7 SUE Radford has expressed her outrage after her daughter Tillie was denied access to a VIP area, despite forking out £550 for the ticket.
The matriarch of the Radford brood, 49, took to Instagram to express her sheer fury after the 13-year-old teenager was turned away from a VIP area at a concert.

The 49-year-old disclosed that the disappointing event unfolded at Manchester’s Co-Op Live arena and had allegedly left the teen in tears.
According to mum-of-22 Sue, Tillie and her friends were wrongly sent to a different queue, which resulted in them missing the exclusive VIP experience they’d splashed out on.
In an angry Instagram story, the parent raged: “Picked up a very upset Tillie from the Co-Op Live last night.
”We paid for VIP lounge access tickets with entry at 3pm. The girls got put in the WRONG line even after asking multiple people where they needed to go.”
This unfortunate mix-up meant the group of pals was deprived of their VIP treatment, as Sue went on: “By the time they got let in at 6pm, the lounge was closed and they were not standing in the area we paid for”.
As reported by The Mirror, Sue then reached out to the 535k-strong fanbase on Instagram to seek advice.
”As you can imagine, we are not happy.
”Does anyone know how we can go about contacting them? What a poorly organised arena.”
The mother of the clan expressed her disappointment with the Co-Op Live Arena by uploading a screenshot of tickets and tagging the venue’s official account, stating: “This is what we paid for. This is what we didn’t get.”
This comes after the parents of the bumper brood, Sue and Noel Radfords, were shamed for feeding their kids ”fatty” foods during their fun-filled Florida holiday.
After venturing into the food hall, Britain’s biggest family picked their favourites, ranging from tanghulu (candied fruit) and juicy popcorn chicken.
As Tillie and Oscar were devouring a corn dog, others enjoyed French fries, as well as a scrumptious chocolate cake they’d purchased from a vending machine.
Meanwhile, sun-kissed Sue was trying to tackle a crispy crêpe filled with custard and fresh berries – some of which were snatched by the little ones.
How does family-of-22 the Radfords afford to live?
AS Britain’s biggest family, it may come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills.
Between them, they have a whopping 22 children and seven dogs, which often has some people wonder how they manage their money.
The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds of Noel’s bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home.
On their website, it says: “We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family as well as for the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.”
The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK.
The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm, and some of their children helping out.
The older kids, who are working at least part-time, don’t get a free ride as they’re made to pay a small amount of rent to their parents.
“Us older ones do pay a little bit of board. Granted it’s not a lot but I’m also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.” their daughter Chloe said in a video on the YouTube channel.
Sue added: “We’ve always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we’d rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer.
“I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We’ve always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.”
Noel and Sue famously don’t rely on benefits for their bumper brood and live off their pie shop for income.
They also revealed they make money from brand partnerships on social media.
The Radford family stars in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting – which has run for four series.
Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue have been paid less than £10,000 for each show.
He told the Daily Mail: “The typical fee per episode is going to be in the thousands rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with TV shows of this nature.
“If they continue to get commissioned for a fourth or fifth season, then they are going to be able to command a higher fee.”
He estimates that the Radfords make £ 5,000 an episode.
Dad Noel, 53, had also opted for a sweet crêpe that came with ice cream and strawberries.
Despite keeping their kids’ tummies full with yummy food, the parents-of-22 both came under fire, as trolls raced to slam them.
Some YouTube viewers had an issue with the nutritional value of the food consumed, with one writing: ”Lot of money for rubbish food.”
Another agreed, describing the meals as ”fattening”.
”I bet the kids are bouncing off the walls?” someone else wondered, referring to the high sugar content in the dishes.
