Huge swede praised by Snoop Dogg

Since Welsh farmer Ian Neale made the biggest swede in the world he has been inundated with praise.

Weighing in at 38.8 kg, Mr Neale's effort is currently being verified by Guinness World Records, but that hasn't stopped Snoop Dogg getting involved.

The hip-hop superstar recorded a YouTube clip offering his congratulations to the man and giving him a "shout out".

Draped in a Cardiff City jersey, Snoop – whose last album was called Doggumentary – says there are two tickets to his next show for Mr Neale if he is interested, which is taking place on October 8th at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff.

"I want you to come backstage and see me because I do vegetation myself and I want to know your secret," the musician adds.

Mr Neale has confirmed he is going to the show, where the two will get to exchange ideas on the best growing methods.
