Britain's biggest family have issued a response after they were fined for taking their children on holiday to Disney World earlier this year.
For those unfamiliar with the Radford Family, they shot to fame on Channel 4’s 2012 documentary 15 Kids and Counting - and they've since expanded the brood. Noel and Sue Radford are now parents to 22 children, as well as 11 grandchildren born to some of their eldest.
Sue and Noel share sons Chris, 36, Jack, 28, Daniel, 26, Luke, 24, James, 21, Josh, 18, Max, 16, Oscar, 13, Casper, 12, Archie, seven, and had a stillborn son named Alfie in 2014.
And they're also parents to daughters Sophie, 31, Chloe, 29, Millie, 23, Katie, 22, Ellie, 20, Aimee, 19, Tillie, 15, Hallie, 10, Phoebe, nine, Bonnie, six and Heidie, five.

They've kept up the reality TV career and now appear in the aptly-titled show, 22 Kids and Counting, which documents their day-to-day life.
However, the family have come under fire recently after whisking off 21 of their 22 kids, as well as their grandkids, to Disney World, Florida for a lavish family holiday which is thought to have cost a whopping £52,000 for flights and accommodation.
Their second-eldest daughter Chloe stayed at home as she was pregnant and expecting a child of her own at the time.
But, as we say, not everything went smoothly as the parents faced a series of fines at Preston Magistrates Court for removing a number of their children from school for the magical trip.
The Sun reported that they were found guilty of failing to ensure regular attendance at school for four of their children between March 24 and May 1, 2025.
In total Sue and Noel were fined £756 for the children who they took out of school during term time and and the associated court costs.
And now, following some backlash online after the news came to light, the influencer family have issued a statement hitting out at the school and claiming there's been a breach of data protection.
Posting to their 536,000 followers on their Instagram story, the parents penned: "Will also be going into details of the children's secondary school breaching data protection from sharing our children's details on someone else's fine form who doesn't live in our house along with emails sent to the school and registration details we also had another child's details and emails on our form now please tell me if this is okay or not?"
So, it looks like more drama could be on the way for Britain's biggest family.
As well as the statement, the Radfords have also been keeping their followers up to date with their lives by sharing a picture of some homemade soup and a good report card their five-year-old Bonnie brought back from school.
