Sue Radford, mum to 22, has landed herself in hot water after complaining about her cancelled Dubai break — despite jetting off on five holidays in the last six months.
Sue’s Dubai Disaster Sparks Backlash
The Radford family matriarch took to Instagram to vent about a travel company cancelling her planned Dubai sunshine getaway.
Alongside a “face planting” selfie, Sue wrote: “Honestly, face planting is all I can do on a day.”
She explained how husband Chris and daughter Aimee had gifted her weekend breaks for Christmas, but after swapping dates, they booked Dubai — only for the trip to be scrapped at the last minute.
Sue slammed the travel firm for dead phone lines and ignoring emails, adding: “I have commented on their Insta page, but all of our comments have been deleted, and there have been lots from very unhappy customers.”
She urged fans to “think twice” before booking with the company, warning: “So anyone who’s booked with this company think twice PLEASE.”
Online Fury Over About ‘Tone Deaf’ Complaints
But Sue’s post quickly drew sharp criticism from followers who branded it “tone deaf” amid the raging Middle East war.
With UK airspace closed, roughly 300,000 Brits remain stranded in the region — desperately seeking evacuation flights.
One user snapped: “Think of those who are actually stuck over there instead of hounding travel companies.”
“My friend’s 9 year old son is stuck in a hotel hearing fighter jets overhead, seeing fires from falling debris… This isn’t a time to moan about holidays.”
Another added: “People are dying. Your holiday doesn’t matter right now. Your refund is not the priority.”
Comments piled in urging kindness and patience as airlines, including Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, and Etihad began limited flights home.
Sue’s Lavish Trips Raise Eyebrows
Critics were also quick to highlight Sue’s apparent luxury lifestyle while others are in crisis, pointing out she’s taken five holidays in just six months, including a recent trip to Dubai with husband Noel Radford.
The Radfords, Britain’s biggest family, make their money running The Radford Pie Company and from social media deals. They avoid benefits but manage a busy family and business empire.
Yet, it’s the timing of Sue’s complaints that fans say missed the mark.
“All you can think about is holidays when there is a war on? Unbelievable. Tone deaf post much?”
What do you think? Was Sue out of line, moaning about a cancelled sun-soaked escape while others face true danger?
