A pair of pumpkin lovers have smashed their own record and grown the UK’s biggest pumpkin for the second time. The gourd weighs as much as a Fiat 500.
Twins Ian and Stuart Paton outdid themselves by growing the 2,656lbs (1,205kg) monster squash in time for Halloween. The specimen is 63lbs heavier than the pumpkin they grew in 2020, which weighed in at 2,593lbs.
Unfortunately, the 61-year-old twins missed out on achieving a new world record by just 47lbs. But there’s still hope as the brothers have one 'monster' left in the patch that is due to be weighed next week.
