WITH the Easter holidays in full swing, that can mean only one thing – the Radfords are heading abroad. 

Britain’s Biggest Family jetted away for 14 lavish trips last year – not only did they enjoy a £3,800 a night Disney cruise, but they also visited a swanky Dubai jaunt and took trips to Lapland, New York, Legoland and the Maldives, too.

And now, with the kids off school for Easter, Sue, 50, and Noel, 54, have taken their bumper brood away, yet again.

But it appears that the Radford’s posh trip to the US didn’t get off to a great start – and in fact, saw Millie Radford and her children separated. 

Posting on social media, Millie Radford, who first became a mum at 19 and is Sue and Noel’s third eldest daughter, detailed the family’s chaotic situation that left her stranded after a holiday mishap.

In a post shared to her Instagram stories, the 23-year-old mum-of-three revealed that she and two of her kids were “rejected” from joining a flight to America with their wider family.

The young mother shared how one of her three children was able to board the TUI plane with her mother, Sue Radford, and the rest of the clan, while she and her two older kids were forced to remain at Gatwick Airport.

Despite being separated from daughter Elodie, 18 months, Millie’s other children, Ophelia, four, and Chester, three, faced the same issue as their mother and weren’t allowed on the flight.

The incident resulted from their ESTAs being out of date, with the travel authorisation used by visitors traveling to the US without a Visa.

Millie then told her 131,000 followers: “Guys let this be your reminder to double check your ESTA because mine, Chester and Ophelia’s had run out.

“We [were] rejected being allowed on our flight today to America.”

Millie, who got married last year, then explained: “Harley and Elodie [were] able to get onto the light.

“Lucky we have re-applied and they have all come back in time for us to fly tomorrow.”

Luckily for Millie, the family’s patriarch was on hand to help, as she continued: “My dad has stayed to help me thank god because we’ve had to travel hours to another airport from Gatwick.” 

Shortly after, Sue re-shared the story post and alongside a crying emoji, sobbed: “Absolute worst start to the holiday.” 

Moments later, the Radford matriarch uploaded a snap holding her granddaughter Elodie, shortly after they arrived in America.

Reassuring Millie that her daughter was fine after their separation, Sue wrote: “I’m fine mummy don’t worry and I was such a good girl on the flight.” 

The family’s Easter trip is just days after Sue celebrated her 50th birthday.

While Millie didn’t confirm exactly where in the US the family are headed to, it’s highly likely that we can expect to see epic Disneyland content on their feeds very soon. 

Last year, Noel hinted at the family’s big holiday plans for 2025 and wrote: ”Well, it is a big birthday for a certain someone in 2025 – and Expedition Everest is definitely calling me home.”

He also added: ”I could pretend I’m going to new places in 2025 but everyone knows I’m going back to Disney.”
