'I absolutely hate it' fumes Noel Radford amid makeover at 'millionaire mansion' that's home to Britain's biggest family
The Radford family have given fans a sneak peek inside their 10-bedroom Morecambe mansion as they continue renovating the property. Parents Sue and Noel have been documenting their home makeover on their popular YouTube channel, after announcing they were taking on the huge task of decorating the entire house.
Sue, 49, and Noel, 53, who star in 22 Kids and Counting, shared a new YouTube video showing the second day of their decorating efforts, revealing they'd already completed their kids' bedrooms and upstairs landing. Next up on the couple's list was the downstairs area of their home, and Noel admitted he wasn't looking forward to one particular job.
"Which I absolutely hate, can't stand glossing," he told the camera. "You're just painting forever and don't seem to be getting anywhere do you, but anyway, it's got to be done so I'll have to do that at some point."
The dad-of-22 then showed off the various paint samples he and Sue had considered for the kitchen, revealing they'd decided on sage green. He recommended Dulux Extra Care paint to his subscribers, saying it is ideal for a busy home filled with kids.
"We've used it for years especially all the walls, in the hallway, in the kitchen and place like that with all the kids' sticky fingers and things like that," Noel explained.
The pair also got to work on the dining room, which they decided to paint grey. Sue had selected a patterned wallpaper to use on one of the walls, but putting it up didn't quite go to plan as they tried to stick it over the existing wallpaper.
"We've had a bit of a disaster, uh, the paper underneath started coming off when we put this paper on," Noel explained. "We thought we'd get away with it but it's not working so we're having to take all this off quickly."
Having rectified their mistakes, Noel and Sue then showed fans the rooms they'd decorated at their home. Sue explained that more changes were to come, as they planned to add "different bits of colour" to their home.
Sue and Noel's 10-bedroom property is a former care home, which spans an impressive four floors. With most of their 22 children still living at home, many of the siblings share rooms. The property even boasts its own bar, a £27,000 swimming pool and an outdoor cinema.
