UK's biggest family respond with strong statement after being taken to court over £52,000 holiday

They've raised concerns of their own with the school

Britain's biggest family have responded after they were fined for taking their children on a holiday to Disney World in Florida.

The Radford family, stars of the series 22 Kids and Counting, took most of the relatives across the pond to celebrate mum Sue's 50th birthday back in April.

However, upon their return the family were hit with a series of fines for taking their kids out of school, with them being found guilty of failing to ensure regular attendance at school according to Preston Magistrates Court.

In total they were fined £756 for the children who they took out of school and the associated court costs, though that amount pales in comparison to the cost of taking such a large family to Disney World as they had to pay around £52,000 for that.

However, the family have since responded with a statement hitting out at the school some of their children go to and claiming that they breached data protection.

On social media the family have been posting a pot of soup and one of their kids getting a good report card from class, and also about this whole Disney World kerfuffle.

They said: "Will also be going into details of the children's secondary school breaching data protection from sharing our children's details on someone else's fine form who doesn't live in our house along with emails sent to the school and registration details we also had another child's details and emails on our form now please tell me if this is ok or not?"

Oh dear, it sounds like the plot is thickening and that the Radford family have got a considerable bone to pick with their children's school.

We'll have to see how that one pans out and what more the family have to say about it in due course.

The Radford family appears to have called time on the expansion at 22 kids, having previously said that their youngest would be their last and any further additions to the family would come in the form of grandchildren.

However, they did suggest that they could be open to adopting or fostering other children even if they reckon they're going to stop at 22 kids.

Looking after a family that large is an expensive business which they mostly pay for through the family bakery, which makes pies and was run by dad Noel for 16 years before his retirement a couple of years ago.

The kids have mostly taken over things, though their dad has popped his head back round the door a few times.
