A GIANT garden feature of a TV presenter has been installed outside the home of a Caerleon family for the next two weeks.

Siblings Tom Wells, 18 and Joe MacIntosh, 17, of East Lynne Gardens entered a Twitter competition to have the behemoth bust of one of The Grand Tour presenters displayed at their Caerleon home.

On Saturday, (February 18), a leviathan likeness of Richard Hammond’s head arrived, after the pair were revealed to be one of the winners of the social media competition.

“I entered the competition using my Twitter account. Joe sent me the link and I thought it was quite a funny idea. We entered as a joke and then a week later, I got a private message on Twitter and we had won,” said Mr Wells.

“The heads were selected at random, we didn’t get to choose.”

Mr Wells added that he’s a fan of the eight ft tall head, even if it only looks like the smallest member of the motoring show from certain angles.

“I think it’s funny. I really like it,” he said.

“I don’t think it looks a lot like him compared the heads of Clarkson and May but I think you need to looking at it from the right angle.”

The head was first created at Cardiff’s Wild Creations, who are also responsible for the Ball in the Wall at Cardiff Castle during the Rugby World Cup in 2015 and the Caerphilly Castle dragon sculptures.

While the head is in situ at the Caerleon address, the family plan to raise money for the Welsh Air Ambulance, as the sister service treated the TV presenter after his high-speed dragster crash in 2006.

“We are known for, at Christmas, decorating the houses with lights. We’ve managed to raise a bit of money for charity by doing that – it’s around £4,000,” said Rob MacIntosh, the pair’s father.

“Everyone is allowed to come along a take a photo, but if they want to make a donation in the bin, we’ll pass it onto the Welsh Air Ambulance.

“It was the Air Ambulance that helped Richard Hammond after his crash so it seemed fitting,” said Mr MacIntosh.

“We have it for a minimum of two weeks, but we are hoping to have it for three so that the local scout groups can come to see it.

As part of the competition, the pair sent a picture of their garden to make sure that it could house the oversized ornament.

Joe said: “We had to send a photo of the garden first to make sure that it was big enough.

“Clarkson’s head came here as well as the lorry was on its way up to Manchester. It’s certainly different.

“We have spotlights on it so that people can see it in the dark. Although I guess you can’t really miss it.”
