Gardening enthusiast Trevor Pearce has a new best spuddy - and it is rather strange.

This animalistic potato has been unearthed from his garden in Leonard Avenue, Morden, where he grows tomatoes, carrots, parsnips and a host of other vegetables.

Mr Pearce, 69, said: "I nearly collapsed when I saw it. I think it looks like a little hippo or a pig."

The 2lb tatty is of the red potato variety, and Mr Pearce plans to show it off at gardening clubs.
