Love them or hate them, they are a firm fixture on most Christmas dinner plates, but it seems the humble Brussels sprout is under threat.
A marauding moth - the diamondback - arrived in the UK earlier than expected this year and in unprecedented numbers.
Its larvae munch their way through the leaves of sprouts at a devastating rate.
Farmers in Northern Ireland are seeing the damage too.
