Meet NHS worker's potato buddy Spuddy

Meet Spuddy the potato! Last week we asked you to send us pictures of your unusual vegetables, but NHS worker Nicky Stopford took things one step further after discovering a potato which seemed to have developed sprouting limbs and a face.

Amazed by her find, Nicky felt Spuddy looked far too ‘naked’ and started to make potato-themed outfits for him during lockdown as a welcome diversion from her job helping to care for Covid-19 patients at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital.

Spuddy has already brought a smile to many people’s faces and Nicky is now thinking about the possibility of publishing a 2021 Spuddy calendar for charity.

Which Spuddy outfit is your favourite?
