IT'S a Christmas miracle — Kevin the Carrot is still available to purchase on the Isle of Wight.

Earlier today, Aldi told the County Press that the metre-high plush vegetable had sold out in all stores across the UK.

However, reporter Imogen Tew spotted some Kevins in Cowes this afternoon while doing her shopping.

Imogen said: "There were five but someone just put one back — clearly he changed his mind about spending £20 on a stuffed carrot."

Thirty seconds later, a Kevin was purchased by an eager shopper.

Reporter Imogen Tew spotted the carrots while doing her lunchtime shopping.

Aldi confirmed that the store had a delivery last night, and now have five in stock.

Earlier this month, Aldi released its Christmas campaign featuring Kevin for a third consecutive year.

His popularity has led the retailer to describe him as "just a humble carrot who stole the nation's heart".

The cuddly toys are being sold in support of the supermarket's charity partner, the Teenage Cancer Trust.
