Christmas pudding, they opt for trifle and cake for dessert. 

The total bill comes to around £400 before they even set foot inside the butchers for meat, as they usually have around 30 guests join them every year.
