YOU think you struggle keeping your kids entertained during half term?

Imagine how chaotic it is for parents-of-22 Sue and Noel Radford, who have had to survive 128 school holidays – not to mention home-schooling during lockdown.

The busy parents, who have Britain’s biggest family, certainly know a thing or two about keeping their bumper brood occupied when they aren’t at school.

On tonight’s episode of 22 Kids and Counting on Channel 5, Sue and Noel decide to host their own “Radford Olympics” on the nearby beach in Morecambe.

Sue said: “It’s a massive challenge in the school holidays to find things to keep the kids entertained.

“We’ve got teenagers and we’ve got toddlers, so we have to try and find things that will please everyone, which is really hard work.

“We always do like them to try new experiences, things that they haven’t done before.

“We need to find things to do that will tire them out.”

Noel added: “It’s a nice sunny day, we’ll get down to our local beach and have a Radfords sports day.”

The first challenge is to get the youngsters out of the mud, but then they host a classic sack race.

Next up is a three-legged race, which sees many of the tots toppling over in the sand.

Sue added: “Our kids absolutely love games, they are very competitive, I wonder where they get that from, Noel? 

“Noel is the competitive one in the family.”

The creative parents end their sports day with an egg and spoon race – and they even take part themselves, with Sue walking away with a victory.

Another way the family try to keep their bumper brood entertained in the Channel 5 show is a big day out at a farm.

The kids are highly amused when they spy a frisky sheep or two and Sue even gets stuck in milking a goat.

The family famously doesn’t rely on benefits and is supported by their bakery, and later in the episode, Noel and daughter Chloe decide to enter their pies into The British Pie Awards.

Noel has been a baker for 30 years, but Chloe thinks she can teach him a thing or two.

The dad-and-daughter duo set up a tasting table to see what the public think of Noel’s new vegan recipe and Chloe’s chicken and prosecco creation.

Noel admitted defeat when Chloe’s pie was most popular, and she said: “I’m quite proud of my recipe.”

However, at the awards show it is Noel who walks away with a silver prize.

Finally, Ellie celebrates her sweet 16 – and is the 10th Radford to reach the age of 16.

Sue said: “A lot of planning goes into their birthdays, we always like to make them really special.”

Noel said: “We have 21 birthdays a year, that's £200 or £300, that’s between £5-6,000, why do we work things out like this? It’s just depressing!”

Sue and Noel are parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 28, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 13, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.

Sadly the couple's 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.

Sue revealed they have spent £1million raising their large brood and she has been pregnant for 16-and-a-half YEARS.
