Default Electric Kettle - Impedance to earth

If I measure the resistance between the live and earth terminals of my
Russell Hobs stainless steel electic kettle I get a reading of about
9M ohms. (using my electonic multimeter)

Is this normal or indicative of a fault which a higher voltage might be
able to jump causing the fuse to blow?
