Sue’s update on the family’s decision to stay in Morecambe and to not move house comes after a previous episode in the last series, which aired back in January, which saw Sue and Noel torn apart by the decision to relocate.
As the family searched for a new house, Sue and Noel found their dream property, but there was a big problem – it was too small.
At the start of the episode, the couple shared one of the main reasons why they were keen to move – the lack of privacy.
While we’ve all experienced nosey neighbours, Sue and Noel explained that they regularly get keen cold callers visit their family’s home.
Sue looked outside the window and said: “She’s taking pictures of my car and she’s taking pictures of my motorhome.
“People turning up at the house has definitely become a regular occurrence.
“They’ll start taking pictures. Then the front gate will open and they’ll start walking up the footpath.”
Noel then chimed in: “And that is where we draw the line.”

These concerns led to a big decision for the family, as Noel revealed: “I think this has gone too far. We don’t think we can live here anymore, so we’ve decided to make another attempt to move house.”
The couple began house hunting and soon enough, found their dream home.
Before she’d even stepped foot inside, Sue was beaming, as she claimed: “I want that house Noel.”
But despite finding their dream home, the couple were faced with a difficult decision – where would everyone sleep?

With more children than bedrooms, Noel explained: “Obviously the garage is going to have to be converted. But I don’t think we’ll find anything better than this.”
With temperatures rising, at the end of the episode, after a lot of deliberation, Sue and Noel gathered the children in the front room, as they revealed their decision.
Sue told the kids: “This journey started off with me and dad falling in love with this house, but we can’t fit everyone in. There’s too many of you.
“I’ve realised that as much as I really want the house, I want my family more.”
