The UK's biggest family are in court after spending £52,000 on a trip to Disney World earlier this year.
Morecambe couple Sue and Noel Radford, who are the parents to 22 children, took the family to Florida to celebrate Sue's 50th Birthday back in April.
The star of Channel 5's 22 Kids and Counting shared pictures of the holiday on Instagram, as Sue posed with Minnie Mouse ears, while the children met the likes of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
Their daughter Chloe, 29, didn't travel with the family as she was due to give birth to her second child.

24-year-old Millie Radford and her two children were also unable to fly out with the rest of the group because their ESTA certificates had expired.
It meant that Noel stayed behind to help them reapply and join up with the rest of them the next day.
Since the family came back from the trip, however, they have received fines for taking their kids out of school, as reported by LancsLive.
The parents were found guilty of failing to ensure regular attendance at school for four of their children between 24 March and 1 May 2025 at Preston Magistrates Court.

Sue and Noel were fined £65 per child and were ordered to pay £118 in court costs. This ended up being an extra £756 cost to the Florida holiday, which was £52,000.
One of their sources of income used to come from the Radford Pie company family business that Noel worked at until his retirement in 2023.
On the fines given to the family, a Lancashire County Council spokesman said: "Ensuring young people receive a good education and have a good start in life is one of our key priorities.
"Evidence shows that attainment is linked to attendance, so supporting our schools with this issue is important.

"The decision to authorise absence or not rests with the headteacher of the particular school and Penalty Notices are an enforcement option that are available to local authorities, if requested by schools."
They added: "It is the court that determines whether a fine should be issued. The laws on attendance are very clear and there are some legitimate reasons why pupils can't always go to school.
"We always encourage schools to work closely with parents to reduce unauthorised absences and our aim is to ensure that children and young people attend school and receive a good education."
