MUM-OF-22 Sue Radford risks having Christmas in shambles after their water supply got cut off… and they are using water from the hot tub to manually flush their toilet.
Britain’s biggest family have spent 48 hours without water and may have to spend the big day in their motorhome.
Desperate Sue took to Instagram last night to call the situation “grim” but joked that her husband Noel – and dad to their many kids – dubbed the situation as a “hot flush”.
She penned in an Instagram story to her 495,000 followers: “When you have to resort to getting water out of the hot tub to flush the toilet.
“Yep, GRIM.
“But then Noel Radford says this is what’s known as a hot flush.”

The 47-year-old asked if anyone else was experiencing the same issues after cold weather caused pipes to freeze over up north.
The big family lives in the seaside town of Morecambe, Lancs where United Utilities shut off the main water supply for 24 hours on Monday.
The supplier blamed freeze thaw incidents which caused pipes to burst but said they were attempting to fix the issues.
Poor Sue, Noel and their kids have been without water for two days and have resorted to using hot tub water to flush their toilet.

The Radfords questioned on their Instagram account @theradfordfamily why water issues were happening to their home when the temperatures hadn't steeped that much.
In one story, Sue said: "Lots of you saying the water board should be delivering water as you live down south and have had it delivered to you.
“NOPE, we don't get that and still without water 30 hours later.
“Although Heysham and Lancaster and most of Morecambe are now with water from what we can understand.
“Thank goodness for the hot tub to help flush the toilets through."
The family own a motorhome in which Sue previously said they have created memories they will “treasure forever”.
They may be creating Christmas Day memories in the van if their water supply isn’t reinstated in time for the big day on Sunday.
The hardworking parents say they have spent over £1million raising their children, but still manage to live a luxury lifestyle.
Sue recently jetted off to New York for a festive trip with three of her daughters.
