Barry 77, of Newbold said: "My wife found this in a bowl of tomatoes straight from our greenhouse. It looks just like it's got a nose.

"I have been growing tomatoes for 40 years but I've never had one like this before - I doubt if I'll have one again."

He'll be keeping his eyes peeled to sauce another one.

Tomato nose is actually a genetic defect that, according to some sources, affects 1 out of every 1,000 plants
