BRITAIN'S biggest family have decided to stay in their 'millionaire mansion' with ten bedrooms and have taken to a spot of DITY to freshen the place up.

Sue and Noel Radford, are parents to Britain's biggest family with 22 kids and have spent the week redecorating their Lancashire house.

In a YouTube video, Noel revealed they would be working on their kitchen and adjacent dining room, hoping to get the walls completed in one day.

The family were on day two of their DIY project and had already completed their kids' bedrooms and upstairs landing.

Now it was time to tackle the downstairs and Noel confessed there was one job he absolutely despised.

He revealed he'd soon be starting to gloss the paint they had already applied adding: "Which I absolutely hate, can't stand glossing.

"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."

Noel then showed the different paint samples they had used to knuckle down on the colour they would paint the kitchen and they had opted for a modern sage green colour.

The dad added that they always use Dulux Extra Care paint as it was the toughest and lasts the longest - something you need when you have several kids running around.

The paint costs £50 a tin from B&Q but can often be found on sale.

"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.

But Noel wasn't convinced the green paint would go well with the yellow backsplash in their garden, until Sue put up a painting of cows to bring all the colours together.

Once Sue was up from her lie in, the pair cracked on with the dining room which was painted plain grey.

But Sue found some bargain wallpaper she set her heart on for £13.99 a roll in her local DIY shop which featured a maximalist print of peacocks and paisley in a gorgeous light blue shade.

The pair decided to do one large feature wall using the wallpaper in the room, but it didn't go quite to plan.

As the pair were gluing the new wallpaper on top of their old one, they both started to fall down because of how heavy it was.

"We've had a bit of a disaster, uh, the paper underneath started coming off when we put this paper on," Noel said after takign it all off.

"We thought we'd get away with it but it's not working so we're having to take all this off quickly."

Fortunately they had only done three strands so they were back on schedule fairly quickly.

After completing the transformation Sue gave viewers a tour of the rooms to show off the makeover and she was clearly thrilled with how they turned out.

"I really like it, what a difference it's made, just the grey was so dull boring drab," she said.

"We're not going to get rid of the grey on the stairs but we are going to do different bits of colour in the rest of the house."
