SHE may have had 22 kids but Sue Radford is more confident than ever at the age of 50.
The mum of Britain’s biggest family posed elegantly in a red swimsuit on her swanky trip to Dubai.
Sue could be seen wearing a red swimsuit as she lounged by the pool on their recent trip.
Taking to her family’s Instagram page, which has 537,000 followers, Sue wrote: “A little sunbathe before heading out the day today – Love the sun.”
Daughter Chloe was quick to comment, praising her glam mum saying: “Looking absolutely amazing.”
Meanwhile, one fan wrote: “22 children and a body like that”, and another added: “Beautiful mother.”
WEIGHT LOSS MISSION
This comes as Sue revealed she has recently shed two stones as part of a health overhaul.
Sue, who celebrated her milestone birthday earlier this year, shared how she had bought some trousers a few months ago, but they no longer fit her due to her shedding the pounds.
The Morecambe-based mum wrote: “Bought these a little while ago in a size 12.
“Think I may need to size down now.”
Sue – who owns a pie shop with husband Noel and stars in Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting – admitted she’d “put on so much” through “eating rubbish food“.
And now she’s gone from feeling “awful” to being “much more healthy and confident”.
“I never thought I’d ever wear anything like this again but I feel so much more healthier and confident for losing nearly 2 stone,” Sue wrote in the Facebook post.
“I had put on so much just eating rubbish food and felt awful.
“I’m now back in the 8 stone bracket, which is where I wanted to be, so I’m really chuffed.”
DUBAI TRIP
Sue appeared to be having an incredible time on her Dubai holiday, sharing a video of the night fountain show at the Atlantis The Royal hotel.
The mum then shared a video exploring the Museum of the Future, which has a whale-shaped blimp as an art installation.
She also snapped expensive supercars driving past her during the trip.
FLORIDA GETAWAY

This follows Sue and Noel flying back to Florida with their kids in August for yet another trip, following their bumper £50,000 holiday in April.
Sue, 50, and Noel, 54, are parents to Christopher, 36, Sophie, 31, Chloe, 30, Jack, 28, Daniel, 26, Luke, 24, Millie, 23, Katie, 22, James, 21, Ellie, 20, Aimee, 19, Josh, 18, Max, 16, Tillie, 15, Oscar, 13, Casper, 12, Alfie, stillborn in 2014, Hallie, 10, Phoebe, 9, Archie, 7, Bonnie, 6, and Heidie, 5.
The Morecambe-based family shared snaps from their trip to Walt Disney Land, before term began in September.
Sue revealed that the family’s favourite theme park is Epcot – and posted a photo of her brood in front of the famous sphere.
Britain’s biggest family were pictured wearing the famous Disney ears as they explored the parks.
This follows the Radfords having a sun-soaked extravaganza in Florida in April for Sue’s 50th birthday, which is estimated to cost them £52,000.
How does family-of-22 the Radfords afford to live?
AS Britain’s biggest family, it may come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills.
Between them, they have a whopping 22 children and seven dogs, which often has some people wonder how they manage their money.
The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds of Noel’s bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home.
On their website, it says: “We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family as well as for the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.”
The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK.
The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm, and some of their children helping out.
The older kids, who are working at least part-time, don’t get a free ride as they’re made to pay a small amount of rent to their parents.
“Us older ones do pay a little bit of board. Granted it’s not a lot but I’m also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.” their daughter Chloe said in a video on the YouTube channel.
Sue added: “We’ve always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we’d rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer.
“I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We’ve always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.”
Noel and Sue famously don’t rely on benefits for their bumper brood and live off their pie shop for income.
They also revealed they make money from brand partnerships on social media.
The Radford family stars in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting – which has run for four series.
Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue have been paid less than £10,000 for each show.
He told the Daily Mail: “The typical fee per episode is going to be in the thousands rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with TV shows of this nature.
“If they continue to get commissioned for a fourth or fifth season, then they are going to be able to command a higher fee.”
He estimates that the Radfords make £ 5,000 an episode.
