Britain’s “biggest family” has revealed a glimpse of their Christmas morning and the many gifts the children received, which cost more than £3,000.
Sue and Noel Radford, 22-year-old parents from Morecambe, Lancashire, decided YouTube to show your followers what Christmas morning is like in your home.
In Noel’s words, they were “toys galore”, and the children were tearing up their presents from seven in the morning.
Sue revealed in 2018 that she has a budget of between £100 and £200 for a main gift for each of the children.
‘We save throughout the year, keeping the money in an account. “I also make supermarket savings stamps for the grocery store,” Sue previously told the Daily Mail.
Each year they buy about 300 gifts, including the “main gift” and then “gifts” for each of their children.
However, this year, parents appeared to have gone over budget, with one child receiving a £999 iPhone.
Elsewhere, three of the Radford children received an Amazon Fire tablet, each costing £199, while Sophie Rose, Noel and Sue’s second daughter, received a £400 Breville coffee machine.
The Radford family have revealed a glimpse of Christmas at their home in Morecambe, Lancashire, with many of the children receiving new bikes (pictured).
The family, who are the stars of Channel 5 show 22 Kids and Counting, shared the footage as part of their ‘vlogmas’, which is where YouTubers upload clips of what they do every day throughout December.
On Instagram, the parents described the morning as “magical”, adding that it was “nothing but presents” on YouTube.
While the younger children found toys and dolls waiting for them under the tree, the older children received items including £140 UGG trainers, £110 Nike Jordan Dunks and a £90 North Face sweatshirt.
The 40-minute video showed the family destroying Christmas presents worth at least £3,338.96.
After opening their gifts, the children took a walk around their hometown, and the children chose to take their new bicycles and scooters.
The mother of 22 starts wrapping her family’s gifts in September, three months before the big day, meaning she has to get them even sooner.

Sue previously revealed in 2018 that she budgets between £100 and £200 for a main gift for each of the children.
You need to make sure you have enough wrapping paper, as they usually get between 50 and 70 rolls for all of their children.
Sue prides herself on being a quick wrapper and said she can often have a stack of presents ready and dusted long before Christmas.
Children write lists of what they want, but they don’t always get the objects of their dreams.
However, due to their television work and their large following on social media sites, the Radfords sometimes receive once-in-a-lifetime experiences and gifts from brands in exchange for coverage.
In the past, they apparently gave them free tickets to the Universal Orlando theme park and gave them a new roof, a hot tub, and an outdoor movie theater.
Meanwhile, the parents decided to put up their holiday tree in November and wanted to surprise their children by transforming their house into a winter wonderland when they returned from school.
Sue and Noel appeared to go all out decorating their £975,000 home, with trees dressed head to toe in lights and decorations in almost every room.
‘They can decorate all their little trees (in their rooms). “I really enjoy making the Christmas tree in the living room, they’ll probably help me make the one in the dining room,” Sue said in one clip.
With 22 additional children and grandchildren, the Christmas season is busy for Sue and Noel Radford.
Their children also have special Christmas bedding that Sue and Noel use to help them get into the holiday spirit.
Last year, Sue struggled with a “broken rib” after a bout of “painful” coughing and therefore started decorating later than she would have liked.
But this year, the 22-year-old mother, who loves the Christmas season so much she refers to herself as “Mrs. Claus,” came back with a vengeance and gave herself the nearly impossible task of sprucing up the living room in less than an hour.
“Quick, we’re under pressure,” he told Noel, as they dug up the snow-covered green artificial tree.
To the left of the tree was a shelf crammed with tinsel, lights and countless stockings, thought to be one for each member of the famous family.
Last year, the family had three Christmas trees. – decorated with personalized ornaments for last year’s children and stockings for each family member.
Sue and Noel also received help from their grandchildren, Chester and Ophelia, who are Millie’s children.
The 23-year-old recently married Harley Passmore at the luxurious Wennington Hall in Lancashire, where wedding packages start at £8,995.
In another clip, Sue and Noel showed their reaction to the decorations, as many entered the room with huge smiles on their faces.
The children began looking inside the stockings hoping to find candy canes and sweets.
Meanwhile, preparing dinner for more than 22 people each year is no easy task and requires careful planning.
Noel is in charge of cooking everything while Sue is in charge of the preparation.
Every year he shops at the supermarket and picks up around 10kg of potatoes, 4kg of carrots, 60 Yorkshire puddings and 120 pigs in blankets.
He previously told the Daily Mail that all his children like Brussels sprouts, meaning they buy a whopping 2.5kg of them.
The Radfords also need three packages of Christmas cookies, since there are usually only 12 inside each box and they have a rule that everyone at the table must read their joke.
Since many of them do not like the traditional nuts and Christmas pudding soaked in alcohol, they opt for dessert and cupcake.
The total bill comes to around £400 before you even set foot in the butcher shop to buy meat, as they usually host around 30 guests each year.
