Colin, who is from New Zealand, found the the 7.8kg (17lb 3oz) potato in his vegetable garden in August.
It is currently being tested in his home country, but could be sent to Scotland to verify what it really is.
Craig is keeping the potato in the freezer in a bid to help it last longer.
But he insisted he won’t be eating it, telling a hysterical Phil and Rochelle: “I gave it the old taste test when I found it but it would be like eating your pet lamb.
“I am thinking about turning him into Vodka though. We could have a wake for him and toast him.”
Its present entry for the heaviest potato was found in Britain in 2011 and weighed just under 5kg.
