A PET hedgehog has become a social media 'celebrity' after being pictured at famous landmarks - while on a walk with its owner.

Georgie Andrews, 23, has an African pigmy called Winston Churchquill and the pair have become inseparable.

Winston now routinely joins her on walks around her home city of Plymouth, Devon, and takes adorable pictures him everywhere they go.

Georgie has photographed the tiny mammal in front of many of its iconic sights including the Hoe, the Barbican, and the Naval Memorial.

And he has proved such a hit, Winston now has his own Instagram account detailing his exploits.

Georgie, a waitress, said: "I follow a hedgehog account on Instagram and she takes hers up on mountains and stuff, so I thought it would be a good idea to try it.

"Mainly I took him around the Hoe and the Barbican, he likes getting out and about.

"They went down well online, I've got about 1,000 followers on Instagram now - I started off with about 60.

"They all love the hedgehog."

Among the other locations the nine-month old pet has also posed in front of include the Tamar Bridge, the Guildhall, and the famous Smeaton's Tower.
