Jamie Oliver is set to welcome two families of beavers to his Essex country estate in a bid solve local flooding issues.
The celebrity chef, who resides with his family in an Elizabethan manor house in Finchingfield, already has a pair of the semiaquatic rodents - which were introduced onto the Spains Hall Estate shortly after they moved in three years ago.
The Eurasian breed pair, affectionately known as Woody and Willow, have since had two babies.
