Channel 4 viewers left questioning whether Britain’s biggest family are ‘secret millionaires’ after they took all 20 of their kids on holiday to Florida
The documentary series returned to Morecambe to meet the Radford's latest addition - baby number TWENTY
CHANNEL 4 viewers were left shocked after a family with 20 children took their entire brood on a dream holiday to Florida.
On Wednesday night's 20 Kids and Counting, shown on Channel 4, Britain's biggest family were seen taking the trip of a lifetime to Disney World in Florida.
Britain's biggest family, the Radfords, introduce new arrival baby Archie on This Morning
The show followed the Radford family, headed by parents Noel, 47 and Sue, 42, as they welcomed baby number twenty and then celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary with their epic trip.
The Radford family, from Morecambe, Lancs, is made up of kids Chris, 28, Sophie, 24, Chloe, 22, Jack, 20, Daniel, 18, Luke, 17, Millie, 16, Katie, 15, James, 14, Ellie, 12, Aimee, 11, Josh, 10, Max, nine, Tillie, seven, Oscar, six, Casper, five, Hallie, two, and Phoebe, 18 months.
And the show sees the family joined by 8lb 6oz Archie - who was born last Autumn.
In the latest show, Sue and Noel admitted that usually a holiday would result in a pregnancy - but Sue was certain that they wouldn't be taking a baby-shaped souvenir home with them this time.
However, viewers at home were left shocked at how the extra-large family were able to afford to take everyone across the Atlantic for the huge holiday - with one viewer on Twitter even questioning whether or not the family are "secret millionaires" and another estimating that such a jaunt would cost at least "£20k".
Another added: "Who is paying for this Florida vacation? Channel 4?".
A third questioned: "Did half the country just shout at their tv like I just did, 'how the hell can they afford Florida!?'"
In reality, dad Noel, the owner of a pie company, earns just under £50,000 a year, while Sue looks after their kids.

The family also claim just £170 per week in child benefit.
However, while some were left perplexed at how much money the family have, others people home seemed disappointed that she has no immediate plans to add to their brood.
One commented: "Fantastic and wonderful family! Can’t believe there stopping at 20 when they create such wonderful children #20kidsandcounting."
Others were quick to praise the couple's relationship - with baker Noel clearly still besotted with his wife.
Sue fell pregnant with Chris at just 14 in 1989 and was determined to keep the baby.
They got hitched four years later and she was soon expecting their second child Sophie.
She said: "I think I just thrive off it, my body just seems to ping back to normal - I think the main thing is just running around after them all the time, I think I get back into shape quite quickly!"
In 2014, the Radfords — who a year earlier starred in the Channel 4 documentary 16 Kids and Counting — suffered the devastating tragedy of baby Alfie being stillborn.
Understandably, the traumatic experience has caused Sue anxiety during subsequent pregnancies - but she has carried on after she initially swore she would not have another child.
She added: "I used to enjoy being pregnant before we lost Alfie.
"Since we lost him... it's not been an enjoyable experience, it's full of worry now.
"Archie is definitely going to be the last Radford baby."
