Noel and Sue Radford, parents to 22 children, have spoken out against "cowardly trolls with empty lives" who criticise their large family online. The couple, who have been in the public eye since 2012, regularly share their family's adventures - including luxury holidays, birthday parties, and new toy hauls - on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
However, in their new book, The Radfords: Making Life Count, they reveal the negative side of fame, including dealing with anonymous critics and bullies. Noel, 53, said: "Our own social media accounts are a nice place to be - but then there's a whole other world which, sadly, isn't quite the same."
He added: "I think some of these people say what they say just because they are sitting behind a keyboard. They think they can say anything they like and it doesn't matter - it doesn't have any consequences. There are people who are jealous of what you've got."

Sue, 49, agreed, saying that these trolls don't see them as real people and that they must not be happy with their own lives to try to bring others down, reports the Mirror. The couple, who have been happily married since 1992, are proud parents to a large family of 22 children.
They are Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 12, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one. However, it seems that not everyone is happy for their thriving family.
