According to Sue and hubby Noel, parents to Britain’s biggest family, the Radfords, being well-known across the nation can also come with less positive aspects – and peeping super fans is one of them.

In a short clip shared on Instagram, the 48-year-old mum revealed the massive brood is no strangers to people attempting to get a closer look of them – and they know no boundaries.
As shown in their TV reality series, 22 Kids and Counting on Channel 5, the family-of-24 regularly spot action outside their ten-bed Lancashire-based property.
Not only is there ”proper staring in the garden” from behind the fence, their children have also previously spotted groups of people stood by the gate.
To make matters even worse and scary for the parents, who famously don’t rely on benefits to fund their lifestyle, there was also a recent instance where fans were ”taking pictures” of Sue’s car and even the family’s £40k motorhome.
Asked if this was a regular occurrence, the family revealed that, unfortunately, this happened ”all the time”.
Sharing her woes, Sue said: ”The front gate will open and they’ll start walking up the footpath.
”And that’s where we draw the line.”
She went on: ”There’s definitely a line that we draw with privacy – I think you have to.
”When they open the gate, come and knock on the front door, then that’s just vert different.
”And I think for us that’s a bit, that’s the line that you just, you don’t cross,” she said in the post.
”It’s more a security side of the kids, you know, their protection because you just don’t know who is out there.
”All it takes is one – and that’s it.”
These concerns of the lack of privacy have led to a big decision – the family considering moving elsewhere.
Noel echoed Sue’s thoughts, saying: ”An Englishman’s home should be his castle, and it’s your own private space.
”It’s where your family live, isn’t it?
”I think that has gone too far. We don’t think we can live here anymore, so we’ve decided to make another attempt to move house.”
But how has the search gone so far?
Well, luckily for the duo and their kids, Noel and Sue seem to have found their dream home – and their offer was accepted by the estate agent.
“We’ve just bought a house! How exciting!” Sue gushed in yesterday’s episode of 22 Kids and Counting.
