Mum-of-22 Sue Radford tops off her family’s year of holidays in Disneyland Paris amid backlash over ‘staged’ TV show
THEY'VE had countless holidays in 2023.
And mum-of-22 Sue Radford decided to treat her bumper brood to one last trip to round out the year - this time to Disneyland Paris.
She also posed with youngest daughter Heidie on Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride, before sharing a video of the three-year-old giggling as the carpets moved up and down.
"No better sound than hearing your children's laughter," she wrote over the top of the clip.
The family then moved onto the Cars Road Trip attraction, where they sat on a train as they watched huge bursts of flames shoot up behind one of the lorries from the film.
Sue urged her kids to "hold on tight" as the train rocked from side to side, recreating the effect of a rock avalanche.
Despite it clearly being a jam-packed day for the family, Sue also managed to squeeze in a glass of bubbly - posting a picture of herself holding up the flute with the famous Disney castle in the background.
She also shared a picture of daughter Aimee sporting some fetching gold Minnie Mouse ears, before showing a snippet of the Disney parade and another show they saw while walking around the theme park.
The bumper family, who live in Lancashire, have been fortunate to do a number of fun-filled holidays in the last couple of years.
They’ve been to Cornwall twice, the Lake District four times, Disney World three times and also been to Lapland - all since December 2021.
They have also been to Scotland, Legoland, Alton Towers, New York, Edinburgh, Centre Parcs, France, and Sue and Noel have even jetted to the Maldives and Dubai.
And since they've had their motorhome, they've also enjoyed numerous trips away in the swanky vehicle.
Sue's new posts on the family's Instagram page are the first since they signed off for Christmas.
Sharing a picture of the family's stockings all lined up on the fireplace, Sue wrote: "Now that the kids have broken up from school and we’ve done our last filming day until next year, we would like to wish you a happy Christmas.
"Remember it’s not what’s under the tree it’s who’s around it as family time and memories are the best gift we will ever have.
"We will be logging out for now to spend time as a family but will still be sharing our vlogs and have scheduled some posts to go out so keep an eye out for those.
"Lots of love from our house to yours - Merry Christmas from us all."
The family also documented the run-up to their Christmas in a special festive episode of their Channel 5 TV show - 22 Kids and Counting at Christmas.
And while the programme documented several family dramas - including Daniel announcing a planned move to Australia, and siblings Chloe and Luke's fallout and not talking to each other for 18 months - some fans of the show hit out at the "staged" content.
"Please take into account the feedback that you’ve had on the new episode," one person commented on Instagram.
"We all love you guys but the fakeness of the show is awful.
"Those of us who actually watch your vlogs can tell it’s super staged with made up arguments and drama, and it doesn’t make for an unbearable watch.
"Please go back to your roots."
After backlash from some other viewers, the person then replied: "I’m not saying they’re not great and we don’t like them.

"But they’re clearly staging their show.
"Go back and watch the old ones and you’ll see the difference."
