THE summer holidays can be a busy time when you have kids – but 22-year-old mum Sue Radford says she can’t wait for schools to let out.
Sue, 49, mother of Britain’s biggest family, told fans she woke up at 5am booking a “surprise” trip for her children over the summer.

And not only that, she admitted that she is jealous of other families who break up sooner.
Sue wrote: “So jealous of some of you finishing school in next few weeks.
“I can’t wait for our summer vacation.
“I woke up at 5am yesterday morning booking activities for our summer trip and it was crazy how quickly things got booked.
“Noel thought I was crazy setting the alarm at that time because he was still snoring.”
Sue asked her followers where they were going on their summer trips, but remained tight-lipped about where the Radfords would visit.
The Lancashire-based mum explained: “The kids know the destination but they have no idea what we’re doing this holiday.
“I can’t reveal too much because they don’t have a clue.”
The Radford family, who are stars of Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting, often go on fun trips during the school holidays.
Sue and Noel support their brood with their pie shop businessand don’t rely on benefits.
Sue had previously launched an extraordinary tirade against a troll in Instagramafter being accused of using “taxpayer money” to finance frequent family vacations.
Critics have questioned the family’s jet-set lifestyle, with the Radfords spending 24 holidays in the last two years alone.
They even splurged on their “dream motorhome” in 2022 for a vacation.
But Sue, who lives in Morecambe, defended her luxury trips to Disneyland, New York, Center Parcs and the Maldives.

“We claim no benefits, the pie company is very successful and so is our media business,” she wrote.
“We work hard, but we are not millionaires!
“The evil is disturbing, however.
