But due to war breaking out in the Middle East, their holiday was cancelled.
There are currently thousands of British families stuck in Dubai and its neighbouring countries as tensions flare.
Parents have told the fear their kids are enduring as missiles are intercepted over their holiday accommodation.
Sue, meanwhile, took to Instagram to have a lengthy moan about the travel company her Dubai break is booked though.
She accused them of “ignoring” all of her calls and emails as she attempted to re-book.
Fans were shocked and accused the TV star of being “tone deaf”, with one warning her to “read the room”.
But Sue is remaining defiant.
Sue Radford ignores criticism over Dubai holiday complaint
Earlier today, Sue and her husband Noel ignored the growing backlash on their Instagram post.
Instead, just this morning, a message from The Radford Family’s account has popped up in response to another holidaymaker’s gripe.
The person had said: “Exact same with me. Joke company do not book with them.”
Shrugging off all the other critical remarks, Sue replied: “It’s just ridiculous and people are stranded over there with no contact.
“Did you see the comment from the guy whose girlfriend is over there. It’s shocking.”
Sue has also responded to another person who says their son is stranded in Thailand. His flight was cancelled.
“Oh gosh, I’ve had a few messages to say the same. I really hope he’s home soon,” she wrote.
The wave of angry messages have gone unanswered, however.
The backlash against Sue started after she posted a selfie on Instagram on Wednesday evening. The mum-of-22 captured herself with her hand over her face.
She explained how hers and Noel’s elder kids, Aimee and Chris, had bought them several weekend trip for Christmas.
They were unable to make them due to a clash in diaries and swapped the gift for a break in Dubai.
The couple are big fans of the United Arab Emirates. Just a few weeks ago, 22 Kids and Counting fans saw them visiting Dubai on another break.
Sue and Noel were due to fly there on Wednesday evening but complained they were having a “nightmare” with their travel company.

Sue Radford’s backlash over Dubai post
“Phone lines dead so guessing they have turned them off and no response from them to emails,” Sue ranted on Thursday.
“I have commented on their insta page but all of our comments have been deleted . And there been lots from very unhappy customers.
“I know we are safe in this country but even if you wanted to rebook you can’t because they aren’t dealing with it.”
Fans have hit out at Sue given the current situation in the Middle East.
One has even told her to “read the room”. Another has said she is “tone deaf”.
The person wrote: “This is tone deaf. People are dying. Others are hiding in hotel rooms/basements. And the rest are stranded with many fearing for their lives. Your holiday dues not matter right now. Your refund/swap is not the priority.”
Another added: “Really very dramatised, seeing as there’s a war going on. Think about the people who aren’t safe with their families.”
A third posted: “How insensitive to those who are currently fearing for their lives. People have died, a war is going on and you’re moaning because you can’t book a holiday to Dubai??”
And someone else blasted “Hmm very egocentric post this one is. Think off all the stranded people over there. Pfft!”
Sue was also told: “It’s a poor time to not read the room.”
‘Have you read the post?’
Sue, however, is remaining firm.
She has also updated her post to say the travel company in question had contacted her on Instagram.
When the flurry of criticism first began, she did reply to one person.
She asked them: “Have you actually read the post ? I hope nobody ever uses this company again because the stories I’ve read are awful, so sorry for telling people.”
But the person replied: “Yes I read the post but maybe there is a very good reason for not being able to get in touch or contact anyone.
“There are some major heartbreaking things going on, which I hope is the reason and that eventually you will get your trip/refund/holiday sorted.”
The rest have been ignored.
