“We work hard to give our children some luxuries in life, he said on the show. We are not ones to analyse what we need, but it’s a phenomenal amount of money, so I prefer not to think about it.”

A couple with nine children have revealed how they rebuilt their very lavish lifestyle after nearly being made homeless four years ago.
Fran and Layden Seymour, from Suffolk, appeared on ITV s Britain s Biggest Families: 31 Kids And Counting The Pennies, which aired last night, where they shared details of their luxurious life.
The couple - who are parents to Taylor, 21, Oliver, 19, Morgan, 17, Ashton, 15, Jenson, 13, Tristan, 11, Gemma, nine, Xavier, five, and three-year-old Radley - told how they were forced to move into a caravan while in huge amounts of debt in 2017.
But their luck turned around after investing in a soft play centre which has enabled them to buy a string of other businesses - with the family now renovating a 15th century pub into boutique hotel for £100,000.

Small families may think that they spend a lot of money of food every week, but imagine if you had to budget for a super-sized brood?
A new documentary is delving into the lives of some of Britain s biggest families - including a couple with 11 children who spend half their weekly income on food.
Three sets of parents showcase what it s like living with nine children or more on ITV s Britain s Biggest Families: 31 Kids And Counting The Pennies, which airs Thursday at 9pm.
Nicole and Joseph Sutton and their 11 children, from Cumbria, are on a food budget of up to £200-a-week, and admit they often don t have the spare funds for family days out, while parents-of-11 Ben and Zoe Sullivan, from Lossiemouth, Scotland, spend £300 of their £600 weekly income on their shopping bill.
