Sue, who previously admitted that she and husband Noel don’t want any more children, took to her Instagram account where she admitted it was an emotional occasion.

Yesterday, she wrote: “I think I’m going to be so emotional tomorrow, our last baby is ONE.”

The family has marked the occasion by decorating the former care home where they live with hundreds of balloons.

Sue shared a video of the pink, yellow, blue, purple and green balloon arch as well as dozens of balloons hanging from the ceiling with gold ribbon.

The mum-of-22 revealed she had used local company To the Balloon and Back for the decorations.

The mum has also purchased a giant light-up ‘1’ as well as huge building blocks spelling out ‘ONE’, both bigger than the birthday girl herself.

This will be the last first birthday that Sue celebrates of her brood.

The mum of Britain's biggest family revealed in May last year that she was "100 per cent done" with having kids.

Speaking in a YouTube Q&A, she said: "Every other question asked is, will you be having another baby and the answer to that is no!
