Weighing 92 kg, Freddy costs his owner Claire Stoneman around 12,500 pounds a year in maintenance and feeding costs.

His favourite snack is an entire roast chicken and peanut butter on toast – but he has also devoured 23 sofas while growing up.

Stoneman told The Star that sitting on the sofa with him was like lying next to a newborn elephant.
