Sue Radford shares reality of being a mum-of-22 on a 12-hour journey as family head off on holiday - but this time they're NOT hitting Disneyland
The pad now has its own bar, £27,000 swimming pool and outdoor cinema, which seem to have gone down well with the other family members.
Over the past few years, the couple has embarked on a massive DIY project, transforming their garden, including ditching real grass in favour of artificial lawn, to try and stop their kids from getting muddy in the garden.
With lush faux turf outside now, Sue revealed she keeps it clean by vacuuming it.
During lockdown they have also had a water play area for the kids and large bean bags as a seating area.

When visitors walk through the front door they're greeted by a giant storage unit that holds all the children's coats.
