The reality TV star has taken 10 family holidays this year, including one to Florida in April. Following this trip, she was given a school fine, as she took her children out of school for the £52,000 trip that celebrated her 50th birthday.

She and her husband, Noel, were found guilty of failing to ensure regular school attendance for four of their children and were subsequently whacked with a £65 fine for each child, as well as £118 due in court costs. As such, the whole amount they had to pay was £378.

The pair, who made a name for themselves by creating Britain’s largest family and starring in a TV show about raising 22 children, previously told the Daily Mail that they were “feeling the pinch” when it came to money.

But, they added that they were happy to spend over £50,000 on the trip to Florida as they hoped it would be the trip of a lifetime. They returned to Florida for a summer holiday later that year.

Only three weeks after the family returned, some of the children were taken to Ireland for a 48-hour survival course. In September, they took a cruise around the Caribbean, and they have also been to Dubai this year.

Sue and Noel Radford have children ranging from ages 35 to five. Chris is the eldest, followed by Sophie, 31, Chloe, 29, Jack, 28, Daniel, 26, Luke, 24, Millie, 23, Katie, 22, James, 21, Ellie, 19, Aimee, 18, Josh, 17, Max, 16, Tillie, 14, Oscar, 13, Casper, 12, Haillie, nine, Phoebe, eight, Archie, seven, Bonnie, six, and Heidi, five. Another child, Alfie, was stillborn in 2014.

The couple live with 19 of their children in a 10 bedroom, former care home in Morecambe, Lancashire. The property also boats an outdoor bar and cinema, as well as a swimming pool.

Robbie Williams’ daughter Teddy, 13, branded ‘amazing’ as she meets superfan

Robbie Williams’ daughter, Teddy, shared a sweet moment with a fan while walking the red carpet at the Tinsel Town premiere earlier this week alongside her parents

Robbie Williams’ daughter was hailed as “brilliant” by a fan. The musician and his wife, Ayda Williams, walked the red carpet with Teddy, 13, at the Tinsel Town premiere on Thursday night.

In the film, Teddy, who has remained out of the spotlight until now, plays the daughter of Rebel Wilson’s character, Jill. But as Teddy posed for pictures in London, there was one fan who was left blown away by the teen’s manners throughout the filming process and on the night of the premiere.

Teddy and Robbie met a fan, Connie, 12, who also appears in the movie as an extra. Robbie and his wife, Ayda, also met with Connie’s mother, who couldn’t help but praise their daughter.

“Hi gorgeous, what’s your name?” Robbie asked Connie, before replying: “Connie, pleased to meet you, Connie.” Teddy added: “I love your dress, stunning.” as Ayda explained that Connie’s outfit was: “Very pretty.” Connie’s mother turned to Teddy, saying: “You took time to spend with her. Do you know what? Your mum and dad have done you well, you are amazing.”

“Wow, thank you,” Teddy said. Robbie, blown away by the comment, instantly leaned in and gave Connie’s mum a hug. But while Robbie and Ayda have kept Teddy out of the spotlight until now, the legendary singer said he was “super proud” of his eldest, whose real name is Theodora Rose.

Speaking to the Press Association, Rock DJ hitmaker Robbie said: “I’m super proud. It’s a very weird situation to be in, to put your daughter out into the public, and it’s a very, very tiny little toe in just to go, this is what it’s like, now go back to school, and we’ll see what happens later on.

“But I just want people to see what I see with her every day, which is how kind and how compassionate and empathic she is. I’m super proud of just her, and then this is (the) icing.” Directed by Chris Foggin, known for comedies Fisherman’s Friends and Bank Of Dave, Tinsel Town also stars Danny Dyer, best known for playing pub landlord Mick Carter in EastEnders and London-based Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan.

Meanwhile, a source told The Sun in February when Teddy was spotted filming in Wetherby, West Yorkshire: “Teddy was born to be a star – after all, her parents are both the ultimate performers.

“Robbie and Ayda have been keen to keep her out of the spotlight for as long as possible, though – obscuring her face on social media etc – so this is all very much being driven by Teddy, who’s wanted to be on stage since she was old enough to talk!

“It’s a small part, but obviously is super-exciting, and everyone is really proud of her. She’s an absolutely lovely girl on and off screen, and has fitted in seamlessly into on-set life.”

Meanwhile, Ayda has previously opened up about her and Robbie’s decision to keep their four children private. She said: “We never show their faces, it’s really important to us. We’re really proud, and we want to share absolutely everything, but there’s a law in this country that means they can’t put pictures up of kids in the papers unless you’re posting their faces.”

Prince William makes dramatic U-turn after Kate Middleton’s ‘crazy’ admission

The Prince of Wales once admitted to having a “crazy” hobby that he didn’t share with his ex-husband, Prince William, but it seems he may have had a different perspective.

Prince William appears to have made a U-turn when it comes to one of his wife’s hobbies he previously called ‘crazy’. In 2023, the Princess of Wales made the unexpected admission that one of her loves was outdoor cold water swimming, saying: “The colder the better.”

It came as William, Kate and William’s aunt Princess Anne were interviewed by Anne’s son-in-law about sport for a special episode of the podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby. On it Kate, explained how even when it’s dark and wet she would seek out cold water, and explained that her husband thought that she was crazy.

William told how he has since entered the practice on a recent royal tour, which suggests Kate may have persuaded him of the benefits.

He met with members of the Colwyn Bay Blue Tits, a cold water swimming club, while on a visit to Wales earlier this week while enjoying a beach walk in Colwyn Bay.

He told them, he had now done some outdoor cold water swimming dips in Scotland and agreed that “you feel great afterwards”. He added: “I love it. I do a lot of yelling and screaming when I get in.”

Kate mentioned that she even wears a robe after swimming, which is appropriate. Kate made the comment while visiting Wales where they were supposed to meet the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team after a person was clad in a robe to keep warm in the rain.

Local mother Alison Cheeke told People, “She said she swims in cold water with one of them.” According to a Harvard Public Health article, swimming in cold water is thought to have a lot of positive psychological effects in addition to being good physical exercise.

The Princess adores water, without a doubt. She is also a qualified scuba diver, it was revealed in 2015. She was granted access to a depth of up to 98 feet (30 meters) after passing the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) Advanced Open Water Diver certification.

Meanwhile, William enjoys a fear-inducing hobby. Kate was asked if William would still ride a motorbike occasionally during a royal engagement in the Scottish city of Dundee in 2015.

He is still riding it, she said. When he goes out on it, it always makes me cry. I’m terrified. I’m hoping to keep George away from it.

However, William, a father of three, said he wasn’t riding anymore while taking a trip to the Isle of Man TT motorcycle races. I need to reduce the intensity. I miss the big trips because it’s always been about being with everyone else.

JoJo Siwa breaks silence on relationship after Chris Hughes told viewers he was ‘single’

After Chris Hughes claimed on Celebrity Master Chef that he had been single for three years, JoJo Siwa addressed her relationship with Chris Hughes on social media.

JoJo Siwa has finally addressed her relationship with Chris Hughes after the former Love Island star opened up about his own love life on Celebrity Master Chef. The pair became friends on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, and despite JoJo being in a relationship at the time, their friendship eventually blossomed into a romance. They eventually confirmed their romance in June of this year and have since made it no secret that they’re head over heels for one another.

But Chris left people concerned this week. While on the BBC show, he said that he was “single” and had been for some time. Speaking to the cameras, the reality star said: “So, I live on my own, I’ve been single for three years, so it’s not like I’m cooking for anyone.” He added: It’s quite sad, really, isn’t it? I need someone there to show off to in the kitchen, I’ve got the judges.”

Fans of Chris and JoJo were reportedly together when the episode aired, so they were unsure whether they were still relevant.

Now, JoJo has spoken out to address the speculation while celebrating their six-month anniversary together. Sharing a collage of snaps together on Instagram, JoJo said: “6 months (heart emoji), wouldn’t trade one day for anything.”

Full heart the last six months, the American star continued to post a video of the couple dancing along with a heart emoji. Chris has not commented on the speculation or their anniversary, though.

However, eagle-eyed viewers had pointed out that Chris and JoJo had been filmed before the episode. One person claimed online that they had filmed MasterChef before Big Brother in May. They were unsure whether or not it would ever air.

It was shot earlier this year before he met her, according to a second penned. Chris recently revealed the precise moment he first fell in love with JoJo, who was first recognized on Dance Moms.

His statement confirmed a theory that couple fans had hatched months prior. On the Question the Default podcast, Chris has since opened up to Harry Corrin. He argued that “nothing was forced or rushed; it just happened.”

Shortly after CBB, Chris claimed to have traveled to Mexico to meet her. He continued, “I spent a few days with her and her family in Orlando, and that’s where it all started,” adding, “I flew out to surprise her, which was nice.”

He continued, “I met up with her in Mexico, and that’s where things started to change and develop. which was lovely and kept to herself.

“But it was genuinely lovely, and it just happened,” he said. JoJo, an American star, has revealed her intentions for the aisle. She said, “Weddings are for two people. So we would have to choose how it would appear. However, I am aware that I need to assist Chris in creating the playlist and that I want it to have a baby-blue scheme.
