Britain’s biggest family the Radfords have revealed their incredible garden makeover – which even has a mini water park.

Mum Sue, who recently gave birth to her 22nd child, shared pictures of the stunning lockdown transformation, which took the clan just two days to complete as they made the most of the glorious sunshine.

“It’s been fun and games,” she joked, while admitting it actually took a lot of hard graft.

The Radfords started the transformation of their tried-looking garden last week, with pictures showing a mountain of rumble after levelling out the ground.

Even two-year-old Archie was “in his element” and happily mucked in armed with a broom and drill while dad Noel supervised.

And just 48 hours later, on Tuesday, they created a water park and play area in their very own back garden which looks totally awesome.

It includes a swing set, slide, climbing frame as well as a mud kitchen.

They have also added some cute personalized teepees, with a comfy seating area for all the family.

Sue and Noel shared videos of the outdoor set-up on their Instagram Stories and YouTube showing their family enjoying the garden and enjoying some ice lollies.

Some also took their scooters for a whizz. on the astroturf.

Meanwhile, they also added a dinosaur-themed water feature which comes with a mini slide and a large paddling pool for the children to cool off in.

It took hours of hard graft

The couple bought the Victorian property, a former care home in Morecambe, more than 15 years ago and keep it in immaculate condition.

They first found fame in 2012 when their lives were the focus of a Channel 4 documentary called 15 Kids and Counting

Sue fell pregnant with her first child at age 13. Her and Noel run their own pie business and do not claim extra state benefits.

The results paid off

A number of their children have already flown the nest and are married and have children of their own.

The Radfords welcomed the 22nd baby to the family back in April with Sue announcing the news on Facebook.

Born on April 3, Sue and Noel revealed the name of the baby girl was Heidie Rose a few days later.

Although it was one of the strangest births for Sue, she claimed it was a great experience despite it being during the pandemic.
