Mum-of-22 Sue Radford shows off son James’ disastrous home haircut after he lets sister Katie ‘trim it’ with clippers
MUM-of-22 Sue Radford was horrified when her daughter Katie gave her brother, James, a home haircut - with the lad being compared to a character from Dumb and Dumber.
Despite hairdressers re-opening, it seems James didn’t want to wait for an appointment so he roped in one of his 21 siblings to help give him a trim.

Mum Sue, 45, and dad Noel, 48, are Britain's biggest family with 22 children, with Sue welcoming her latest child, Heidie, in April.
The family all live in a single house in Morecambe, Lancs, with the exception of the Radford’s eldest children.
The kitchen was turned into a hairdressers, with Sue filming the DIY cut and sharing it on the family’s .
She says: “We’re just getting ready to cut James’ hair, Katie has got a bottle she’s going to put some water in it.”

The lad had a very shaggy do, with his fringe well past his eyes, as he tells his sister “just trim it”.
But a giggling Katie reminds him she’s “not a professional”.
Unable to contain herself, Sue says “oh my word this is going to be funny”, as she gets a “front row seat” to Katie’s barbershop, aka the kitchen.
And despite being a mum to 22 kids, it seems Sue was more than happy to let Katie take over being a hairdresser, saying: “James are you nervous? I would be nervous. I’m glad I’m not doing it.”

With Katie laughing and seemingly unsure of what she’s doing, Sue suggests James try and book a slot with a professional.
She tells him: “James did you make sure you could get an appointment at the hairdressers if it goes drastically wrong.”
He initially asks her to use a number four on the clippers, but then says a number six or seven will do.

As Katie begins to chop away Sue says that he’d be able to get an appointment immediately after seeing how the cut is progressing.
She tells her son: “James I think you should sack it off and go to the hairdressers.
“You could go in like that and it’d be fine, they’d know you’ve been trying to cut it, but failed miserably.

"James it looks a mess.”
James reckons it’s “not too bad” mid-way through, despite Katie forgetting to turn the clippers on at one point.
It’s all going well until Katie tackles the fringe, leaving the rest of the Radfords' in shock.
Katie admits “I did the fringe a bit weird,” as James says: “It looks really bad”.

Noel bursts out laughing when he sees James’ new do, saying: “He looks like Dumb and Dumber.”
The Radfords are Britain's biggest family, with Noel and Sue parents to Chris, 30, Sophie, 26, Chloe, 24, Jack, 22, Daniel, 20, Luke, 19, Millie, 18, Katie, 17, James, 16, Ellie, 14, Aimee, 13, Josh, 12, Max, 11, Tillie, nine, Oscar, eight, Casper, seven, Hallie, four, Phoebe, three, Archie, two, Bonnie, one and Heidie, who was born in April.
Sadly, the couple's 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.

They also have three grandchildren - who are Sophie's kids - Daisy, six, Ayprill, four, and Leo, two.
The parents famously don’t claim benefits and rely on Noel’s bakery business to make ends meet.
