Mum of 22, Sue Radford<\/a>, has jetted off on her 10th family holiday of the year and laughed about school fines. This comes only months after she was slapped with a hefty fine<\/a> for taking some of her children out of school for a getaway.<\/p>\n

Posting on social media about the latest trip, the 22 Kids And Counting<\/a> star shared that her family had swapped Britain for France. She posted a pic of the airport runway, explaining that she had gone to France for “some interesting filming”.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up post uploaded to her stories, she added: “Also couldn\u2019t believe how busy the airport was with lots of children heading to see the real Santa, hope they don\u2019t get a school fine.\u201d She ended the words with a laughing emoji.<\/p>\n

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 \u00a352,000 trip that celebrated her 50th birthday.<\/p>\n

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 \u00a365 fine for each child, as well as \u00a3118 due in court costs. As such, the whole amount they had to pay was \u00a3378.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
