Sue Radford says their family have been dealt a heartbreaking blow in their quest for the perfect home.
After 11 years in their Morecambe home, the Radfords were excited about purchasing a new house that promised more privacy. They had set their sights on a stunning farmhouse but faced a dilemma due to insufficient bedrooms, which would require five of their eldest kids to leave the nest.In an attempt to keep everyone together, Sue had the idea to let the older children rent out their current Victorian property.
One fan accused the family of going through the motions "so all that was just for TV ratings and free holidays". Sue responded and explained the situation: "No it fell through and we decided that we didn't want a mortgage going into our 60s - too old for that now." Fans were supportive, one commented: "Aw what a shame," while another added: "Thought that house was a perfect fit for your family. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters."
