British farmer claims Xmas dinner could be ruined due to a shortage of CARROTS

A farmer is warning the traditional British Christmas dinner could be in jeopardy this year because of a looming shortage of CARROTS caused by the current heatwave.

Rodger Hobson says the lack of British-grown carrots could last up until June 2019 and force supermarkets to import the vegetable from abroad.

The 54-year-old farmer has revealed this summer's heatwave and Beast From The East has been the 'perfect storm' of poor growing conditions.
