Sue Radford, 48, her husband Noel, 52, and their 22 children are getting set for a bumper Christmas together.

After their festive TV special aired earlier this week, it became clear there was a sibling feud brooding between two of the Radford children, Luke, 23, and Megan, 28, putting the family's Christmas plans in jeopardy.

However, the family are keen to put their differences behind them and have a festive celebration to remember.

Planning for Christmas starts early for Sue.

In October, the reality TV star announced she had already started Christmas shopping for her burgeoning brood. The MailOnline have reported that Sue and Noel buy roughly 300 presents for their children and spend between £100 and £200 for each main present.

The Radford's also get through a lot of food on the big day, with Sue's Christmas Day menu consisting of: Two turkeys, 60 pigs in blankets, 3kg of Brussels sprouts, 7.5kg of potatoes, 4kg carrots, 60 Yorkshire puddings, 16 litres of fizzy drink, two bottles of cream liqueur, four Christmas puddings, 148 mince pies and one yule log as well as two tubs of family chocolate.

The family are fully in the Christmas mood after visiting Edinburgh's Christmas market and the Winter Wonderland experience at Whinfell Forest in Cumbria.
