The couple are the head of Britain's biggest family and have been showing fans what it's like in their household for three series now with their Channel 5 series, which documents everything from living in their house, doing their own home improvements, running their business as well as making big Sunday morning breakfasts for them all.

A third shared: "Love the show looking forward to the next series. Having grandparents that had 11 children and yearly family gatherings hiring halls to fit everyone in that’s what it’s all about," with a fourth adding: "Love the program about your lovely family."

"We watch it all the way from Norway. Also your YouTube channel. My teen daughter and I love you guys. God Bless you all," one viewer penned, with another sharing: "Love watching your programme such a lovely family! Enjoy your break."

Sue recently revealed the pressures of running their business in the earlier years and the bankruptcy nearly caused them to divorce.

She said: "You would go to bed thinking about the debt, wake up thinking about the debt, wake up in the night thinking about the debt. If anything would have caused us to get a divorce, it was this shop. Looking back now, it was a time where I genuinely thought our marriage would not pull through. We’d get divorced and that would be it. It was absolutely awful."
