This is the moment championship-winning pumpkin carver Simon McMinnis, 40, created a series of life like celebrities from the humble pumpkin.

I watched in awe as Simon McMinnis, 40, who has perfected his skills over a decade, chiselled his incredible Halloween lanterns - which sell for as much as £500.
The self-employed tiler began carving pumpkins in 2009 as an outlet for his creativity - after growing a squash weighing 158kg in his back garden.
And he went on to clinch both a British national award and an international title for his amazing vegetable-based crafting skills.
He now sells around 75 of the extremely lifelike sculptures each spooky season, with his work even being showcased on the BBC’s The One Show.
