A giant pumpkin - which weighs as much as a cow - has been crowned the biggest in the UK.

The 95-stone pumpkin was grown from what is believed to be the world's most expensive seed costing a whopping £1,250.

It is the handiwork of Matthew Oliver, 29, at RHS Hyde Hall near Chelmsford in Essex.

The seed came from the current world record holder - a 165-stone (1,054kg) pumpkin grown in Switzerland in 2014.

The pumpkin also set a new record for the UK's heaviest pumpkin grown outdoors.
