As summer approaches, many Brits will be hoping to dust off their grills to make the most of the warmer weekends.
But many will no doubt have plenty of barbecue disasters to laugh about later too.
Britain's ever temperamental summer weather can see plans quickly turned on their heads.
Not only this, but some 60 percent of Brits have admitted to burning food on their grill, according to an Atomik Research survey.
What's more, seven in 10 respondents said they would go on to eat the food, even if it was burnt.
Iceland is now offering grill enthusiasts a chance to cash in on their barbecue fail stories.
The supermarket chain has launched a BBQ SOS (Save Our Summer) Service to help Brits fully enjoy their summer grills.
It is offering a free barbecue food bundle to people who share their stories over the next few months.
Starting from June 7 and ending on August 17, Brits can enter the prize draw by simply outlining how their past barbecues have gone wrong.
All you need to do is tell Iceland your barbecue woes in up to 100 words.
One lucky winner will be selected weekly throughout the competition period.
The lucky few selected will get a stack of barbecue grill food worth £23.50 in total.
Paul Dhaliwal, chief commercial officer at Iceland Foods, said: "We know how unpredictable the British summer can be, one minute it's cloudy, the next it's perfect BBQ weather.
"People want to seize the moment and get grilling without all the hassle.

‘I respect them and I support their message': How Kneecap won over Glastonbury's masses
This was a day of political pantomime at Glastonbury, a day when the usual chilled out vibes were replaced by something altogether more febrile and excitable. The chants of 'Free Palestine' that have peppered the site over the last 48 hours came to a head during three sets on the West Holts stage: from British singer Nilüfer Yanya, London hip hop duo Bob Vylan and the folk devils du jour, Irish hip hop band Kneecap. Palestinian flags made up around half the banners at these gigs, and they pepper the entire festival too. In sweltering heat, Yanya's set closed with a backdrop that read 'More action, less noise, free Palestine' (the exhausted lunchtime crowd let out a feeble whoop), while Bob Vylan blasted execs in the music industry who supported Isreal. Vylan's set culminated in him leading the chant 'Kill the IDF', supported by a full-throated crowd, even if every audience member didn't partake. But the heat rose even further with Kneecap, whose pro-Palestinian stance and politicised, cartoony rap drew one of the biggest crowds the West Holts – Glastonbury's third biggest stage – has ever seen, and certainly at 4pm. This is my 22 nd time at this event and I can't recall more anticipation over a mid-afternoon act. Tens of thousands of people were crammed onto this tiny patch of Somerset grass, a crowd so big that organisers closed the field an hour before they came on. In the shadow of Glastonbury Tor, orange and green flares blazed as chants of 'Free Palestine' and 'Free Mo Chara' (the latter a reference to the band's rapper who is alleged to have displayed a flag in support of Hezbollah) echoed around the Vale of Avalon. It's unlikely that residents of the sweetly bucolic nearby village of Pilton have ever heard anything like it. 'I respect them and I support their message, and that's why I'm here,' says Sian, 27, who has seen the band before and says they're 'amazing'. 'They're controversial but they're trying to spread a message.' Ah yes. The message. Moral panic has swept the nation about this performance, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer saying it shouldn't happen. Behind the scenes, some big-name execs within the music industry have been lobbying Glastonbury to drop the band. But happen it did, with festival organiser Emily Eavis saying on Wednesday that all performers are 'welcome'. What's more, the whole thing was meant to be filmed by the BBC. 'The BBC's editor is going to have some f---ing job,' said Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, stage name Mó Chara, half way through the set. But that wasn't the case. The live feed was cut, despite the previous band – rock-rap duo Bob Vylan – having their set broadcast. At the time of writing it is not clear whether the BBC will show edited highlights of Kneecap or not. Here's a Kneecap recap. The West Belfast group are Republican hip hop musicians who rap largely in the Irish language and have never hidden their disdain for the British government (they're named after the grim punishment meted out by the IRA). In April, the rappers hit the headlines when they displayed a message at California's Coachella accusing Israel of 'committing genocide against the Palestinian people'. Film then emerged of the band urging people to kill their local MP (they apologised). And earlier this month, member Ó hAnnaidh (Mo Chara), appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, charged with a terror offence for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah at a London gig last year. The 27-year-old was bailed and will next appear in court on August 20 – in a previous statement, his band denied the offence. Chara received a hero's welcome at the Pyramid Stage. Chara's two bandmates – Naoise Ó Cairealláin, known as Móglaí Bap, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, known as DJ Próvaí, a former teacher who also wears a balaclava in the colours of the Irish tricolour – bounded around in the broiling heat, crowd-surfing, encouraging a mosh pit and generally stoking the cauldron of chaos. The trio thanked the organising Eavis family for standing by them amid pressure to cancel the show. I lost count of the number of times chants of 'F--- Keir Starmer' and 'Free Palestine' rang out. The crowd was crushingly tight to be in. There was never a sense that things could tip into violence though. The concert was what I'd call an angry celebration. The band were preaching to the converted here. One 26-year-old audience member has snuck away from his friends to watch Kneecap today. 'A lot of them are Jewish, and I have to keep it quiet,' he says. But his motives aren't what you'd expect. His mum runs an Irish centre in Leeds and he picked up the Irish language through his grandfather. Despite their almost-cancellation in the outside world, Kneecap really connect with people. 'You're just a s--- Jeremy Corbyn,' went one chant about Starmer. Kneecap's politics can be something of a joke. Then there's this. The bare faces of the people wearing balaclavas in the audience suggested they weren't even born when the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998. To them, shorn of all context, this is dress-up. Cosplay. Riverdance for rebels. And once the concert was over, these same hoards dispersed to watch chart-friendly performers such as Raye, Charli XCX or the Scissor Sisters. Kneecap provided a 'moment' for sure. Fans were happy. Walking out, Vincent Poel, 28, said there was 'exactly the right amount' of politics in the trio's set. But, at the end of the day and after all the noise, this was just entertainment.

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: Kris Jenner and boyfriend Corey Gamble's tense exchange at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding
Kris Jenner was looking her best when she showed off her elegant black-and-white dress with her dapper boyfriend Corey Gamble on Friday at Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos ' opulent wedding with Lauren Sánchez. But despite plastering a broad grin on her shockingly youthful face in video showing her and Corey leaving the nuptials on a water taxi, the 69-year-old Kardashian–Jenner family matriarch appeared to have a tense conversation with her beau. And now expert lip-reader Nicola Hickling reveals that Kris appears appeared to be in a hurry to get back to her accommodations and didn't want to wait to share a water taxi with any other A-listers. has requested comment from Jenner's representative but hasn't yet received a response. At the start of the exchange, Kris — who secured her spot among the best-dressed stars at the wedding with her black-and-white ensemble — took what looked like a paper towel from a porter, possibly to dry off any water that might have splashed on her during the journey in the island city. 'Tell them I said thanks,' she appeared to say just before she descended into the docked boat. Kris Jenner, 69, and her boyfriend Corey Gamble, 44, appeared to have a tense conversation aboard a water taxi after Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Venice wedding on Friday Bezos and Sánchez have been an item going back to 2019, and it was revealed that they had already legally married prior to the ceremony; she's pictured in her wedding dress on the cover of Vogue Hickling — who also decoded numerous other celebrity exchanges at the wedding — noted that two male porters were then seen speaking to each other, before one turned to Kris and appeared to ask, 'You want to travel alone?' Kris could be seen responding, and her boyfriend Corey, 44, stepped down into the boat behind her. While it waited, she turned toward cameras on the other side of the canal and displayed a winning smile. Corey went on to tap a porter on the chest, and he appeared to tell him, 'We're happy to travel on our own. It's what Kris would like to do.' But he didn't appear to have resolved the situation and gotten them on the move fast enough for the momager's liking. Kris could be seen turning to Corey as she brusquely inquired, 'What are you doing? Do you need to talk?' She continued: 'I told you... for God's sake... I'd like to travel alone.' Corey seemed to do his best to accommodate his longtime partner and stepped out of the boat to speak to another man, apparently to confirm that he and Kris would be traveling alone in the boat. They seemed to get the picture, and shortly afterward, the water taxi began to sail away toward their destination. Surprisingly, Kris didn't even stick close to her celebrity daughters Kim and Khloé Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, all of whom were attending the wedding. Other stars at the pricey nuptials included Tom Brady, a newly single Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio and his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Oprah Winfrey and her friend Gayle King, Bill Gates and his girlfriend, Usher, Tommy Hilfiger, Elle Goulding and Diane von Fürstenberg, among others. Bezos and Sánchez have been an item going back to 2019, and it was revealed that they had already legally married prior to the ceremony. Her elegant white wedding dress was featured on the cover of Vogue to celebrate the occasion. In the cover photo, the journalist beamed from ear to ear in the dress, which featured lacy floral sleeves and a figure-hugging bodice with a high neckline. It had a skirt with paisley and floral lace designs that was cut close over her hips before fanning out at the knee. It featured a long white train behind her, and her sheer veil also dragged behind her to create a second layer. Bezos and Sánchez tied the knot in an extravaganza that reportedly cost $20 million and involved the wedding party of more than 200 guests taking over the entire San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice. Just minutes after saying 'I do' with Bezos, Sánchez took to Instagram to share a photo of herself and the groom, which she captioned with their wedding date. While he favored a more casual, summery suit on Thursday, Bezos opted for a classic black three-piece tuxedo for his wedding day.
