In a video posted to The Radford Family Instagram page, Hallie, 8, Phoebe, 7, Bonnie, 5, Heidie, 3 and Archie, 6 can be seen running about on a family campsite, on an Easter egg hunt.

Helped by Sue and Noel, the children fill out a questionnaire, in the hopes of winning some chocolate goodies.

"The temptation to eat this egg", Sue joked, as her kids read a clue off a giant chocolate egg situated in the middle of the campsite.

The kids beamed proudly every time they uncovered an answer, jumping for joy as they made the most of the sunny spring weather.

"Such a lovely morning doing the campsite's Easter egg hunt", said Sue.

"Hope you're having a lovely Easter."

The five children who took part in the Easter egg hunt are the youngest of Sue and Noel's 22 strong brood.

They are also parents to Chris, 34, Sophie, 30, Chloe, 28, Jack, 26, Daniel, 25, Luke, 23, Millie, 22, Katie, 21, James 21, Ellie, 18, Tilly, 13, Oscar, 12 and Casper 11.

It is not clear whether any other members of the family are present on the camping trip.

The couple are also proud grandparents to eight grandchildren.

Sue and Noel have been married for over three decades but Sue became pregnant with their first child when she was just 13-years-old.

In their new book, The Radfords: Making Life Count, Noel addressed the criticism the couple has received for starting a family so early.

He said: "We were both kids.

"It was not as if I was 10 or 15 years older than Sue.

"For a lot of people, though, things are just black and white and you are tarnished with the same brush as other people in totally different situations.
