Vincent Sjodin from Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, is known by the nickname ‘Vince the Veg’. And that’s for a reason. He has just grown the world's heaviest cucumber. Measuring 4ft (1.2m) long, it weighed in at a whopping 29lb 8oz (13.4kg) at last month's UK National Giant Vegetables Championships. The vegetable smashed the previously held record by more than 14oz (0.4kg).
It was Vince's second world record-breaking marvel in two years. In 2021, he grew an enormous marrow, weighing in at an eye-watering 256lbs 10oz (116.4kg). Sjodin: "I started about six years ago after seeing the giant veg display at the Vale of Glamorgan show at Fonmon Castle. I remember telling the blokes there, 'I'm going to have a go at that, I'll be back next year' - and I was."
