A woman who honed her sheep-shearing skills on the Island is a new world record holder.

Alexia Phillips from New Zealand worked with sheep on the Isle of Man after a cadetship in Australia.

At a shearing event in Western Australia, she took 80 seconds per animal on average - managing to shear 367 sheep in just eight hours!

She's now the fastest woman shearer after shattering the previous record of 358.
