Chris Evans from Wednesbury has been taking in becoming a Guinness World Records title holder after his red cabbage weighed in at 33kg (72.8lbs) in the CANNA UK National Giant Vegetables Championship at the Malvern Autumn Show last weekend.

His red cabbage beat the previous record by 2.5lbs and followed from a previous UK record for the same type of vegetable in 2016.

Mr Evans said he'd always wanted to break a world record and spoke of the feelings of when he found out he'd done it.

He said: "It's hard to say, but I would say it was a mixture of relief and just an overwhelming feeling of accomplishing what I'd always wanted to do.
