Mum-of-22 Sue Radford has revealed plans to renovate her 10-bedroom mansion in Morecambe this year.
The mother of Britain’s biggest family has shared how they are beginning to embark on the “huge task” of “redecorating the house”.

Sue, who stars on Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting, took to Instagram to share how the first room they would tackle would be the lounge.
The Lancashire-based mum said: “I really want to decorate our hall and replace these units but I can’t decide what I would like.”
Sue shared a photo of her current lounge, which has wooden floors, gray walls and a fireplace with a TV.
After sharing her new home project with followers, people were quick to make their recommendations.
The TV star shared a follow-up post sharing how countless people suggested putting a stylish media wall in the space.
Sue explained: “So everyone is saying the media wall is so hard to analyze because I think it would look amazing.”
Sue, 49, and Noel, 53, have 22 children and squeeze their large brood into a 10-bed former care home.
The house is spread over four floors, with many children sharing a room together.
Busy parents, who support themselves with a bakery and are not dependent on benefits, currently have most of their children living under the same roof.
The Radfords have gained thousands of fans thanks to their popular YouTube channel and Instagram page, and often offer a sneak peek into their fun home.
The block now has its own bar, £27,000 swimming pool and outdoor cinema, which appears to have pleased other members of the family.
In recent years, the couple have embarked on a huge DIY project, transforming their garden, including swapping real grass for an artificial lawn, to try and stop their children getting muddy in the garden.
With the lush fake grass outside now, Sue revealed she keeps it clean by vacuuming it.
During lockdown they also had a water play area for the children and large bean bags as a seating area.

Despite being crowded, the house is immaculate and well looked after by housekeeper Sue.
When visitors walk through the front door, they are greeted by a giant storage room that holds all of the children’s coats.
The hallway is full of the family’s things, with Sue admitting that there is “stuff, stuff everywhere.”
On the ground floor is the cozy living room; featuring a huge leather sofa, fireplace and a toy box filled to the brim.

On this level there is also a small bathroom and a huge shoe storage space, which has been expertly organized by Sue.
The bedrooms are distributed across the first, second and third floors, with emphasis on Noel and Sue’s bedroom, which has a bed with crushed velvet headboard, dressing table and elegant wooden beams on the ceiling, on the top floor.
In the basement hallway is a treadmill, which Sue jokes her husband bought during a “midlife crisis.”
There’s a laundry room with Sue’s most prized possession: a 40-pound washing machine.
Nine loads of laundry are done a day, using 30 bottles of liquid detergent every month and the family uses four rolls of toilet paper a day.
