Victoria Ratcliffe: "My mummy is amazing but she would have to be to be the mummy of 8 children who all think she is the best mum ever. She is always there for her babies and has even had time to build her own business. She really is super woman and I know me and my siblings couldn't ask for a better mummy. Love you Gillian Ratcliffe 💖🥰💕" Photo: s
