Noel, 54, Sue, 49, and their kids and grandchildren joined Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on the sofa to chat about their new TV show 22 Kids And A Wedding.
During the segment on This Morning, it was mentioned that Sue would be celebrating a huge milestone later this year – her 50th birthday.
Sue said: ‘Turning 50, you’ve got to make the most of it. You’ve got to go big, haven’t you?’
Speaking about their plans, Noel added: ‘Ideally we would love to get away on our own, just the two of us. But we do want to do a big family holiday. Everybody. Grandkids. Just everyone.
‘So that will be getting on to 35, something like that.’

Noel and Sue Radford shot to fame in 2012 when they documented their huge family on 15 Kids and Counting
Cat asked: ‘Have you ever done that before, what are people’s responses?’
Noel replied: ‘The most we’ve had is 26. It’s alright. We don’t do hotels, we do a villa. So it’s more controlled.’
But many took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to point something else out.
One wrote on the social media platform: ‘I see the kids have had a day off school…. #ThisMorning.’
Another added: ‘Why are those Radford kids not at school!! Hope they are getting fined!!!’
A third questioned: ‘Why are the kids not in school?’
Meanwhile a fourth also asked: ‘Why aren’t they all at school?’
A fifth fumed: ‘Why tf does this country give a platform to nobodies, more trash stealing a living, kids not even in school!!!’

‘That will be nice.’
Elsewhere in the episode Ben was interested to find out what Harley, who married the Radfords’ daughter Millie in November, thinks about being part of the huge family.
The host asked him: ‘Harley, as the person who has come into this family, is it quite overwhelming being greeted by the Radfords? What is it like being the son-in-law?’
Harley replied: ‘To be honest, it’s not that bad. Very loving people, very nice, very welcoming.’
He added: ‘My house is more crazy than the Radfords’!’

The family revealed the launch of their new show on Instagram earlier this month, entitled 22 Kids and a Wedding, which started airing last weekend. It will focus on their daughter Millie’s wedding to Harley Passmore.
